someone: "I have realised a while ago that the worst thing you can be isn't a racist or a facist. It's to be ugly, disabled, degenerate, sexually deviant.

"Because when they express hatred against a fascist, they don't mock their fascism. They mock their belly, their ill-fitting clothes, their ugly old face, the colour of their teeth or how they comb their hair. They mock his small penis, or that his penis is weird, or they mock that he's secretly gay or he's about to get raped so much in prison. They don't mock that she's racist, that she destroyed the livelihood of millions of families, that she defends war and the police apparatus. They mock that she's a bitch, that her voice is annoying, that she did plastic surgery or doesn't do sex or do too much sex.

"When a fascist trips in the public eye, those people who identify as progressive, but all along are eager for an opportunity to tear down someone for having low-brow tastes, for eating steak with ketchup, for being ugly or dumb or fat or old – they see a green light to engage that desire, and jump on it with glee."
