@davep - I literally studied fascism and totalitarianism in high school and in college (my degree is in history with minors in political science).
So. Yay. This is awesome.
I'm doing as much as I can as an individual and as much as I can with local groups.
But dang if there's a metric fuck ton of people who are ignorant or apathetic (or both). Not to say anything of those who are openly malicious and encouraging it.
Wooooo....
I feel like a nuclear scientist staring at the mushroom cloud of a close by, recently detonated atomic bomb. I can tell you how it works. But that's not gonna stop me from getting blown away by it.
Meh. Fuck it. I'll throw sand in whatever gears I can find and create or prop up whatever mutual aid I can.
