@AnarchoNinaWrites Capitalist Realism is when Billions have to die so the status quo is preserved.

At the same time the same assholes yell about declining birth rates in the west.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @edwardchampion To give a concrete example about the double standards.

The Picture below is a climate activist.

This is right wing assholes trying to storm a ferry:

The video was insane and the 30 involved werent even put into custody.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @edwardchampion Roe v Wade is super important but it takes a backseat when food and housing is unaffordable while the news report how great the economy does.

Ever since 2008 you could see banks and companies getting preferable treatment while the little people get shafted.

It is also part of the Rise of the AFD in Germany. Austerity and neoliberal lawmaking across the parties sowed the seed while a corportate media bashes leftism and downplays right wing extremism.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @edwardchampion

It goes even deeper.

"As many as 40%-60% of people experiencing homelessness have a job, but housing is unaffordable because wages have not kept up with rising rents. There is no county or state where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest apartment. At minimum wage, people have to work 86 hours a week to afford a one-bedroom."

I learned in school that the Nazis had an easy time because of economic hardships.

@AnarchoNinaWrites You said it perfectly, any honest view what constitutes fascism would quickly reveal how much of it is already there.

Most people are just thought about the aesthetic and surface level.

If it comes rightly dressed its always welcomed and any accustion is seen as hyperbole.

How can ICE Camps at the be border be like concentration camps their barbed wire is 2mm thicker?

Similar how systemic racism was glossed over as something individuals do not a state wide problem.

@DrALJONES @SaanichGuy @PatrickoftheG

I might misremember:

Frantz Fanon argued that Empire always comes back home to roost.

What is done abroad will be done at home.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I find online discourse rather exhausting because of that.

I had the luck that my first forum was done by people i spoke to in Real Life so i learned that misunderstandings are common.

But so much of the online discourse is super uncharitable to the point i am afraid to engage with people that i am not 100% are on the same page as me.

A Reddit doofus stalked me because i said i was fine with pre release games if they are fun.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I read that.

"YoU hAvE nO SoLuTiOn aNd oNlY wHiNe!"

Dude doesn't know you are not the DOJ

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

They openly want to reshape the US into and i quote:

"Project 2025 seems to be full of a whole array of ideas that are designed to let Donald Trump function as a dictator, by completely eviscerating many of the restraints built into our system."

IDK man maybe your system is cooked if voters are the ones that decide if a fascist dictatorship is installed.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

I mean you prolly saw it already. But

"The Alt-Right Playbook: You Go High, We Go Low" covered that.

Democrats are so enamored with the idea that all this shit is about working together and compromise that goverment is something proper.

They never seem to learn that they are doormats and goverment is a boot on the neck...

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Yeah!

"Welcome to Dearborn, America's Jihad Capital"

That is not a headline thats stochastic Terror.

Between this the New York Times trying to get Trans People murdered i'd think that fascism is deeply entrenched in the media...

@AnarchoNinaWrites@oliphant.social I'd add this: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-anarchists-against-democracy

It changed my view on democracies.

I recently begun to believe that fascism it the natural endpoint of a liberal democracy.

The Weimar and Roman Republic both fell into despotism because, not despite, its democratic institutions.

@AnarchoNinaWrites@oliphant.social Its exhausting isnt it?

But they have to do this shit otherwise all their effort they put into convincing people to vote was a waste and performative instead of helpful in the face of systemic failure.

@AnarchoNinaWrites@oliphant.social Liberalism not even once.

Their limited Framework makes them think that they are the outermost left.

Like the times people told me Bill gates is one of the good guys because right wingers attack him for his foundation.

The people on the right call Biden a socialist since their Overton window is so far right that the amount of antisemitism is the deciding factor between centrist and fascist...

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Ever heard "Antisemitism is the socialism of fools"?

End of1890's this was a known quote within leftist circles and nothing ever changed.
