literally the 80s Guy play from futurama
broaching the subject of effective response to liberals & other groups like them
I've got some liberal friends, and i've got a few more leftist friends who are kind of naive about the value of electoral politics, and are in a place where extreme action is still not appropriate
i'm not trying to fedpost here, and i don't think you should either... but like, how do y'all talk about this?
People who have grown up in the late empire and find themselves suddenly waking up to the fact they're in a fascist state; because it's finally turned the guns inward in a serious way. But it feels like most are in denial and not willing to confront that it's here, and that things will not be getting better without intervention.
The idea that maybe October needs to happen is such a hard sell, but it feels urgent to realign how people are thinking about what's happening, because this is fucking serious. I just simply do not believe protests and votes can remotely amount to anything, because those things have never worked without the power behind them being organized and otherwis
i dont know how this is a mystery. You have money, privilege, and delusion coming from a single sector of the empowered elite they exalt power and their own ideas of strength, they're disgusted by what they perceive as weakness, and for a lot of power and control reasons they want womens rights rolled back, they want social life policed so strongly that it doesnt make sense to tolerate queer or any kind of deviant-from-norm lifestyles. They consider true knowlege and understanding to be a threat and an expression of power, and as such they want the average person to be significantly more ignorant. They want kids to work because if you can start young, you can raise a person to basically be their job - which under a fascist view can range from early exposure to corporate life for the privileged, to really fucked up shit like, in tandem with rolling womens rights back, the earlier you can condition them to their assigned role, the less likely they are to want to break out of it.
They want us more atomized and dumber, for the sake of control. They want the privileged to be highly specialized and locked in, too busy striving to survive to make trouble. They want a world where the weak die and the bonds that tie us together need not cross paths with anything like empathy or compassion
these people are psychopaths. There's a reason these freaks all worship Odin and exalt their half baked ideas of norse identity. There's a reason they're willing to tear all this shit down. Their view of a climate collapse world is one where only the strong need be bothered to allow survival.
These folks have always been around, but since being rebuked in WW2 they've spent decades acquiring more wealth, more power, and making sure that they have credible smokescreens. The pageantry of 20th century fascism will start a fight, so they trade in confusion, illusion, and ignorance, rather than WWE-esque shows of strength. JSOC instead of the SS. the death camps made even more remote
it's the same worldview and it's the same money and it's the same basic bullshit, but with more obfuscation, and more concessions to the fact we live in a world where they can't pretend their ideas of elite excellence or whatever is localized to a single culture or skin color.
SpheroidLover69 here to issue credible threats to all tetrahedron loving psychos
I caught some absolute demon mocking my rotund spheroid collection on the bus yesterday and i'm basically ready to destroy them over it. I caught them wearing a tetrahedron hat today. Like really motherfucker? A pyramid? You're ready to die mocking spheroid glory for a pyramid?!
It wasn't even a proper tetrahedron, the angles were way fucked up - absolutely fucking unbelievable. Talk shit about spheroids get hit
