I know they’re going to say it is only jokes. Fuck that. I get y’all want to be edgelords, but this is the most dangerous thing that has happened this century. I would be surprised now if we make it to the end of the year without some people getting assassinated for real, and it will target overwhelmingly the leftest end of the spectrum.
Example, example, example. There are others.
Y’all are on the precipice of finding out firsthand the difference between “OMG I’m so oppressed, the police are racist and I’m struggling to pay my bills, civil war y’all” and “OMG I’m so oppressed, a gang of big violent fuckers with bats and boots and the support of the government just attacked my whole community, seriously hurt me, and burned part of my house down. They told us if they find us here tomorrow, they’ll kill us.”
Fascism is specifically a right wing type of Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism is Authoritarianism: Left, right, or center. Please, use the right words for this. Yes, I’m choosing to be a stickler because a lot of right wing nuts claim Nazis are left wing and use that to prevent self reflection. Words have power and meaning - That’s even the very point you are making, that words can do more than violence
Communism / Lennism / Marxism was the left-authoritarians.
Fascism was the right-wing authoritarians.
