This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

this is such an important thing to recognize and call out
the fascism is mostly done being nice at this point, but it got here through well dressed men politely asking questions while the rest of us were scolded for pointing out where those questions led

Great way to describe standing in a deep hole I guess
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

An easy way to gain clarity on political issues is to remember that Conservativism as an ideology is incapable of being sincere about anything but their hate. You can talk to individual Conservatives in isolation like people - but the movement as a whole is a rabid animal you can't compromise with.

So I need to break this down in a simple point by point list, because people misunderstand me too much when I say that the "woman disguises as a man" trope is often antitransmasc, so let's examine the specifics!
Someone: This story features a woman who crossdresses as a man!
Me: Testosterone could fix him.

The most important time to share and talk about the things that make you happy is when things are going bad. Wallowing in despair won't help you, and it won't help you help others when it becomes necessary. Hope and happiness don't come from nothing, we have to create and share it.

A couple years ago, I was talking a lot about board games and comics and my dog and kayaking and now every time I post about anything but the upcoming apocalypse, I feel like I am being an utter doofus.
We still have to post about happy stuff sometimes, right?

Overcome, always
And above all, you let life defeat you. All the gifts your parents gave you, all the love and patience of your friends, you drowned in a neurotoxin. You let misery win. And it will keep on winning till you die -- or overcome it.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?
