you have to find balance. the holocaust survivors who taught me how to resist an authoritarian taught me you absolutely must rest, take time to take care of yourself and your family, and mourn your losses. but that period of rest must never be forever. you can't survive if you simply choose to wait it out. but you also can't survive if you break yourself fighting back early in the fight

This message should be sent to every US resident each morning.

everyone everymorning everywhere, tbh. even if your world does not feel authoritarian today, it can tomorrow with just one charismatic power hungry sicko. they export their allies when their form of fascism dies off in a place. the nazis survived via operation paperclip. the neoliberal fascists that defined the last era of the century in our country were sent to Ukraine to "help" them. when the era of MAGA ends, their mid ranking terrorists will go to some other humanitarian disaster inflicted by one of the imperial powers that exists as their neighbor. always the host country welcomes them gladly because they're on the brink of total devastation, but always these exports are snakes waiting to bite.

when we the people are finally free, it will be because our inheritors figured out what we could not: there is no useful nazi. war is how they survive. they convince you you must give them some amount of power to thwart their allies at your gates. the only true cure for nazism comes from rejecting them from society entirely and never allowing them to form their own elsewhere.

nazism is too dangerous to let survive.

You're right. Scarily. I can't forget that despite a recent (relative) win I can't stay complacent even as Canadian.

Nah, the problem with the residents of the US is most think they can rest forever and someone else will do thework.

It’s like running an engine at redline forever. It’s not sustainable. Something’s gotta give.

That's his exact plan. At some point you have to tune out and focus on your own life, and he'll still be there, just less visible and thus more dangerous.

As if there’s any way to escape his stupid ass. The least political things in the world are talking about him. He’s unavoidable and he likes it that way.

It’s more like the earpieces in Harrison Bergeron that keep you from having a complete thought.
