"Let's point out the hypocrisy of the fascists for the thousandth time. Then, we'll use logic to explain reality to those who have rejected logic for a decade. Then, we'll appeal to the virtues, morality, and ethics of those who have never once displayed any of those traits.
That'll surely stop the fascist coup in its final hour."
— American "liberals"
I swear, at this point it's hard to tell who is more brainwashed and mentally ill. The fascists who reject reality, or the antifascists who reject reality; refusing to accept that the fascists are too mentally ill to be reasoned with.
I 100% agree with what you said, but please don't equate fascism to a mental illness, it's offensive to people suffering from actual illnesses.
Fascists aren't like that because of an illness they can't control, they are simply cowardly bullies that chose to behave like that.
Oh shut the fuck up. Being fucking offended over that while fascism is here. Weak shit. Knock it off.
Nah it’s just ableism. Be better.
And you are doing, what, exactly? Other than giving lessons in smug superiority?
Come on. Inspire us.
Why would you ask that question? If they really are doing something they shouldn’t fucking tell you what it is. Are you an idiot or a cute fascy playing pretend?! Use your fucking brain.
I'm not American; just a foreign ally who would've already bought a gun and learned how to use it a decade ago, if I were American, because MAGA has been a fascist evangelical mental illness fuelled by billionaire propaganda the entire god damn time.
But maybe organise protests outside the homes of every Republican politician 24/7? Don't let them sleep and make them feel the terror they are bringing to the people?
Maybe spend your time building lists of who the fascists are, where they live, and how high-profile they are? Maybe study methods of guerrilla warfare and insurgency? Maybe join local antifascist militias and learn how to securely communicate, including in case of when the fascists nuke the internet and energy grid?
Maybe spend your time preparing for when the mass murder starts? Have a plan of meaningful resistance, then execute it if/when all else fails.
Because I can tell you right now, the tens of millions of mentally ill Americans are impossible to de programme. They've chosen fascism, and they won't abandon it without being brought to their knees. Trying to reason with insanity is nothing more than wasting your breath.
Your countries signed on with palantir, too. You should be helping us because you don’t have any guns to fight what is coming to you.
If we fall, you're all easy pickings.
You have to know that.
Why do you think I'm here? If American antifascists fail to remove the cancer, it will destroy the lives of millions/billions abroad. Whether or not fascist tyranny appears in my country/city is mostly dependent on whether or not American antifascists overthrow American fascists, including oligarch operatives like Thiel and Musk. Palantir is an integral part of the fascism American corporations/oligarchs are exporting, along with most intelligence/surveillance tech, economics, politics, big tech, media, and social media.
How do YOU propose foreigners help? I've already shifted my investments and purchases away from American corpos and USD. I've already canceled all subs and transitioned as much away from big tech as I can at this stage. I've already donated hundreds to Ukraine. I already spent a large chunk of my life refuting both fascists and anti-fascists with stats, facts, and logic on social media. I realised that none of it mattered many years ago, because the fascist oligarchy own the networks and algorithms.
The hardest part has been convincing American "liberals" that they aren't in the big club they think they are, and that the "moderate whites" — neoliberals and "traditional" conservatives — will not protect or defend them from fascism, just like MLK documented over 60 years ago.
