It's also interesting that we're only tangentially making the connection between shit social media and fascism. What we are not saying is that control of social space *is* a form of governance. Humans have the right to free social spaces, both physical and digital.
When we think about social media as a system of control, as a government, we see that capitalist social media results in incredibly abusive dictatorships. These dictatorships exist solely to exploit their citizens, extracting both labor and attention, for the gain of a few. They manipulate their citizens to keep them locked in. It's not a coincidence that these systems algorithmically promote fascist ideology. They are themselves a type of fascist government that pushes fascism into the physical space.

It's Interesting today that the popularization of @…'s concept of "enshittification" is leading us to really think hard about how various methods of vendor lock-in enable corporations to abuse users. We see how first there's lock-in then quickly abuse follows, and recognize that the only way out of this trap is to build systems where users can leave at will.
But it's interesting that in this time of rising fascism no one is making the connection to fascism, as both increased lock in and enshittification of government. And no one is making the connection between the need to make systems optional to avoid enshittification, and libertarian socialist arguments against the systemic lock-in (and following abuse) of capitalism and the state.

Folks demanding political / ideological purity
fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals.

That belief-as-identity phenomenon is also time-based. Somebody posted about those Young Republicans and their Telegram messages grooming and being groomed for fascism, and that’s right: it’s not just the existence of the fascist space; it’s the sustained process of drawing people in over time.

I just woke up from a dream. For every parent there is a time when, with shame, we have to explain how the world actually works... when they become a little too old to keep saying, "I'll explain it when you're older."
Amsterdam is full of reminders of the occupation, of the Holocaust. It's impossible to pretend there hasn't been a great evil here... One that's not in the past, but still very alive in the present.
At some point things will have to change because fascism can't last forever. It is a thing which necessarily contains its own downfall. We will, at that point, have an opportunity to make the world one that we can be proud to tell our children we created. We can stop short and reestablish the status quo that got us here, or we can build a world that we will no longer have to explain to each new generation in shame.
What would it look like?

Any sort of •actual• strength is a threat to that illusion. A real strongman makes the photo cut-out look cheap, laughable.
Say what you will about US imperialism and the military-industrial complex, but the military is truly full of people who possess actual strength and discipline and do extremely difficult jobs well. It is full of people whose daily life makes a mockery of fascism’s cartoonish masculinity. And — devastating!! — many of those people are women! brown people! Black people! with all kids of bodies! who look all kinds of ways! The existence of a competent military is a threat to fascism that must be contained for fascism to spread.

One of the many nightmare scenarios facing us is that
a badly led and mostly destroyed intelligence infrastructure
fails to prevent a major terrorist attack
and that attack is then used as justification to speed up the fascism.

Crazy things are happening in the US, the country is sliding towards autocracy/fascism.

It may be—for now—a "mild" form of fascism.
Political opponents aren’t being jailed or shot, entire opposition media outlets aren’t being shuttered, and books aren’t being burned.
But from Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James,
and so much else—this is no longer America.

The leaked Republican group chats were the final confirmation I needed, as they expose a party that openly admirers Nazism and idolizes Hitler. From this point on, I’m calling it what it is, a Nazi Party.

Oh hey, good things do happen even in the darkest times. Yarvin is taking about fleeing the country.
The thinks that Trump's fascism is failing (which it is) and tha Trump is incapable of doing what it takes to actually hold power. He's afraid of vengeance, which is honestly unlikely given how completely useless the democrats actually are. But I'm glad he's afraid. I hope he runs away to Russia, gets drafted and deployed to Ukraine, and eats a drone.
I also hope he can somehow convince Thiel to be afraid, but I think that's unlikely.
The fact is that if Trump fails, which I think he will (and Yarvin thinks it could be soon), it won't be because of Democratic leadership. It will be because of antifascist organizing and community resistence. We will have, once again, kept ourselves safe while the DNC argued over how much of their values they should abandon and how much of the left to sacrifice to "get votes."

Trump just said “we took the freedom of speech away.”
And our leaders are asleep at the wheel. 
I’m Liam Elkind.
I’m 26 years old and I’m running for Congress because Trump is inches away from becoming a dictator, and I’m pissed as hell. 
Any Democrat who’s not fighting this tooth and nail is complicit. I’ll use every tool in my toolbox to beat Trump’s fascism. 
But I need your help. Can you chip in any amount today so I can get to Congress and actually FIGHT fo…

Fascism dangles infinite impunity — inherently deserved, not earned — and the false promise of the fascist leader is that if you offer •him• that impunity, then •you• may share in it.
If the bully lets you stand next to him, that means you are strong…right?

Fascism disgusts me to my core, it corrupts everything it touches, it has no place on this earth, not now, not ever, and I will never stop rejecting it with every part of who I am.

A meme from "The Office" shows two photos: one of two men posing together, the other an old photo of military dictators. Below, a woman says, “They’re the same picture.”

Fascism offers them a “strong man” carnival photo cut-out where they get to put their face in the hole and take a selfie. They can tuck that selfie under their pillow at night, admiring their fake muscles in the photo and believing they are strong. It lets weak people play-act a strong person. It gives people with creeping feelings of worthlessness a magical sense of worth they don’t have to earn, just believe in.

The first thing I see when I log into YouTube temporarily on an incognito tab isn’t freedom, it’s ads for Disney and honestly, that’s not marketing… that’s fascism in high heels! 🤢

At Zohran Mamdani’s victory party at the Brooklyn Paramount on Tuesday night, Democracy Now! spoke with Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“We’re not going to be intimidated,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“We’re going to fight for working families. We’re going to stand with immigrants. We’re going to stand with the diversity of this city.”

#Fascism

Less than a week after copying a Joseph Goebbels speech to mythologize Charlie Kirk,
Stephen Miller is trying to gin up outrage because Gavin Newsom’s trollish Xitter account called him, accurately, a fascist.
Because Stephen Miller’s expression of outrage about the use of inflammatory language
— even the use of the word fascism
— necessarily involved Miller projecting his own actions onto someone else,
it led him to go on Hannity and confess he has been engaged…
