It is absolute super classic American that we’re not going to get forced or conquered into fascism or collapse into it in a depression or disaster. We’re going to run fucking headlong into it waving our arms.

Nah. Most will stay online spouting their theories versus working locally to make any actual change in their environment.

Fascism has better marketing than democracy does. The iconography is just generally superior. Never mind the color palette.

The ONLY redeeming thing about sliding into fascism is that a bunch of the needy eager hey-guys-can-I-help-too fascist-supporters will get liquidated early on, as usual. The Krassenstein brothers are DEFINITELY spending some time in a roadside ditch.

I hope I can negate a few of them on my way out and maybe put a few more into hellish misery. I’ve given up on winning—but that only increases my power to make at least one more of them lose. And which one it is will be a fun surprise to all of them.

It's just a steady collapse of democratic institutions and engagement, I think. Half of us, at least, have no idea how the government works, and if we did we'd be even more passed off.
