Technically, every religion has it’s extremists. Blaming the religion robs these assholes of agency; they’d be like this if they were athiests.

Why is this fascism? Seems like good old fashioned religious intolerance and violence.
Which, let’s be honest, tends to be best buddies with fascism…
The people who can stop this are sufficiently privileged that they don’t feel they’ll be affected by Trump, and/or they hate paying taxes more than theyre worried about fascism.
They’re also oblivious to history, both recent (Nazi Germany and the Night of the long knives) and modern day (Putin’s Russia, and the fate of oligarchs who crossed him)
Meanwhile, the Americans have legalized murder in politics.
“We clearly haven’t made the working class desperate enough yet. Let’s have immigrants and students fight over jobs to make everything even nastier!”
I’m sure this won’t in any way result in a huge cohort of angry underemployed young people. No siree.
I’m also starting to think that businesspeople aren’t the Galtian ubermenchen that they think they are, given that they by and large can’t plan more than six months in advance.
“Going to be”?
Do they?
Because their actions imply otherwise.
We’ve even had an “Evil must be opposed!” moment.
So, robots blasting each other in the face, body horror and reckless child endangerment is “meh, whatevs?” but this gets censored.
Oookaaay, BBC.
On a side note, Earthspark is such a neat show. The sound and visual design is fantastic, the voicework is top notch and the animation is really well done. There’s a series one episode where the Seekers are attacking Prime and Megatron and it’s just pure visual poetry.
I’m afraid that homelessness is going to follow the path of addiction: that it won’t even be recognized until white ex-urban people are affected by it, and even then the measures that will put in place will be too little, too late and too worried about the cost on the rich to do much for the poor.
Gee, maybe you should have spent more time improving the lot of everyday people and less time playing footsie with billionaires?
A lot of neoliberal erstwhile-progressives are about to find out the consequences of selling out their principles for a seat at the rich kids’ table.
Most of Europe’s already found this out, Biden and Trudeau are looking at the same thing, and I expect Starmer will be out on his ass after four years of failing to help the poor and middle class, as he’s so busy right now assuring everyone that he’s not a socialist like Corbyn.
All those gains that were made in the 2010s? We’re at real risk of losing them as corporations try and triangulate their way to maximum revenue.
After Anheueser Busch welched, the right smelled blood in the water.
The progressive left is going to need to fight very hard and make a lot of allies because we’re so very close to snapping back to the 1990s, if not the 1950s.
How about we just around kneecapping billionaires, instead?
So, money is speech, is pollution speech too?
Sometimes you get a 63-leaf clover, sometimes you get Gojira.
do the Liberals have any good options to turn things around?
Quit the party and vote NDP.
A liberal is a conservative whose privilege hasn’t been challenged yet.
I’d like to see them lose so badly that Sinn Fein has more representation.
Yes. Because as we’ve seen, sunlight is not a good disinfectant for this kind of thing. Because “sunlight” results in these ideas can get visibility and by association, traction.
Naziism needs to be stomped on whenever, wherever and however it sleazes out from the sewer. Karl Popper made this very clear.
