    because white supremacist Christian nationalism is being ushered in via far-right populist rhetoric. fascism is utilizing the angry and bigoted, the angry and misguided, and the angry and fearful.

          Nothing is being orchestrated. The “left” is sitting comfortably at home, posting on Lemmy and Reddit about how upset they are, then planning their weekend activities.

            Well, partly true. For example, this week I spent planning a weekend range trip for myself, and several comrades. There will be a stop the bleed class hosted at the beginning of it, before pew pews start.

            Next weekend, planning a comrade and camping trip, where we will get to practice things like unit movement tactics (For hunting, of course!), living communally, and prepping a parcel of land for the possible need to house several dozens of people for an extended period.

      Another strip, on how fascists manufacture create fake crises as excuses for their seizure of more power, would also be instructive.

    He’s not. Only about a third of America are MAGA, they just make a LOT of noise. They can elevate him to martyr status in their own little alternative reality universe, but the ACTUAL reality that 2/3 of America, and the rest of the world, and the entire rest of the universe lives in, is under no obligation to indulge their perverse little fantasies.

    Fair chance it’s because the Imperial States of America is a far-right fascist nation?

    Forcing their cultish beliefs on us is one of the ways that they know they’re powerful.

    We should be rejecting their false idols as soon as they put them up. I’ll boycott any business that pays homage to that grimy little Nazi and will do my best to destroy any public monument to him and his pig beliefs.
