just wait until your country willfully cedes power to a fascist dictator…

inb4 “it’ll never happen,” etc

that’s exactly what everyone in the states said

fucking reprehensible

there’s no way some of them (or lots of them) aren’t already on it

s6e3 ‘man of the people’ 16:50

a lot of things have to happen, including but not limited to strong leadership in opposition to the fascism, and the fascists being removed from power. the only positive thing i can think of is trump is a disgusting unhealthy slob and can’t live forever, no matter how many people he kills

killing our constituents to own the libs

But actually, he thought as he re-adjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connexion with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connexion that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. For example, the Ministry of Plenty’s forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at 145 million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than 145 millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot. And so it was with every class of recorded fact, great or small. Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain.

the next step is to make it a felony to distribute any banned materials–“distribute” meaning whatever tf they want it to mean in the moment. let someone see the thing? distributing. tell someone about the thing? distributing. own the thing? distributing.

fuckin aye

people need to stop trying to debate with these chuclefucks

it needs to be:

maga - “you’re murdering babies!!!”

normal people - “shut the fuck up”

yo mama so dumb she gave herself whiplash at a flashing red light

not every problem

edit: but also, excuse me, but fuck that shit. people have been screaming about trump’s corrupt fascism for YEARS. we’ve sued. we’ve peacefully protested.

exactly what do you suggest? more of the same stuff that’s accomplished nothing?

the fact that you’re criticizing the not-fascism position instead of the FASCISM position says a lot

same. add to that, that everyone i try to talk to about this would rather pretend it’s somehow going to get better, or that somehow “the law” will catch up to these fascists and stop them in their tracks.

i guess we’ve been conditioned to believe that the bad things will just go away if we just say ‘this is fine’

the protests are a noble effort. but they’ve done nothing

there are too many people actively cheering these concentration camps

LOL see my comment in that thread

it’s getting harder and harder to comment anything about trump without saying something that would get me banned

denial is a powerful weapon. along with propaganda, gaslighting, state controlled media, money-- all things deployed to make the average, normally decent human being witness the atrocities going on around them and say “i mean, this is america. we wouldn’t allow masked men to kidnap people for no reason” as they watch their literal american citizen neighbor getting kidnapped, imprisoned, deported. murdered. for no reason

how much money do young americans have to blow on video games? people are struggling. is it really surprising that, as disposable income vanishes, so does recreation spending?
