    Authoritarian bullshit is the same whether it comes from the left or the right. They just want to protect their own positions of power by maintaining a big enough crowd to protect them and carry them wherever they want to go. When the crowd gets even a little bit unruly, they all act the same way.

    Like Gandhi whoever the fuck originally said: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
