Saint Luigi deliver us from villains like Facebook

Oh yeah, I think that's part of the fascism standard set. Like first it'll be non-christians, and then catholics, and then the "wrong" kind of protestants.

There's some political cartoon that was like

Gay man pushing a trans person off a cliff. nazi smiling.

Gay man: "Glad we worked together to get rid of the trans menace! What next?"

nazi: [keeps smiling]

Gay man: [concerned expression]

nazi: [pushes gay man off the cliff, too.]

Side note: I hate how markdown doesn't do linebreaks unless you add two trailing spaces on the end of the line, or add a whole ass extra line break.

Conservatives tend to live in an eternal now- what's good for me now? This explains why they don't care about hypocrisy.

People act based on emotions, specifically feeling like they're part of the in-group. You know the old saying "Would you jump off a bridge if your friends all were jumping, too?" Well, the answer is clearly yes. Most people are stupid like that.

I mean, we all are sometimes. It's impossible to know and verify everything so we trust our friends. But for some people it's reached a toxic level of "vaccines are bad" and "banning books is good"

With violence, though a lot of spaces will tell you it's gauche to talk about violence. Stern words only.

Also, as a USian, even though my grandparents fought the Nazis the US was still garbage at home.

This is correct. They don't care. It's just in-groups to protect and out-groups to bind. It's "what's good for me right now?". There's nothing deeper.

By any reasonable metric they are bad people

Who would sleep with a conservative? I feel like the set of people who would sleep with conservatives doesn't overlap with the set of people who would be interested in this strike.

I think boycotting and the ... what do you call it.. where you do a bad job but like plausibly? Have long pointless meetings at work, make believable mistakes at work that gum things up. Like low grade sabotage, if you're working for or around the villains.

Spotify kind of sucks. I've been buying music from the musicians (mostly via Bandcamp) for years. Buying one album a month for like $8 means is cheaper than a subscription, and I now have a huge library of music.

Maybe. These aren't normal times and I feel like being neutral in the face of a rising tyranny when you have a big platform is collaboration.

You proud now MAGAts? Does this make you proud?

They don't care. All they care about is their in-group is strong and the out-group is punished. They're shitty people.

Trump is just the highly visible part of a whole cancerous growth. All of the right wing, with its "outgroups to bind and in-groups to protect" worldview, needs to go.
