MODERATORS
They have upgraded to full on fascism. Starting up culture wars, blasting propaganda to convince the country that a small group of a protected class is the root of all US problems. I’m tired of history being made in my lifetime.
And the worst part is the only progress we may see for the rest of our lives is getting back to where we were before facism took over. America is shit.
By every metric the USA is a failed-state.
It's a global epidemic. That's why it's our responsibility to stomp out fascists and refuse their platform at every opportunity.
Dan Savage pointed out in his podcast yesterday that in interwar Berlin, lgbtq-whatever-else-we-add-now people were more free than any time since probably ancient Rome before the Christian period.
It took about 3 years of Hitler in power to start shipping those people off to the camps. They still haven't really recovered.
“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” -Antonio Gramsci (who died in a literal Fascist prison)
I know who Gramsci was. I don't understand what you're getting at with that quote.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
