Conservatives had this whole bit about how their enemies have "low time preference" because of dyed hair somehow, but nothing characterizes fascists more than the impulsive need for revenge at any cost. The inability to empathize with your future self parallels an inability to empathize with others.

free association means you have to tolerate me associating with rapists but if you try to organize people to stop associating with me because i associate with rapists you are being oppressive and should be shunned

In political philosophy, a central insight of (small-r) republicanism is that a kind master is still a master, and that relationship itself makes the subject unfree. Same with the ultrarich. Counting on them to put the interests of society before their own myopic interests is playing with fire.

Raised on some libertarian economics, sure, you can see how it makes sense to allow dynamic capitalism to produce great wealth, but then redistribute the gains afterward. But in the MAGA era we have seen the Epstein Class marshal their vast resources in defense of fascism and corruption.

Now conservatives are launching an effort to overturn Obergefell using the terms "biological sex" and "biological parent" to argue that marriage equality is unnatural and against biology.The same will be applied to women's roles, that working or going to school is against their "biological sex."

Trans people were the proving grounds to normalize the made up term "biological sex"to roll back decades of progress on gender equality. When you get bioessentialist language, suddenly everything from gender roles to marriage becomes an argument about "biology."

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Yup. The Presidency, Congress, and Supreme Court don't truly reflect the will of the American people, but to anyone abroad, the simple fact is that all of these entities are totally fine with shattering our European allegiances to steal Greenland just for the heck of it. They're right to be pissed.
This man is talking about stealing a country at gunpoint from nations the US is allied with. Of course Europeans hate us. You would feel the same way if you were in their place. American voters put this man in power, he didn’t seize it this time.

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

The abolitionist movement was attacked for the prevalence of white women among their ranks (and had some vicious internal fights about whether to include or exclude them from abolitionist organizing).
Demonizing specifically white women who act in solidarity with racial minorities isn’t new. Here’s a southern political cartoon depicting Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1853. Surrounded by devils, she‘s holding a book titled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Subtitle: “I Love the Blacks.”
