FINALLY got my Graze feeds into a good working place, so pretty excited about that! I have 3 political feeds to choose from. News is just news and the idea that it isn't just a firehouse, but a reason pace and should be a good spread of information. 1/2
Been checking out the @fotoapp.co and am really enjoying it so far!

The thing about fascism is that a significant chunk of people who obey in advance do so not out of fear, but eagerness: they perceive in the fascist regime their chance to settle cultural scores, regardless of costs
External threats aren't behind the white revanchism on display in media companies. They're doing this because they felt pushed into "diversity hiring" by the 2020 uprising and the "changing cultural moment" gives them the excuse to roll back the clock. They're doing this because *they* want to

1. Protests are happening literally every day these days. Trans rights protests. Protests against Musk. Heck, over a thousand people showed up for a protest at the Treasury.
I advise everyone, especially people who don't usually, to find any of them and just go to one.
It's important.

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.
