The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

if you arent fighting fascists then the fascists are winning. im happy to fight in any way possible so fascism doesnt win.
I hear from folks a big hurdle in this method is the urge to feel like the "good guys" & playing crass games compromises "our principles" the then why should ppl trust "us" over "them". They don't like thinking the ends justify the means. Thoughts?

You can read it here; the government accuses Maduro of benefiting from trafficking cocaine, not fentanyl. And yet the line is that he is responsible for tens of thousands of fentanyl overdoses. It's up-is-down stuff www.justice.gov/opa/media/14...

The work of defeating fascism is not limited to defeating Trump. It is not going to be a one-and-done thing, and we should all know this now because WE DID IT ONCE and look where we are now!

It's fucking easy to say "oh Trump is insane" or "oh it's because he's X" or "oh it's because he's Y" because then you don't need to grapple with the reality: we have so many fascists right now because the conditions in this country allowed fascism to flourish.

On this day 5 years ago, Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection.
His supporters stormed the Capitol, injured police and desecrated the halls of our government.
Today, the dangers of allowing an oath-breaking insurrectionist to return to power could not be clearer.

Curtis Yarvin has written a very long screed in defense of his post in which he said, “Hitler spoke the truth.”
A sampling of select portions is below and includes, in reference to Jewish people, the words:

While we bungled Trump's challenge to democracy I think it's crucial to understand that it doesn't end with his person. The base of the Republican party will demand Trumpism after he's gone too--there won't be pro-democracy Republican politicians. How do we plan to handle that

Not only did the man who had tried to nullify the results of a democratic election and incited a violent insurrection return to power without ever being held accountable. He also signaled to the nation that those who commit political violence in his name would be protected and revered.

That is not how the story has played out, obviously. Instead, those who were nominally tasked with defending democracy and the rule of law proved unable and/or unwilling to hold the line, accommodating extremism instead. A pervasive, system-wide failure.

In this scenario, the constitution would have actually been applied to Donald Trump: No longer would his impunity have been justified by exceptionalizing him – for fear of backlash, or because of a self-defeating assumption that Trump was the tribune of “real America.”

There was, right after the Insurrection, one possible future scenario in which the attack on the Capitol could have played a crucial role in galvanizing the pro-democracy forces, in getting more people to grapple honestly with the anti-democratic radicalization of the Republican Party.
