Andor nails it — Many of Nazism's earliest supporters ended up in the camps. The man who wrote 'First They Came For' was an anti-communist Minister who cheered the incarceration of socialists. The poem is a warning about the dangers of supporting authoritarianism that you think works for you.

one of the great messaging victories of the conservative movement is how it, outside of nerds like me, successfully buried the fact that it was vocally anti-anti-apartheid

A massive assault on the first amendment is well underway. The GOP pretends to stand for free speech even as they take unprecedented steps to undermine it.
New, from me: you were told that the threats to free speech came from wokeness. Some compared it to Maoist China.
Now we are witnessing government power being used to silence dissent and censor ideas. Now we know what real society-wide chilling effects look like. 🧵

More clear evidence of the fascist tendencies if Trump and Musk. Judicial oversight of the executive branch is as fundamental to our constitution and democracy as it gets.

It's worth emphasizing the reality that whether you're looking at politics or a team at a company, leading through force is a bad strategy used by people without the strength, intelligence, or imagination to figure out something better.
Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Finally deactivated my X account. Couldn't bear seeing what that fascist POS had done to the platform I've found so useful for covering news in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. It mostly took me too long to leave because I kept waiting for some accounts to migrate here.

The genius of Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin is the visceral way it conveys the real impact of totalitarian dictatorship.
It's not that fear instills obedience.
It's that everyone is guilty by default, and only the usefulness of their crime determines whether or not they are punished for it.

Trump's open imperialist phase is such a tech bro thing - he comes up with the most idiotic ideas and opinions and acts like they are simple, easy and 100% guaranteed to work as advertised.
"One weird trick" mentality in action.
"Why didn't anyone think of this before? Because they were too woke!"
