The US army is turned on pro-democracy protesters. Israel wrecks Gaza unchecked. In NL a far-right politician just crashed the government over a big lie.
Time to call it what it is: this is fascism.

Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that.

“It is not unfair to hold anti-trans British feminists co-responsible for this agenda of the religious right. The historical record is very clear: American rightwing transphobia was only able to roar into life after the infusion of radical-feminist language, framing, support and vocabulary.”
