If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

The whole point of designating a non-organasation as a terrorist organisation is that you can now just arrest anyone you want and say they're a terrorist. If your job is to arrest Antifa then anyone you arrest is Antifa by definition and there's no question of pesky evidence of actual membership.

Genuinely, you don't hate fascism enough.

MAGA are currently doing a hyper version their usual thing re Kirk's words, i.e. denying he said what he said while also celebrating him for saying it. You have to understand: this tactic is fundamental to the Right. "I like this. This is correct and good. Also, it never happened."

One of the left's most frustrating optics failures is its clear obsession with optics. Aside from ultra-leftists, the left self-moderates so much that to be a "communist" amounts to being a liberal who hates themselves for it; for it, we alienate fewer people while attracting almost none.

Another really disturbing tendency I see among liberals is the assumption that full fascism can be defeated by moderate fascism. This is absurd. If we grant fascist premises, why should we not expect fully fascists conclusions to follow?

Easily the most disturbing attitude I see many on the left adopting right now is the idea that fascism can be stopped by not invoking its ire. That's not how fascism works; fascists don't spare the weak but hold them in contempt. Not fighting back only teaches fascists what they can get away with.

Most governments have a policy of not negotiating with terrorists because you don't want to give terrorists an incentive to KEEP doing terrorism. The problem with fascists is that they're terrorists and liberals are ideologically committed to negotiating with these terrorists as often as possible.

Cross-resharing, much less from Tumblr, is rarely something I do, but I saw this sappy thing about transfem feelings and getting over the self-deprivation that egg life was and it kinda hit me, so now y'all have to see it too: www.tumblr.com/planetarytra...

America does not have a booming economy. It has the same permadepression but with a bubble on top; a mirage of credit and deregulated finance capital; the same secular stagcline of profit rates from the 70s is still operating. This is why US monopoly capital is flirting with fascist dictatorship.

It frustrates me how liberals, and many leftists, respond to conservative critiques of the direction culture is taking by defending the object of their critique rather than by putting forward a more compelling alternative. Leftists' willingness to defend the cultural status quo is genuinely odd.

In 2003, the UK legalized marital rape, by every measure a greater threat to women than the mere existence of trans people, but we should resist the temptation to attack statements such as Rowling's below as hypocritical. We should instead see them as revealing the speaker's true values.

It's frustrating how many leftists will recognize that marginalized voices have historically forewarned against impending fascist violence more broadly, only to minimize our concerns when we speak up...

Fascists can't appreciate satire of fascism for the same reason radicals can't take movies like 300 seriously. Fascists and radicals have diametrically opposed value frameworks and we interpret art accordingly. Fascists aren't "missing" anything in games like Helldivers 2; they perceive differently.

It's very telling that, in their desperate bid to bribe the British public into letting them cling to power a little longer, the Tories zoomed straight in on policies designed to punish and torture young people. The British reactionary lizard brain seethes with fear and hatred of the young.
