Fascism isn't a disease. Fascism isn't a disability. Fascism isn't a lack of education. Fascism isn't foreign.
Fascism is a defence of established power and privilege through the dehumanisation of anyone that challenges it.

equating socially constructed with not real is such a frustratingly common thing
it implies that things can only be real if they have the approval of an authority figure that sits above humanity

Because they still believe they are the moral center and "good." Which is what whiteness has reinforced in them. They really believe the hype of all that and that they get to be those arbiters of all if we just get behind them.

Seriously how are these white middle class people antifascist when they can't be normal with Black people & they can't even look at, let alone help, people with less? I call bull on the American "collective" coopting antifascism to get back to a world where they'll always be on top, crushing others.

under puritan hegemony the only understandable/valid 'left' position is to chop the kings head off and install yourself as tyrant instead
so much work goes into perpetuating and reinforcing it

I made a little wreath of oak and willow and elder and hazel and gave it to the river to celebrate the solstice.
I don't follow a formal tradition but I find connecting with nature helps me to keep my own head together and it just felt like a nice thing to do.

When intelligence is defined as logic disconnected from human experience then all code is intelligent
When technology is assumed to be ontologically Good then any criticism of any element must mean rejecting the whole
I can see how these conflations arise
They're still fucking annoying though

do you think all computer code is AI?

Imagine, if you will, royal courtiers opining on who has the common touch behind 12ft palace walls while the peasants starve.
On the News Agents, a listener asks how Starmer comes across so inauthentic when they’ve heard that he drinks 6 pints at Arsenal games & comes home to dinner sober. Jon & Lewis agree that ironically, in a world that demands authenticity, voters simply do not believe how normal he is

people are so shocked that eugenics was, and still is, normalised because of the normalisation of the assumption that what is normal must be Good
eugenics is Bad so it must only be associated with the abnormal Other
it's fractal

1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!
