I mean… even Hitler’s Brownshirts started wearing numbers to indicate their rank and unit.
In 1928.
Accountability aside, perhaps the American Sturmabteilung are being reassured that there’s no Night of the Long Knives coming as long as they keep murdering people.

The only reason you go to the mattresses to keep the masks on is because you know people are gonna find pardoned J6ers and guys on those sex offender lists who couldn't get jobs elsewhere amongst the ranks

This has been the only thing I’ve been wondering about the Dublin Central by-election: if memory serves, there have been only two elections (the 2009 by-election and 1997 election) since 1987 that didn’t have Mary or her dad running in Dublin Central.

FF’s Mary Fitzpatrick has ruled herself out of the Dublin Central by-election. The senator, who has run in that constituency for the last five general elections, has written to FF members saying she wants to see out her term in the Seanad. Cabra-Glasnevin councillor John Stephens now likely to run.

The first big fascist wave in Germany and Italy was driven by the humiliation and suffering of WW1. Our current wave of American fascism is largely driven by rich guys who want it to be illegal for you to laugh at them.
the fact that they saw Polanski as not being punished despite fleeing to France -- the fact that his social circle did not hold him accountable -- finally makes me understand why the elite media is insane about left activism at elite colleges: nothing anyone else can do to them matters.
