I think Americans fawning over party-state systems because they see a couple of rich people being arrested without understanding any of the context need to calm down a bit, because a party-state is exactly what the Republicans are going to give you if you're not careful

Bracing analysis of the rise of the far-right in Germany: "there are widespread right-wing extremist networks within the security services, the police, and the armed forces. Europe-wide networks of fascists are operating unhindered. Something is brewing. If we don't react now, it will be too late."
»Wir haben vor der AfD gewarnt, als sie am Horizont auftauchte. Keine Reaktion. Im Gegenteil – ihre Vertreter:innen saßen in jeder Talkshow, bevor die AfD auch nur ein einziges Landtagsmandat hatte. Mit dem Erfolg, dass sie nun eine einflussreiche Partei ist.« www.blaetter.de/ausgabe/2024...

All forms of hierarchy and authority needs be destroyed.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I feel like that there is a double standards in fantasy where you can have many slightly different variants of elves or dwarfs, but soon as you do it for furries then it suddenly becomes a problem. Feels like blatant hypocrisy to me

Anarchy anywhere is a threat to tyranny everywhere.
Authoritarians know this.
It is why they are so desperate to crush it, because once again Anarchists are growing, Anarchism flourishes in the corpse of empires.
