I'll keep quietly pushing back on fascism here by stating things as simply and calmly as possible because rage and ignorance is too useful to these assholes.
In any case, fascists hate human rights because human rights get in the way of them exploiting a population for their own gain. #auspol

Yo, that pop up about the new terms of service, god damn.

Fascists are really good at ruining every little good or widely used thing and twisting it into a tool to push their vile agenda.
I loved TikTok, but I recommend getting rid of it ASAP.

One conversation I don't think the world is ready for is how rooted in Christianity white supremacy actually is. It's a large pillar in the foundation that built white nationalism. Purity of mind. Purity of being. Purity of body. Purity of culture and society. And missionaries went everywhere.
You don't have to be white to uphold white supremacy.
You can be a woman & a conduit of patriarchy.
You can be gay & still promote homophobia.
Several folks have done it before & it will continue. Usha Vance, Kemi Badenoch et al are where they wish to be. Power/proximity to power is a helluva drug.

“We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.”

The prologue of Kingdom Come: Deliverance is long (and replayable through Theresa's eyes) because Skalitz' peace and getting to know its townfolk is centered. So when one powerful person wipes out a silver mining village as a play against another powerful person you feel a fraction of Henry's loss.

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

Censorship doesn’t silence – it amplifies
Attempts to silence writers rarely erase them. More often, they expose insecurity, deepen division, and turn targets into symbols of resistance.
