Decided to use substack to get some thoughts down on the march of fascism, some of its moving parts, how we define it in the modern context and any useful historical comparisons
Mostly for my own amusement but any critiques would be most welcome

Labour seem much more animated about the threat from the Greens than they are about the threat of brownshirts marauding around the streets intimidating minorities.
A festering abscess of a political party about to face a generation of irrelevance having paved the way for a Reform government.

The point of the ‘flood the zone with shit’ tactic is for people to become so confused and disgusted by the content they switch off and tune out of all media messaging!
That was clearly Musks ambition with Twitter!
Did people on the left take the easy way out by deactivating their accounts?

I’m glad the AFD wont be in power and its heartening to see a left wing party have some success but the fact that a fifth if the German electorate voted Neo-Nazi should be a wake up call to the left all across Europe.

Wait till November!
Thats when we’ll see real dissonance from these Nazi freaks!
We’ll have poppy fascists who are cheerleading fascist regimes screaming at us to wear a poppy in remembrance of the soldiers who died defeating fascism!
How do you engage with that level of incoherence?

Trumps AG announces they’re going to ‘look at’ the 2020 election to uncover any fraud.
The world is about to watch the US government rewriting history to say Trump won in 2020 & Jan 6 was a glorious day of patriotism.
And people still want to argue about whether they should be called ‘fascists’

If the Tories dehumanised the sick like this centrist libs would be in the streets with placards.

Thats shameful

I’ve heard you mention Bari Weiss a number of times in recent episodes.
Here she is fully on board Musks ‘The UK is a country of paedophiles’ bandwagon.
This was for sure a scandal of epic proportions but US commentators have been very thin on the facts.

Just because someone inherited enough wealth to become a billionaire, owns their own propaganda network and hasn’t known a second of precarity in their lives does not make them an ‘elite’!
Do those ungrateful maggots not comprehend what billionaires contribute to society?

Not sure if theres anyone out there who needs to hear it but if you’re struggling don’t give up!
The only thing i know for sure is that you cant do it alone, you need connection.
Every relapse kills a bit of your spirit, recovering restores it.
Love and solidarity!💚

Billionaires who use cheap labour, terrible working conditions, drain the planets resources, corrupt politics, cosy up to despots then blame immigrants for peoples material conditions deserve a special place reserved in hell.

We call it ‘vigilante justice’ when the justice takes place outside our state-defined concept of ‘the law’.
When the state is nut-deep in genocides, and corporations kill millions then why the fuck should individuals be the only ones expected to abide by ‘the law’?

It’s framed as ‘a time of giving’ but they mean a time of ‘buying’ and fuck you if you cant afford it.
And if you’re sick or disabled at this ‘time of giving’ you get to hear the country debating whether you deserve to be able to eat….
ho ho ho

The genocidal fascist ethno-state butchering children by the thousand, raping prisoners to death and burning families to death in tents who lie like Pinocchio on crystal meth?
