Ah yes, political ideology, a famously black and white topic, a switch that is either on or off. If you're not living in a right-wing totalitarian police state, then it's not *really* fascism, Tom says, because words don't matter and everything is made up.
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

(I left the LDS church a long time ago and there's little overlap in my current values with their doctrine, but I'm from an old Utah Mormon pioneer family, so I sometimes share things because most people's awareness of the Momos is skewed and usually totally out of context. Not an endorsement!)

While we're on the topic of Mormons, it was always funny to tell people outside Utah that I was ordained to the priesthood of Aaron as a deacon at age 12, a teacher at 14, a priest at 16, and ordained an elder in the "high priesthood of the holy order of God" at age 18.

I'll be honest, I wasn't really aware that there were Christian churches that did this for regular worship. Seems pretty un-Christlike! I grew up Mormon and you showed up at their chapel unprompted, they'd fall over with joy. Many negative things about that organization, this is not one of them.
If your church is turning away people who show up to your doors in good faith, you don't have a church. You have a very expensive book club with scarcely any wine.

I have reached the age/point in my career where parents post pictures of their kids who were youth performers in shows I've worked on, and it's, like, a photo of a whole-ass adult.

What’s the problem? We’re just displaying a historical fact that this person is a Jew by forcing them to wear a yellow star.
I spit on the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court, not that it can get much more degraded than it has already become by the repulsive actions of its disgusting GOP members.
You can hear the transphobic sneer in these words.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Actors Equity Association audition and hiring requirements result in a hiring hall-like system that discriminates against nonmembers and perpetuates de facto closed shops at theaters nationwide, encouraging problematic recruitment practices throughout the industry.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
