You cannot reason with a fascist. You can’t endear yourself to a fascist. They will turn on everyone, including their own family, their allies, their sycophants and collaborators.
Fascists hate themselves and they hate the world. This doesn’t stop unless it is stopped.

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

Social media is supposed to be a place where you can talk about things you like with people who also like those things. Where did this idea come from that it's supposed to be a freaking battle royale? "Humans need to argue." What?
Apparently it’s weird when you don’t want to spend your whole day arguing with randoms.
