Here to help people understand, process, and survive fascism. Maintained by a former independent union president and forever punk that has probably spent waaaaay too much time studying fascism, its rise and fall, and how to navigate and survive the chaos.
One event, just one, that is not even necessarily terrorism but that could successfully be framed as such. That is what they are looking for.

Steve Bannon is a deus vult wacko. He wants that war. And they all want an excuse to declare martial law.

Many Americans barely consider the homeless citizens to begin with, or even worthy of rights, least of all the fascists.

They'd go after the vulnerable, legal or not. Not that laws matter to them. End birthright citizenship, they can put anyone into a concentration camp.

The goal is fear, control.

Concentration camps are only a preview of the horrors to come. There is only one ending accomplished by such things: Genocide. War.

And if you think you're safe as a citizen, you're not. When they run out of one 'other', they choose another.

Damn the laws that allow such things to exist.

Do whatever you have to do to accomplish that. When concentration camps and genocide is on the horizon, damn the law that allow them to exist.

Do whatever you must to live.

Just because you're a citizen doesn't mean you're safe. And if you're rightly asking yourself "What can I do?"

What all survivors do. Run to safety. Or fight.

Each person chooses their own war. Running is often the prelude to fighting.

Take care of your family, take care of yourself.

They (they being the many, many people who could shed more light on the wonky vote counts) won't do it. They should, considering how fucked the numbers are. But they won't.

We tried threatening you to encourage you to quit. Now we're offering financial incentives since so many of you are unionized. Either way, we really, really need you to quit so that it costs us less money and effort in lawsuits to destroy democracy. Pwetty pwease?

Learn to tell the difference. Status quo in a fascist gov serves the oppressor. But moderates will often insist on peace when only hatred and righteous insistence of liberty is warranted.

The illusion of security was always just that, an illusion.

Everybody likes to talk like protest this, protest that. Revolution this, revolution that.

But no revolution survives if its proponents starve.

And fascism excels in deny people basic needs and making them desperate enough to depend on the state.
