I guess we can add Andrew Doyle to the list of self-important fuckwits who want to pretend that aligning themselves with a far-right hate group is normal.

"Legitimize an illegitimate attack against the arts" is some really, really entitled stuff. It won't surprise you to learn that the author of this nonsense has a degree in Anthropology that she has somehow convinced herself entitles her to be called a journalist.

"You all don't get it. The only way to stop fascism is to elect the political party that has spent the entire second Trump term aiding and abetting fascism."
Only our oppressors can save us, apparently.
I know it's en vogue for mediocre Americans to abandon critical thought, but this is pathetic.

Unfortunately in this moment we have zero choice. We don’t show up we get fascism. Simple as that. It’s the easiest choice there has ever been yet people won’t see it that way unless something happens within the inept party. We might just deserve all this as we can never get out of our own way.

On one hand, it's pretty disgusting to suddenly force ads like this, especially onto people who had previously purchased the product.
On the other hand, if you're the type of person to drop $3,500 on a "smart refrigerator," then maybe you deserve this?

No wonder replies are turned off on this miserable attempt to feign rationalism. You can safely ignore any ghoul who demands you abandon your own values and embarce theirs, bc they would never do the opposite

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.
