In Omelas, the prosperity of the city depended on tormenting one child. This was hidden, so nobody had to see the cost, but could if they desired.

"First they came for the CDC,
I didn't speak out
Because the institutions will stand
So they came for Treasury
And I didn't speak out
Because it can't fall
And next, FBI
And I said nothing
Because that can't happen
And now they come for me
But I'll tell them they can't
Because I'm in Congress."

Does he know that people did try to stir their classes and communities under Nazi Germany?
Bonkers? No. Brave, yes. Sacrificial? Hell yes.
"The enemy isn't the authoritarians. The enemy is the people calling them fascists prematurely." is a helluva take.

Why? Because trying to incite popular resistance in a fascist society is bonkers. It's just a way to bring the State - its cops, courts, mobs, etc - down on your head. Fascist states don't fall to revolution.
Under fascism, you want opponents to be hard to find, not parading around in frog suits./3

Please always remember that cops can legally nearly completely lie to you, and will.
Always remember that any topic they bring up is an attempt to get you talking. Even innocuous "You like tattoos?"

Israel is advancing a bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners. Right-wing leaders want to go even further and use the bill to give Israeli forces the authority to carry out extrajudicial killings.

Whatever elements of America aren't yet fascist, exist as such on paper.
Honestly, we can't even be sure that Congress or Court COULD take power back if they wanted to.
The Executive has the muscle, intel and tactical power.
Fuck's sake, he teases the Insurrection Act with a twinkle in his eye.

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
