Washington DC is crime ridden, sure, and my sleepy rural town is extremely low crime rate, yes (pls ignore the skinhead militias in the hills, the out of state millionaires chopping up main st, and the fentanyl flowing between the two)

If you think about fascism, from the perspective of a fascist leader who is also something of a Machiavellian sensible knave, the real problem always facing fascist movements is likely communication.
It is not hyperbole to note that Trump America is therefore poised to topple democratic hegemony.

they are deploying the threat of violence against imagined fears so that if they have to fight a real fear, nobody will question the extremity of their violence
but power does not do this unless it is afraid to be fought; it not say "we cannot lose" unless it can lose

What even is the most sincere attempt at cogent "trans rights aren't real"? Everything currently truly does reduce to appeals to authority or naturalistic fallacies.
They can quibble and quisling all they want against OUR arguments -- and sometimes, their criticism IS true. But anyone can do that.

"Your Party" IS publicly stating policy priorities. They wouldn't if these weren't "non-negotiable." If they'd omitted action on climate change or ending arms to Israel, supporters of those wouldn't automatically join up.
How hard is it to say, "universal human rights, including for LGBT+ people?"

![From Wikipedia entry on "Your Party" found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Party_(UK)
Ideology and policies
There will be an inaugural conference to decide the party's policies, but in a joint statement on the launch website,[35] Corbyn and Sultana mentioned wealth redistribution, nationalisation, investing in social housing and opposing the privatisation of the National Health Service. The party is also expected to call for an end to the sale of arms to Israel, action against climate change, and protection of the right to protest.[12]
Following the launch, Corbyn also stressed a focus on grassroots organisation.[12] A former Labour councillor, Amna Abdullatif, stated that support for the Gaza Strip will be central to the party.[36]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xwvc4eo4yxtfc3wrpex5vavy/bafkreieezvsq23yxuab5lc6y2iujunutzvngkyjek5pnvs4rl3gea3t2iq@jpeg)

"skulk" is the perfect word I think for the current brand of "the good ones" among liberal progressives
they skulk about the middle ground between liberalism and progressivism, careful not to anger liberals, simultaneously blaming progressives and leftists, but then wringing their hands about it

It is easier to say that the minority defended themselves badly, than it is to attack the oppressor from whom you benefit
I do not see any moral clarity in differentiating between the people who know they participate in this and those who do it inadvertently

I have a solution for ppl who want to go fast.
Certified drivers licenses allotted to trained professionals.
They drive around the city in a set pattern to the most needed social hubs.
In large vehicles, meant to be occupied by many people, instead of avg of 1/car.
Idk what to call it tho

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.
(15 in Manhattan btw)

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.
