Yes, It’s Fascism

Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

    I’m glad you got there eventually. Keep listening closely to the people who told you this years ago, they are clearly more perceptive than you.

      It was literally fucking YEARS of me dealing with variations of “he’s not a fascist! He’s just an impotent wannabe dictator, we’ll be fine. You’re overreacting!” from acquaintances and family. Not friends, I don’t have friends that stupid.

      I will stand arm in arm with every person who mocked me for “being a worrier”, not just because it’s the only way out of this, but because it’s the best way, maybe the only way, to build a better future.

      With that having been said, I hope each and every one of them gets a terrible case of genital lice at some point in their lives.

        An impotent wannabe dictator is a fascist lmaoooo. That is some wild level of cope. “ he is not a fascist. He is just a fascist light. It will be fine.”

          I know! It’s like “She’s not an abuser. She hits me when she’s frustrated, but it’s not too hard and doesn’t usually leave a bruise. It’s just rough housing.” This actually was said to me last week. Mind fucking blown.

          Once we give the impotent wanna be dictator, a little more power it will be fine! If I didn’t know people, I wouldn’t think this was real
