One minute you’re doing the downward dog, the next you’re listening to conspiracy theories about Covid or the new world order. How did the desire to look after yourself become so toxic?
I mean… That seems like an argument for equipping people with better literacy skills given that any competent reading of 1984 would turn you away from fascism.
I don’t know man, with how misused the term is these days, not trusting the government is fascism. And a proper reading of it certainly gives you a distrust of the machine.
You should check out the cottage-core tradwife trend going around. Some extremist Christians are doing the “going off grid” and “back to our heritage” thing on social media.
I think anything can be twisted into a pipeline to fascism if prominent people within a community are pushing it. Let’s take My Little Pony for example. You would think that would be the last place for fascism to foment, but there are certain communities online that have pushed it in that direction.
What isn’t a pipeline to facism?
Libraries!
Plenty of fascists got their start reading 1984 and distrusting the news.

That absolutely is not fascism. Stop listening to bullshit that’s designed to piss you off and drive a wedge between you and others.
The term isn’t becoming more misued; more people are accurately fitting the definition.
I said libraries, not books!
Antifascism? I hope?
You’d think so, but I knew a guy
Ironically, antifa is fascism. Its like they lack self awareness.
Elaborate.
Well, go down the list of what makes fascism fascism, and they meet like 80 to 100% of them, depending on what list you use.

… an almost infinite number of things?
I’ll start.

Some of them are doing this and then freezing to death with their whole shitty family.
Somepeople think being a tradwife is fascism, and that would include knitting socks.
Love and acceptance?

The way people define fascism today? Everything is fascism. It’s fascist for you to even ask this!
Not really.
People use “fascism” when they mean “authoritarian”. But that’s not a fun Italian word with Hitler connotations.
They mean fascism.
