Too often, Nazi Germany or Mussolini’s Italy are used as a reference for fascism.
And too soon, the U.S. (not just the historical Jim Crow police states) has the very real potential to join them as a reference. This is why we need to call a fascist a fascist right now.
As Aimé Césaire, the poet and anti-colonial theorist reminds us, fascism was “colonialist procedures … applied to Europe”.
Foucault’s Boomerang has a tendency to hit a lot of Niemollers in the head when they’re least expecting it and it’s too late.

The circle of life was the lions’ justification for why they got to kill other talking animals. The movie never really shows if any of the herbivores bought into it.

Well, some animals are more equal than others
(I am still baffled that people don’t get that Animal Farm is not even about communism - it’s about what happens when authoritarians wear communist drag. Which, sadly, is how it usually goes)

If you’re going to declare “F* that Crazy Republican!” be sure to encourage using protection. We don’t need any more of them running around.

Well, that, and also some of them are actual venereal diseases. You don’t want a case of antibacterial resistant Bannon

So long as someone is still able to live happily the way they want, it can get worse. So long as anyone is not, it can get better.

Does anyone else feel a bit weird agreeing with “Bloody Bill” Kristol? Strange times.

Luckily, it isn’t an inherited trait. As we will all be reminded at various holiday gatherings in the coming months.
