"dont vote for the fascist" the red one or the blue one?

the one that wants to completely overturn the democratic system idk. think with your fucking brain lol this is not the “gotcha” you think it is. i fucking hate joe biden but i also don’t want republicans to start project 2025 and make my existence illegal 👍

#i hate anti-vote people thinking theyre doing something #all ur doing by refusing to vote is saying ur ok with trump winning and for the maga ‘reforms’ the gop wants to put in place #like the concentration camps and mass deportation they want to start for latino and muslim immigrants #further restrictions on bodily autonomy #go actually read project 2025 and tell me that both parties are equally bad #i fucking hate joe biden but if you think we are living under fascism now you’re objectively incorrect

People being touchy about Roman potentially fucking Mencken are just...I don't get it. Because literally everyone around Roman except Shiv is aiding and abetting him in becoming president. And Matsson - Matsson is a technocrat who talks about his workers like they're slaves. He and Roman were never going to be your cutesy little harmless OTP, laying people off on their anniversary for fun. Like...you're falling for the window dressing. There is no "the fascist" on Succession because everyone seems to think they benefit from what Mencken is bringing to the table as the potential leader of the United States. And even Shiv didn't really care whether or not they kept Ravenhead. Oh, he puts Shiv and Tom off their lunch, but Tom is happy to keep the nazi on board as long as he brings in ratings and keeps Tom in power.

But, like...keep clinging to that false sense of morality about the terrible rich people show, I guess? This is where it was always going. These people have worn their funny little masks for long enough - s4 is the big reveal. Mencken or no Mencken, the mentally of the billionaire elite always leans towards fascism because fascism is the only way that they can maintain complete control of the populace and hold onto their own wealth.

#like...it really grinds my gears that people are seriously like no but Mencken is the actual bad one #everyone else is...what? a proponent of a fair democracy? more pleasant because they aren't pushing the truth in your face? #this is how fascism creeps in people refuse to name it until it names itself #all the show had to do was call Mencken a fascist and suddenly all of the other characters are not that #that doesn't make sense Mencken isn't anyone there are a hundred people who could be Mencken #the point is without certain structures in place they cannot gain power and Waystar Royco is the structure #they put the gas in the car and now he's off to the races #don't deluded yourself here its important #jeryd mencken #roman roy #succession

Definitely one of the funniest artistic movements in terms of doing this

#logxx #I also love the definitely not biased Wikipedia article on futurism #Which refuses to identify Italian futurism with fascism and very obviously skirts rhe politics associated w Italian futurism #As much as possible #While also no reference to the actual policies of fascist Italy on art... #But then spends half of its section on Russian futurism talking about how the Soviets were sooo mean to them and they all killed themselves #When the Soviet relationship to Russian futurism was p similar to the Fascist Italian relationship to Italian futurism #That is to say. It was at one point popular. Then it wasn't.

one small thing that bugs me about disco elysium is the lack of Fantasy Jews. i mean every setting that creates analogues of real world cultures tends to forget about us (i am generously overlooking when they make us into goblins or some shit). but still, idk, it'd be cool, and for the setting you'd figure we'd factor in a little. idk though, i know a decent amount about the history of jews in american socialism but little about our role in european communism especially outside of the ussr. there were certainly jewish communist movements within the ussr but most of us would've been gone long before the fall of the soviet union ig.

#i suppose im mostly interested in it bc my family was around in roughly that time period in western europe #ukraine and romania primarily (moved around very often) #and per my mom my ulta ULTA zeyde was a massive trotskyist #and i belieeeeeeve he was first in our family to come to canada (and then the us) #so if i haven't totally fucked the timeline he was around maybe... a couple decades before de is mostly set #i mean its an anachronistic setting and i am also talking out my ass here but #most of my family stayed behind ( greatgreatgrandpa left to dodge the draft <3) #which is a whole historical thing abt the russian army initially refusing to admit jewish soldiers and then switching it #essentially to use us as cannon fodder for a losing war #but i don't remember the exact timeline there so #that may have not been when we came to the us but when we left russia for bordering countries #anyway regardless. would be cool to have jews is all #particularly bc the game tackles fascism head on but then ignores one of the biggest factors in esp european facism #honestly we could be somewhere in measureheads ramblings and i just didn't make the connection

How democratic presidential campaign merch feels

#i mean how are you daddy's money and punk? #lots of the democratic candidates think being poor is when only one parent pays for your ivy league schooling #“fascism is bad!” okay and what are you gonna do about it? #shake hands with the same fascists you've refused to speak up against because “free speech” and “we need to hear BOTH sides?” #step your pussy up Biden #fuck republicans but also fuck democrats #yall are just afraid of making the other side too uncomfy if you're “too progressive” #people who believe genocide is okay sometimes dont deserve to be comfortable... or political leaders #political jokes #political shitposting #trump for prison

I want to be out of my country, who wants to adopt me?

#how on earth is fascism raising again? #like i know the answer #but i refuse

The school just sent home with every kid a whole indian flag (like a really nice cloth one and all) the nationalism is 😐

#uncomfortable. #HATE living in gujarat bro wtf #and everyone’s putting it up in their balconies I’ve hidden the one my sister got lol refuse to participate #ESPECIALLY considering the beejaypee refused to hoist the tiranga until like. a good 20 years after independence iirc #the hypocrisy…..the fascism….. #also funny how when I was in school if we were lucky we’d get a shitty tiny plastic straw one every few years #and these guys get a proper flag #nationalism triumphs profit making ig

this comic is really interesting because its going super in depth with the superhero registration shit and how horrific it was with human rights violations and paralleling real world politics at the time (i believe these issues were released in 2007) and all i can think of is the stupid sokovia accords discourse for the mcu take on it and like. Lmao

#sokovia accords werent as fucked up bc there wasnt a whole population of superpowered civilians #and like just general public persecution of people who arent baseline human #buuuuuut other than that. its the same shit #and everyone was like. but the sokovia accords were good :( #calling a person a weapon of mass destruction is a good thing :( #imprisonment without trial is great :( #why are you supporting fascism by disliking the sokovia accords :( #why are you supporting fascism by disagreeing with registering human beings and then imprisoning w/o trial those who refuse to register :( #why are you supporting fascism by distrusting a government that had literally just been exposed two movies ago to have been infiltrated #by literal nazis from 1945 and had been operating with said nazis since 1945 :( #brot reads marvel comics #thunderbolts (1997) 112
