Fascists build power, in liberal democracies like the US, by pointing to the very real failures of capitalism, and blaming them on the least powerful people in society, to redirect attention away from the Henry Fords and Elon Musks who are actually causing the problems.

Every socialist idea begins with the same simple truth: humans flourish when we care for each other. Everything else (the theory, the policies, the struggle) is just logistics.

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

It really makes you feel even worse when people compare disabled people. I am so glad some are able to have their own shops and businesses, truly. And I know that's hard work for them.
That doesn't mean im lazy bc I cant. I want more than anything to be able to but cant manage now.

This is the danger of not knowing or teaching history - how many peope knew that in voting for the GOP, they were voting for people who thought Pinochet's Chile was a good use of US power, and a great example of what capitalism SHOULD be, including in the US?
Roger Stone & Matt Schlapp were banging on the doors in Miami to stop the vote count (The Brooks Brothers Riot).
Meanwhile, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett were on W's legal team drafting the legal arguments to make sure those votes in Florida never counted.

Thread worth reading. This didn't just happen, it was ALLOWED to happen, by people who had the power to stop it, over a period of many decades.
There are people involved who've been trying to do this to the US since the 1970s - the same ppl who backed fucking PINOCHET.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Actually, leftover scumbags from the NIXON administration.
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Roger Ailes, Roger Stone, Kissinger, all should have died in prison at a bare minimum. The George W Bush administration would never have even happened if we didn't let this nest of fascist ratfuckers fester.
