But that catharsis is blinding, vile, and destructive.
My friend, you’ve got the right stuff. You have a very smooth and relatable style of communication and I really do value when those like you say something that I espouse and would otherwise butcher.
I won’t tell people not to celebrate because I know how disliked that sort of sentiment is on a thread like this. But you’re absolutely right and it sucks. They know that they just hit the “not crying wolf” lottery and will never stop banging that drum.
I don’t have the slightest clue what concept you are trying to elicit, but regardless you’re taking my words out of context. It’s in bad faith and I’m not the least bit interested. No thank you.
History has shown that fascists in power are going to do terrible things. It doesn’t matter what you do, or don’t do, they are going to do the terrible things they want to do regardless. They were blaming the left before Kirk’s body hit the floor, they weren’t going to waste this crisis. The left was ‘at fault’ before there even were memes. Facts don’t matter to them, why the fuck would memes?
This idea of “don’t provoke them with mean memes” is the kind of powerless fear that the abusers are trying to instill in you.
History has also shown that there a few ways of dislodging facists when in power. Smooth talking isn’t one of them.
I appreciate you’re not interested ZMonster, I’m not expecting a reply, I imagine I’m blocked. Purely an explaination for anyone reading through the thread.

I’m frightened for whom the bell tolls.
That ‘right stuff’ didn’t work in the 1940s, what makes you think it would work in '25? Do you know what did work in the '40s?

It wasn’t in bad faith.
