I am not, and was not, saying that we should tolerate fascism! We should not, absolutely not, and what is happening in this country right now is a travesty.
I'll try to make it simple: Fascism = very bad, voting for a fascist = very bad, only conservative ideas = not good enough, only progressive ideas = not good enough.
Moderate conservatives and liberals not coming together is what causes fascism in the first place.
- ZeroTalent 2y agoThat's an interesting take, and it sounds right. I wonder what the root causes are. Lack of civil education, community strength, and things like these probably play a big part in that division. Educated, clever, happy, balanced people would not let someone like Trump (grab em by the pussy, etc) come even an inch to the any governing body.
- linuxhansl 2y agoLate reply... I think lack of education is part of it. The other part is that we are bombarded with content designed to keep us glued to the screen, and the best to do that is to feed us stuff we either agree with or that causes us to feel self-righteous indignation :)
