14. There's only one way to deal with fascists.

Aug 2025

And I know a lot of people on this site don’t want to deal with it, don’t want to consider it and think that somehow the system is going to save us.

It isn’t.

You cannot vote fascists out, they will not leave willingly and they don’t care about people waving signs and wearing pussy hats.

There is going to come a time when we need to end this by force. I know it’s scary, I know it’s going to be horrible but it must be done. Otherwise we’re just going to have to eat the fascist boot and see everything and everyone we care about die. We’re just going to have to knuckle under and hope they don’t bother us or worse, join the team. There is no other way.

It’s that serious. We should be doing this now while there’s still food to be had.

Unfortunately, Americans are too comfortable. Too easily distracted. And saving the country is too inconvenient.

It’s surreal that we’re at this point but we are there. Denying it is folly.
