thankfully, fascists fear death. this is crucial to opposing them.

the book Negroes With Guns asserts, in the telling of a self-defense force in the deep south, that racists revel in violence up until they risk being harmed. they rely on your pacifism and it goads them on. but when you put a gun in their face, everything changes.

one of the crucial differences between the leftist — the anarchist, the socialist, the communist — and the fascist is the role of rhetoric: the leftist honors the power of words and allows them to be persuasive, while the fascist uses them incoherently as a blunt instrument because rhetoric isn’t real power, just a cover story. but rhetoric can influence our internal reasoning and shape the values we choose to embody. there is a reason communist regimes prize literacy.

Starting to think that maybe groups organized and centered around corporate social media platforms are just spectacle meant to enrich the media giant's profits off the unpaid labor of community influencers and moderators. Maybe, just maybe, these platforms are not the bastions of progress we were promised, and instead what we see is a mass audience instead of a huge platform for organizing anything of substance.
