    “When you become cruel, aggressive, hostile, and embittered — to someone within your very own coalition, just a little bit different from you, then, my friend, you have already lost, and ensured everyone on your side loses a little more, too.”

    “When we don’t speak the unspeakable, we are defeated before we have even begun to fight. Those words are the living expression of democracy. When we don’t say them — we have become the silent, pliable things that authoritarian fascists make easy meat of.”

    They did. Health care, voting rights, gun control, education, and so much more. The House passed ALL of them. ALL are sitting in the Senate. Don't blame the people who are both legislating AND holding Trump accountable. Blame the people who are doing NEITHER.

    America today is kind of a harbinger of what awaits if we don’t move towards social democracy globally, we end up with the dystopian nightmares of fascism, and a population unable even to understand that much

    It’s not an easy question, this choice between fascism and social democracy, though it should be. Yet the problem is that as a world and as societies we aren’t really even grappling with it properly yet or at all

    This question is the defining one of our lifetimes, do we keep on surrendering to fascism in the way of complicity and denial like Americans or do we actively try to build social democracy globally now, not easy

    I don’t think beyond Europe any society is taking this question of fighting fascism seriously yet. And you can see what happens when you don’t: just look at America. LOL

    I think that’s quite good. I think though you fight fascism by...actually fighting fascism. Which is something I think Americans just don’t get and maybe never will

    So we are now in for a period of profound and serious global instability. The last decade was just the warmup. This decade is going to be the main event. A fascist America, India, China, climate change, mass extinction etc. Painful.

    You can see how fascist currents have just destroyed the UK and US absolutely. To the point that ethnic bans and so forth aren’t even referred to as fascism, just casual everyday affairs. That normalization is the problem

    So this question of moving towards social democracy globally in the ashes of capitalism becoming fascism, is a big one. It’s going to be very very difficult and frankly the fascists are going to win for a decade more, probably longer

    I don’t think we can count on Americans, even Bernie style ones, to care much for the idea of a true social democracy, global solidarity, a fairer world, etc. They still really mostly only care about themselves

    The question is when the sane ones left of us realize we’re fighting for a global social democracy. Otherwise the fascists just keep eating us alive, basically

    When somebody else gets targeted, they're "concerned". But when *they* get targeted, it's "unbelievable".

    We are in a transition beyond economic globalization, as that didn't worked out as planned. The destination is fuzzy b/c in reality Western elected leaders don't understand complexity, but we still assign responsibility to them for work we all should do. Creating
