Yeah, the christofascists and the technofascists are both groups of unbearably abrasive control freaks, and neither of them can stand to give up one miniscule bit of power. It’d be delicious if their edgelord ideologies weren’t so dangerous to the rest of us.

Yeah, they were perfectly happy to ride the tiger when it was hurting people they hated and giving them power over ignorant bigots.

I made that exact mistake a couple weeks ago, and it was just like you say. Biggs doesn’t have nearly as many of those bitter ones, either.

No. It’s another form of government that has its own issues, but not all authoritarian regimes are fascist.

On the other hand, neo-feudalists are reactionaries because they want to return society to a mythical past where a heirarchy of elites rules over their subjects. Fascism, neo-feudalism, and conservatism are all subsets of reactionary ideology, but they are not the same thing.

The Card Says Moops is a great video that illustrates this principle.

Don’t forget the conspiracy sticker covered diesels rolling coal with truck nutz.

Reactionaries just think the country belongs to them alone.

It really is that simple; “truth” to them is just whatever gets them closer to their goal of completely subjegating the people they hate, which is everyone who rejects their cultural hegemony.

“Right wing reporter” is code for “bigoted concern troll,” and she knows that feeding the trolls just entices them.

When MAGA made sexual harassment great again.

Should have said or done something when you were in office, fucko.

Damn that’s a nice lectern. How much does it cost, like $200?

Kaboom and other reactionaries hate their fellow citizens more than anything. It’s why he’s an authoritarian: he thinks conservatives should be able to tell people how to live by force of law.

When they pretend to care about rights and liberty it’s just a smokescreen to hide their real passions: bootlicking for oligarchs and imposing white supremacy.

So… Bring my HEV suit and crowbar?

I think it’s pretty naïve to think that oligarchs are benevolent, and at least we have a say on how government money gets spent.

What we have now is billionaires rigging the system in their favor; like I said, that kind of wealth disparity is inherently destabilizing to society, and they accumulated it through exploitation.

Finally, if the people could spend the money better than the government, why do we have taxes at all? It’s because there are things that we need to address as a society instead of relying on charity that may or may not come.

The change handed out by billionaires as philanthropy is PR to keep them from paying their fair share in taxes. Calling them a parasite class is completely accurate— they couldn’t have earned that much wealth without exploiting both the laborers who created it and the society that their extreme horde inherently destabilizes. If they paid their fair share in taxes, then their donations would be appreciated.

Which is why I said the media is lying for the Trump administration: this is the lie that the administration told, and the media repeats it for them.

The fact is that they didn’t give a fuck if they could deport him or not.

Saying he was “mistakenly deported” makes it sound like they cared one bit. There was no error; the judge issued an order asking for any evidence of that, and he got crickets back.

Then it seems that they should have left out “mistakenly” if they only report verifiable things that they can prove, including motives.

The media needs to not treat this as normal or blundering. MAGA know what they are doing: making this country intolerable to immigrants.

This isn’t a purity test, it’s criticism. That’s a perfectly fine thing to do.

The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children, after the government posted their home address to social media.

I really wish the media would stop lying for the Trump administration. It wasn’t a mistake, they deported him intentionally.

I bet he could cheer himself up with one of those brain chips he’s trying to get going.

Exactly. One glance at the list of countries by incarceration rates will confirm that the US has been a police state for a while now; it’s just who is being targeted that is changing.
