@chadloder Its a disease that uses adrenaline to perpetuate itself. My grandparents who were heavily involved in the civil rights movement, developing real special education curriculum, and deeply involved in non-profits and public education their whole lives. have succumbed to it because as they age and their friends depart all they do now is sit around absorbing hate from Fox news or worse.

Its so sad to see people I've always admired become outright bigots.

@witch_of_winter @chadloder That sucks, Sean, I’m sorry.

It so happens that today I saw a photo exhibition (with audio guide by the artist) largely about the experience of seeing one’s Jewish family go MAGA. It’s by Gillian Laub, at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, and I thought it was pretty great.

@nnz @chadloder the common pattern is it’s a party of brats. You have to wonder where do all the spoiled brats go to when they grow up?

What doesn’t brat behavior look like? Laughing at all the bullshit they got away with, never taking any accountability for mistakes, wrong doings, temper tantrums, lies, rage, deceiving people, manipulating family and friends, harassment to get what they want, double standards etc. there’s more, but my point is, this describes kid behavior.

Now ask yourself, is there a point where that all suddenly changes, especially if nobody ever holds them accountable, or does it get worse? Does the level of each of those behaviors go up a notch with every scenario they get away with using those behaviors?

This is why they hide behind religion, to cover up the complete opposite of their deranged arrogant, sociopathic, narcissistic and psychopathic behavior that gets worse and worse the more they get away with.

This is human behavior, which is why we find fascism all over the world, it’s not a “race” or gender problem, it’s parental upbringing. People who behave this way fall in the fascist category and all share these deranged behaviors. The hate you speak of is projection to escape any responsibility for their shit behaviors.

“It’s not my nasty personality, it’s women” “it’s not my two faced personality it’s black people, Jews, gays” “it’s not my lack of accountability for my behaviors, it’s men” (there are fascist women as well because it’s a mental condition that everyone is susceptible to) “it’s not my rage because I always want my way and can’t deal with any reject, it’s Asians” “it’s not my arrogance, it’s white people”

It’s a mental disorder and form of delusion that comes from sweeping self problems under the rug, hubris. People (regardless of age, gender, skin color, region etc) just run with it and find and connect with others who do the same and label it things like “alpha” “superior” “dominant” “clever” “witty” as ways to sugar coat their mental disorder they keep coddling.

My question is, what do we do about all this fascist uprising? Do we continue to enable their shit behavior and repulsive personalities, make deals, compromise and appease them, while the rest of us keep living under their deranged behaviors and egomaniac personalities that get off on repressing and oppressing others to feel better about how mentally damaged they are? (Because it will absolutely keep getting worse) Or do we start protests and band together and address all the problems that come from their nazi fascist behaviors?

We need livable wages, we need less work hours to break away from their deranged environment and take our lives away from their exploitation.

#5HrsMaxWorkDays #LivableWages #UniversalHealthcare #QualityEducationSystems #ProgressiveEducationSystems
#AffortableEducationSystems
#CertifiedBCorporations

All these tags are the antithesis of their lack of accountability and ability to exploit, recruit, gaslight and keep using everyone for their deranged amusement. All these tags represent what needs to change in order for us to flip the script, and the way we do that is by protesting, day after day, week after week, month after month like in Iran, demanding these tags to go into effect, especially 5hrs max work days and livable wages, otherwise protests will continue.

Rotating groups of protesters (group A of a 1000 people, than group B of a 1000 people takes over, letting group A rest, group C, etc) will allow this to continue, otherwise companies and fascist in the government will wait it out and continue to exploit loopholes, buy out lawmakers etc.

Has education gotten better or worse since the 60s? Have wages gotten better since the 70s? Has racism dissipated since the 80s?

Change has to come from protests, as protests will shut down profits, and the economy. it’s a waste of time waiting for politicians or politics to do it because in that scenario, corruption will have the upper hand because they’ll cross ALL lines (as we’ve been witnessing) to get what they want (brats).

@chadloder

It's specifically the last sentence in your first toot I'm responding to here, lots of shitty people are able to get revealed to be shitty in one community, and then infiltrate a different community. It's certainly hard-to-impossible if you're a household name like Elon Musk, but I don't see it as a solid eventuality that an abuser, thief, grifter, or scoundrel can only ever end up with far right pals.

Maybe we're just talking differing levels of fame or notoriety here.
