You can't keep telling people the future is a fascist takeover and ecological collapse, and conservatives and corporations are the ones directly responsible and are blocking efforts to fix it, and not expect people to ask why we're being so goddamn nice to them in that case.
Like, I'm over civility and norms. Where is the aggression this situation demands?
Because if it's a choice between death and destruction or expelling, prosecuting, or killing a bunch of fascists, I know which side I'm coming down on.
It's no Gordian Knot.
But our entire political moment is construed around the idea that these people are Good and Decent, actually, and we have to work with them, despite them trying to do coups and kill us all.
Because they're white and rich.
