“I started to think of this as ‘The Cassandra Song.’ It plays as follows:
1. Trump (or senior people in the movement) said (insert bad outcome or values).
2. We had good reasons to think he/they meant it.
3. We had good reasons to think his base wanted it.”
We weren’t disbelieved. We were gaslighted by those around us. The majority of Americans have always been fascists. They knew what we said was true. They’re actually in favor of it all.
The best line in the whole article:
*And looking back, it was all obvious.*
Last words that will be remembered by nobody when we’re all dead and the fascists are victorious… which I’m pretty sure is nearly a fait accompli since there’s no direct resistance aside from wearing frog costumes, blowing whistles, and praying ICE doesn’t open fire.
Instead of trying to get people to help we Cassandras should pursue whatever means we prefer to resolve this situation with extreme prejudice.
@oberstenzian that is the biggest line of bullshit…translated:
”let me justify why I didn’t do shit because I benefit from this fascist system”
