Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

it may very well be that we are just not capable, as a species, of doing anything productive about this sort of thing.

are there any cases, in human history, where a society has successfully curtailed the rise of a fascist autocracy?

@saltywizard the UK had fascists before WWII, but they didn't take over. The UK still has fascists, but they've kept them out of power so far. That's kind of winning, right?

@saltywizard @stellarsarah @Strandjunker yeah seriously brother, look at their transgender & immigration politics right now. Fascism has been alive & well in the power infrastructure in the UK for decades now.

@saltywizard socialist revolutions, but then most were mined by the US... and people were brainwashed for many years now to the point where they will defend such fascist governments while being victims of it themselves.

@saltywizard yes. every place that is not currently under a fascist autocracy has done that. does that answer your question, or do you have more pointless bioessentialist-coded moping to do?

@saltywizard Read Rachel’s book Ultra. We were able to do it before. Whether we can do it again remains to be seen. @Strandjunker
