This popped into my head today

Boiled in Lead - Army (Dream Song)

Republicans love to talk about "voter fraud" because, amongst other reasons, they can't understand that most people fucking hate them.

Every non white, non cis, non male, non able bodied person has had the experience of sharing an idea but not being heard at all by the hegemon du jour, only to have the same idea applauded when someone in the "right" demographic says it. Totally infuriating. Such a common experience that it shows up as a trope in ads, tv, everywhere.

Still, if the idea is the important thing, we might swallow the outrage and let the clueless guy take the credit. Or even let them think it was their idea in the first place. Not because it's right, but because we need to get the shit done.

@lzg

beyond right and wrong, self-interest alone justifies fighting #nazis

people need to understand what #fascism is

it doesn't create anything

it only consumes

it constantly makes new enemies because if it stops consuming, it dies

fascism must always be on the move like a shark or it perishes

so new outgroups to persecute are contrived and eventually you will be in one of them

simple self-preservation:

you must stop fascism now before it gets to you

"doesn't affect me"

oh it will
