Another big problem is the widespread denial of creeping fascism.
Because it doesn’t come with funny moustaches and goose stepping, nobody notices.
Look at this recent interview with Steven Hassan on Michael Shermer’s show. Despite being a Democrat, Shermer poo-poo’s all suggestions that there is a problem with the right wing and Christian extremists:
I had a planned essay to present as part of the emails I send you each week. However, I became aware that the OneDrive saving program had not been activated. Indeed, it is a look at Scott Adams and the process of using intelligent syntax and functions to alter the more human behavior and ideals of the population. One could say that the intelligent class is today full of conservative reactionaries. It should not be the case, yet I am failing to see people on the more liberal and human front using their intellect to counter propaganda and brainwashing. We tend now to be reactive rather than proactive. This needs to change. And honestly, we cannot rely on only a select few of us to make things different. We need to counteract these measures by delving headfirst into the social media realm and going on platforms that may not be as kind to us as other platforms. Over the years. I have sent emails and correspondence out to liberal, conservative, anarchist, religious, and scientific platforms alike. I do not agree with everything on one platform as I might with another; yet the echo chamber once I do this is broken. And the ideas I present will need to be looked at. Many others like us will need to do this and other multimedia functions to get our platform across. These Flynn/Q acolytes are doing these things and thinking of 5th generation warfare. We will need to counteract their endeavors post haste.
That struck me. I've been reading a lot about narcissists and that is also how narcissists act. We are their supply. We should all consider adding tools to help combat this abusive behavior. Really, Elon et al are training their followers to be abusers.
Your work is saving hearts, minds and lives. You inspire and give courage. Our very own Zelensky! Mark everything with a bold S for Stewartson! My admiration keeps growing for you. ✌️❤️😉
Got kicked off r/Florida on Reddit for posting too much about gay bans and book bans. Then got a notice they would allow "political" posts if you put a flair on it. I asked how they would better handle the issue of not banning people for simply "caring for their fellow humans"? Literally the phrase. And they banned me again lol.
Our ability to care is expansive. You are a wonderful and soulful example ... you set an example of standing up to "the bully" and fighting to protect our language and our spirits in these difficult days.
Words matter, laughter matters, racist cartoons are an ancient way to "other" people deemed less than or other. We need inspiration, literature, libraries, access to knowlege and freedom to think critically. To be curious and learn everyday...thanks Jim for teaching about the dangerour musk version of twitter. And for caring. Empathy is priceless.
I keep a small but popular Little Free Library box in front of my home along with a “community announcements board.” As soon as it stops raining here I’m going to add a trash basket alongside the book box and invite my neighbors to drop in the covers from any”Dilbert”
books they would like to discard. No support for racists like Scott Adams!
I used to love Dilbert, but I refused to look at any more of it once Scott Adams turned out to be a Trumpanzee. I knew nothing good would come from him after that.
