In reply to the discussion: Jan. 6 Organizers Used Anonymous 'Burner Phones' to Communicate with White House and Trump Family [View all]Bernardo de La Paz
(48,994 posts)15. I don't want to be any part of fascist measures, even against fascists. Do you?
I'm not talking about measures during violent insurrectionist coup attempt riots.
I'm talking about fascist measures against "the media" and others because someone believes the media and others work "to legitimize/normalize outrage."
Social media are worse. They have not just normalized outrage, they have actively jacked it up by pumping outrage into feeds. They profit from increasing outrage because outraged users are more engaged and the social media sells more advertising for more profit.
Even so ...
I do not want to be part of going fascist.
I don't think the Democratic Party and Democrats in general want to be part of going fascist.
I don't think progressives and liberals want to be part of going fascist.
I'm surprised you want any part in going fascist.

Only the foot soldiers are criminally liable it seems. Not the commanding officers.
