If in #America, as happened in #Hungary
popular reaction to #corruption / #fascism will be strong enough to wipe out Trump and #MAGAs...
Americans will see a 60/70% of MAGA
'politician' resign
quickly
'to spend more time with their family'
They will try to 'disappear' as quickly as possible from the public stage
They will do so in the hope of not being legally prosecuted for the crimes they committed for Trump.
DO NOT make the mistake of letting them go unpunished.
there must be accountability

...could fascism rise in the United States after it's been crushed abroad? What can we do to prevent it?

it makes me sad that i grew up all my life with the core knowledge that Nazis are bad.... and that seemed to be a universally held - and upheld - truth.
But then everyone got addicted to social media platforms and now it's fine if those companies pay Nazis to post rage bait. People will just keep scrolling anyway.

“Fascism is not a historical accident, but the logical continuation of liberal capitalism at the stage of monopoly.”
- Max Horkheimer
There is something almost offensively inconvenient about Horkheimer’s sentence.
It refuses the comforting story.
Fascism is not a monster that crawls out of the forest while respectable society watches helplessly from the window.
It does not require civilisation to suddenly disappear.
It can emerge from within existing institutions, existing hierarchies, existing economic relations.
That is the point.
When capital concentrates, inequality deepens and economic crises become structural rather than exceptional, the question becomes increasingly unpleasant: what happens when democracy starts getting in the way of concentrated power?
One possible answer is reform.
Another is repression.
And fascism is, among other things, a particularly vicious political answer to that contradiction.
It preserves hierarchy by redirecting popular anger away from the structures producing insecurity and towards convenient human targets.
The unemployed become lazy. The migrant becomes dangerous. The queer person becomes corrupting. The dissident becomes subversive.
The system remains innocent.
The victim becomes the problem.
And this is why I find the contemporary habit of treating fascism as something belonging exclusively to history so profoundly dangerous.
Fascism rarely introduces itself as:
Hello. I am fascism.
It tends to arrive as an administrative measure.
A moral panic.
A security policy.
A campaign against “degeneracy.”
A little restriction here.
A little dehumanisation there.
A political movement discovers that cruelty polls well, and suddenly cruelty acquires a press office.
Horkheimer was not offering a prophecy.
He was offering a warning about structure.
And structures do not care whether we find them aesthetically unpleasant.
They simply keep producing consequences.

Before we worry about religious fundamentalism anywhere in the world, we Americans should push back against the radical Christian nationalism in the US. The threat of Project 2025 is being made more real every day. On some measures, over 50% of its domestic policy agenda has been put in place.
November is our chance, maybe our last chance.

As soon as the fascists were in control of the government, the torturings and the killings were no longer the unlawful acts of a political party and its hoodlum gangs. They became official government policy.

Just two examples of what I am dealing with on that other “social” network I sadly need to be a member of.
This is gay people trying to eradicate trans people from queer history — while apparently also appointing themselves the Supreme Court of what “normal-looking” gay men and lesbians are. 🙄
And yes, history has an ugly little lesson here. In the Weimar Republic, there were gay men who were deeply attracted to nationalist and later Nazi ideology, including people who were quite happy to distinguish themselves from the “wrong sort” of queer people. Respectability, conformity and throwing other queer people under the bus did not make them safe. It did not save them.
So when I see queer people trying to scrub trans people out of Stonewall, Pride and the history of our liberation, I pay attention.
Because this isn't merely about the past.
They want to erase us from history because they want to erase us from reality.
And finally, can we talk about the “kiddo”, “child”, “babe” routine?
A grown man disagreeing with a grown person and immediately reaching for infantilising language to establish dominance is not exactly a revolutionary new contribution to human civilisation.
Isn't that just typical fucking male behaviour? 🙃

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social
The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts. "Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️

"It's morally bankrupt to do that, to know that these people are producing content that's in breach of your own regulations, yet you're actually not just allowing them, but you're encouraging them by paying them," she said.
Meta is also one of the few social media giants that discloses any information about who it is paying. Other platforms, like YouTube, TikTok and Twitter, have very little transparency in this space.

The phrase of the day in the mainstream news media appears to be "center-left". Are you a democratic politician who takes lots of money from AIPAC and loyally votes to send billions of tax dollars to Israel to murder Palestinian children? Congratulations, you're "center-left"!
Do you collect tons of cash from the military industrial complex and vote for every war and military bill possible? Nice to meet a center-left patriot!
Have you been proud to raise your hand and vote to fund ICE and the DHS? You center-left types are SO attractive!
Did you seize control of Germany and start World War II? You may be center-left!
Seriously, it's like someone just sent out an email or something and ordered the media to call every right-wing Democrat "center-left". It's creepy!

Today in Labor History August 4, 1974: The fascist terrorist organization, Ordine Nero, set off a bomb on the Italicus Express train at San Benedetto Val di Sambro, Italy, killing 12 people and wounding 22. Their goal was to destroy the liberal-democratic state because of its alleged tolerance of Communists, dark-skinned immigrants and Jews.
