From Anatomy of Fascism by Robert Paxton

It is by understanding how past fascisms worked, and not by checking the color of shirts, or seeking echoes of the rhetoric of the nation-al-syndicalist dissidents of the opening of the twentieth century, that we may be able to recognize it. The well-known warning signals— extreme nationalist propaganda and hate crimes-are important but insufficient. Knowing what we do about the fascist cycle, we can find more ominous warning signals in situations of political deadlock in the face of crisis, threatened conservatives looking for tougher allies, ready to give up due process and the rule of law, seeking mass support by nationalist and racialist demagoguery. Fascists are close to power when conservatives begin to borrow their tech-niques, appeal to their "mobilizing passions," and try to co-opt the fascist following.

Yeah they’re definitely getting more comfortable saying this stuff about kids. These people are itching for a genocide.

Screenshot of an X post from dipshit Matt Van Swol:

The dumbest shit I've ever heard is that a baby
DESERVES to be an American citizen if that baby's parents BROKE THE LAW and
ILLEGALLY ENTERED OUR COUNTRY and had a baby here.
That is so obviously idiotic.
Anyone with a brain understands that's completely insane.

Was getting really bummed out last night because I saw that all of the YouTube comments under a Taking Back Sunday music video were just old guy posting. Fuck man. Millennials are going to be annoying old guys too. Oh no

Ah yes, it must be a foreign element leading Parisians to riot. I can’t think of any rioting in Paris prior to the introduction of refugees.

X post from Katie Miller. She is quote tweeting a Visegrád 24 post saying "Riots and attempts of arson and looting reported from Paris in connection with the Champions League final played in Budapest tonight between Arsenal and PSG" with a video of a riot attached. She replies, "Import the third world, become the third world."

Making this long ass post about how devastating this photo has been for you while you also have the photo as your avi is one of the funniest things in the world

The Lectern Guy-@lecternleader
X.com
On a serious note, 1 am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week.
Maybe l'Il fly to DC and deliver it personally.
My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books.
What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods.
I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey.
My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life.
Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist.
My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security.

USF denied my reentry into college.
I had to fight to get my guns rights back.
My children and myself were subjected to additional screenings by the TSA.
My federal probation officer tried to stop me from speaking out on @Timcast warning that more death threats might come if I choose to talk.
My attorney fees were 100k, I was fined 5k and | lost five years of my life to date fighting the lies they told about me.
We spent an additional 150k in publicity trying to clear my name and restore my reputation.
The DOJ could've chosen to release the evidence clearing my name but withheld it.
They maliciously charged me with felony theft.

We lost things that can never be restored but if they choose to do the right thing and restore the Jers, we can finally finish setting things right.

I am more white than (almost) all of you. I am indo-European (Aryan) and proud to be it.
You are wrong Aryans. Liberal, weak, pervert.
You are modern. This kind of whiteness is shame. Real whites are Iranians, Indians, evolians. All the rest is a thrash.

Screenshot of three tweets in a row from Dugin:

Be Eurasian. Become Greek once more.
Enough with the West. It is nothing but failure.
New beginning. Study Heidegger. Read Guénon. Stop being what you are. It is disgusting.

Whites? They have destroyed the world and themselves. To be white means to be nihilist.
It is selfhatred race. It caused so many troubles to others and to itself. It has lost the right to be something. No arguments to support its existence.

Enlightenment is the dead end. Impass. There is no Enlightenment but dark one. It is Al/ capitalism Antichrist. The Christianity has ended with Middle Ages in the West. It is still present in the Orthodox East (Russia).

It’s awesome that the right is fine with Kalshi and shit but this brewery saying they’d give out free beer if Trump dies is "creating an incentive." Like someone is going to go "damn, I really want some beer, but I don’t have any money. I guess I’m going to kill the president!"

Screenshot of a Facebook post from Minocqua Brewing Company: Well, we almost got #freebeerday. Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle.
We'll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.

This screenshot is being shared by Drew Grage who says, "This brewery in Wisconsin is gushing over the assassination attempt. These people want us dead."

Drew Grage’s post is quote tweeted by George Santos, who says, "This place needs to be investigated as they are creating an incentive… that’s brazen and vile."

I do AV work for a funeral home and this is one of the most common song choices. It seems to be one of those songs that elderly boomers and silent generation folks turn to as they’re thinking about death.

Screenshot of an X post from @clashreport:

Trump posted a video of Frank Sinatra performing “My Way”.

“And now, the end is near / And so I face the final curtain…
 Regrets, I’ve had a few / But then again, too few to mention…
 I did it my way.”

Honestly I think the most baffling thing on the list is this idea of "deterrence built on AI." I would love it if someone could lay out for me what this means. I understand how big bomb that goes boom can create a geopolitical order, but how does a chatbot that tells you to commit suicide do that?

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.l. is set to begin.

A hell of a birthday present for me :)

Gravel-voiced auteur Tom Waits and trip-hop titans Massive Attack don't have much in common, but both have been pretty reluctant to put out new material.
But wait! Looks like April 16th will see some good news for fans of either (or both, as this author is).

I give your publicity stunt 3 out of 5 stars. Which by your metrics is actually… *very low*, oof!

Screenshot of the customer ratings screen for a DoorDash driver. At the top is my average of 4.6 out of 5 stars, labeled "moderate." Below is their metrics, showing very high as above 4.88, high as above 4.76, moderate as above 4.58, low as above 4.41, and very low being anything below 4.40.

[Tweet from John Ganz in May 2023]

every foreign election on twitter:

“very excited to hear that the opposition has prevailed, great day for democracy.”

(30 minutes later)

“have learned opposition leader has referred to oppressed national minority as ‘dogs worthy of death’ on several occasions. concerning!”

And as a result, the U.S. won’t leave this conflict with 10% of its dignity, or 5% of its dignity. At the end of this, we’ll have none left!

Holy Week is about the events leading up to the passion. The resurrection comes at Easter. But it's natural that this administration would want to skip the dour parts that require self-reflection. I'm sure those parts are uncomfortable when you know you're the Romans.

X post from Aaron Rupar with a video of a White House Press Briefing attached:

Leavitt begins the press briefing: "Could you hear our 'amen' in there? We just had a little loud prayer as a team. In this holy week,
President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ."
