he is going mask off Adolf Hitler mode recently (since a few years) and apparently it’s causing a split in the party with most preferring to remain cryptofascist lol. they don’t have any real mass support yet thankfully but still, sucks that nobody has killed this guy yet and the state just lets him do this shit.

    of course, the limits of what you can say on twitter specifically now have been pushed to a wild extreme due to it being a nazi website. see Kanye tweeting straight up blood libel the other night

      Shit’s really been on a exponential growth curve recently… not really sure there’s any slowing the train down either. The US appears to teetering on the edge of economic implosion and the fascists are just rubbing their nipples publicly while screaming how much they “loooooooove Hitler.” Shit’s so incredibly fucked.

        yeah, fascism has more or less become mainstream in the last 10 years in the “west”. totally normalised. I’m on the younger side and it’s still been a wild shift for me to take in. academically understanding why it happens is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.
