!["Fascism arises because of the collapse of institutional legitimacy of liberal institutions. That's how we got Trump and that's [how] we're gonna get what's coming next after him, that's gonna be even worse, because if you think that there's not gonna be more ecological & economic catastrophes in the future that liberalism is wholly unsuited to fucking deal with and that that failure is not gonna lead to fascism filling that fucking hole, you've got another thing coming.
And that's what these guys are. These guys who marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of the zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and it's going to either require mass redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the First World, or genocide.
And these are the first people who have basically said "If that's the choice, I choose genocide." And they're getting everybody else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be OK when it happens. Why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away so we can watch them die with clear consciences because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.
On the other side of them, you have the people who are saying in full fucking voice, "No, we have the resources to save everbody, to give everybody a decent and worthwhile existence," and that is what we want, and that is the fucking real difference between these two.
And you can tell that to the next asshole who says they're two sides of the same coin."
