DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 20/02/2025We do realize that the USA's hegemony is over right? The entire globe is shifting east. We are essentially fighting to not descend into a fascist-authoritarian hell-hole, and to be able to live well even after our rivals make parity with us (will coincide with the end of the dollar's dominance) 040

DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 17/02/2025You have no idea how damaging it is to fascism if you can speak and write clearly. If you can even think clearly, you are problem to it. 060
DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Americans are marked by the special ability to not feel mental dissonance. We routinely reconcile the irreconcilable, resulting in: racist christians, statist liberals, fascist conservatives, pro-lifers against free lunch in schools, libertarians supporting state centralization—No dissonance ever. 041

DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 05/02/2025In this article I argued that wherever there are "representatives," the system of Gov is actually an oligarchy or aristocracy. This becomes most apparent in crisis.

DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 05/02/2025The CIA will not hesitate to assassinate or overthrow a foreign leader, but let an actual illegal immigrant launch an internal coup that destabilizes the federal government and suddenly—the CIA is not CIA’ing. 1131
DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 04/02/2025The goal is to go back to when minorities and women were a permanent underclass. Futile. Will do damage and cause pain, but ultimately futile. 130

DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Because it was never about groceries. It was never about the economy. It has always been about visceral FEAR. About non-whites and women making leaps and bounds ahead in a system that once made them a permanent underclass. They FEAR that they are becoming the underclass and Trump feeds on that. 140
DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 03/02/2025The Democratic Party did not Fascist-proof nor Authoritarian-proof their holdings under Biden, nor adequately prepare for the possibility of a returning Trump. Why? Because they assumed we had returned to the status quo. To politics as rhetoric while doing nothing and getting paid. Now look. 170

DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 26/01/2025One of the greatest errors on behalf of liberal democracies in the early 20th century is that they wasted tons of time trying to debate with fascists; to show through reason that their ideas were wrong, immoral or unreasonable. 170

DJ @thenewolympian.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Historically, both conservatives & liberals cooperated with fascists. They believed they could feign deferment, then resurrect their principles & seize back institutions. It never worked.
