  • It’s this exact point for me. “Antifascist” is being taken at face value and simultaneously being tarred as antisocial rhetoric. What the actual fuck has gone on? If the belief that “antifascist” is a cover or a dogwhistle, then shouldn’t you attempt to separate their political orientation away from those words? “They aren’t antifascist. They are political dissidents claiming all of their political enemies are ‘fascists’.”

    Instead, we have: “No, they ARE antifascists and they are our enemies!” Why did we let them stigmatize the word “antifascist”?



  • You could’ve stayed on with the belief that you’d mitigate the MAGAts at the very start but you have to concede that they’re only dragging you deeper now, not the other way around.

    It’s the same with progressives and Democrats. I used to believe progressives should stay and help pull moderates and liberals left in the Democrat party. But it’s inescapably clear now that mainstay Democrats are completely unwilling to be dragged left, so the left needs to separate. If you stay in the party, you stay complicit with what it does. This isn’t a home you built or a nationality you were born into. It’s a job you went for and a side you chose; choose a different one now that the current one is soiled.

    I managed in 6 years, if I include the associate’s degree I got to fix the 2.5 wasted years. And I think going as to undergrad at 18 should be seen as precocious. Backpack around a bit and learn who you are as an independent adult.

    Or you might discover you have a lot of unresolved trauma and fall into depressive states easily in the middle of a semester.

    Probably not just a “me” thing.
