I always try to remind myself that all the suffering he's caused me and my family, the worst trauma we've experienced, is a fraction of the harm he inflicted on families overseas.

I have a brother who watches shit like OAN. I once overheard him telling my parents about that synagogue tunnel story. One time, my family was discussing the French Revolution and he kept arguing that the "lawyers and bankers" tricked the "inner city poors" into rising up against the "good Christian leaders." Even my center-right history buff brother pushed back and later agreed about the fash vibes.

There's so many red flags that he's deep into fash shit but he still acts normal and friendly to me (I'm closeted towards him and my parents). Most of my family can see it but my parents both don't know the signs and don't want to see it, so it's a very uncomfortable dynamic, and I feel like he knows how to take fascist rhetoric and rebrand it to be amenable to my parents. It's like a PVP disabled zone.

He's a veteran who came back and started doing meth to cope, and recently either started doing it again or just went off his meds because he went from standard levels of paranoid schizophrenia that all fascists have to the level of paranoid schizophrenia where you start making actionable threats in a group chat while on parole so for now he's in a jail cell. So that's cool, the world is safer with him there.

They won't be standing with America, but I'm not sure they'll be standing alone either

Of course! If we really want to take down the Empire, we can't criticize stormtroopers because that might make them feel bad and alienate them. We have to debate the stormtroopers in the Marketplace of Ideas.

For some people, becoming an ISB agent is the only way to get healthcare and escape poverty.

Also, the magic words are important because once you answer you can be forced to answer follow up questions to clarify any answer you provide, and what counts as a follow up question is subject to interpretation.

"How did you receive the manifesto?"

"I don't recall."

"When you say you don't recall, does that mean it's possible you received it via email?"

"I don't recall."

"So you're saying that to the best of your knowledge, it's possible that there's a record in your inbox. Judge, can you make him turn over his email account?"

Bit of a stretch and IANAL but there's a reason when you see someone stonewalling they'll say the same line even to simple questions like, "What's your name?"

I guess all of that is moot if they ship him off to El Salvador or award him with the CIA Award for Excellence in Journalism, but those are the rules they're supposed to play by.

We can't reform the system or we might end up with death panels.

Society if every work of fiction ended with the main character looking directly at the camera and explaining the message

Real Scandinavia has never been tried.

Then he called me a fascist again, and someone else said I was a fascist. And then they basically all started shouting fascist at me, and one of them grabbed me by the wrists. They pulled me out the door, it was up three floors, and basically drug me down the stairs on my back. It hurt really bad and I remember yelling "you're breaking the NAP" and things like that. "Stop initiating force against me." Then they kicked me around on the ground in the hallway, before they took my camera and threw me outside. I was crying and stuff, I just sat there. I was in shock because it was so sudden. Looking back there were warning signs though.

You haven't heard of AES (Actually Existing Scandinavian) states?

But it's like you're all queer, not-cis, and anxious and that's it.

Those don't count?!
