Hey, neighbor. These are spooky times— but it’s also important to remember that they’re intentionally spooky times. What’s happening right now, this fascist nonsense, is incredibly unpopular.
Everybody is pissed off at this guy, which is why he’s trying to threaten us with violence and persecution. It’s also why he’s intentionally trying to endanger our safety. While national intelligence ought to be fending us off from domestic terrorism, the regime has funneled all resources to hunting down our neighbors— all while he’s got a drunk leading our military, an addict wrecking our health infrastructure, and a twenty-something grocery bagger as the head of domestic terrorism prevention. It’s also worth pointing out that this homicidally unqualified individual also interned with the Heritage Foundation, the strategic engine behind forcing Christian nationalist extremism on the rest of us by way of a Christofascist techno-feudalism.
In short, it’s a fucked up time. But I need you to remember that they need you scared to pull this off. People with actual power don’t need force. If we don’t let down, their goose is cooked.
There are ten things, in particular, fascists need you to keep telling yourself in order for them to stay in power. This podcast will identify those ten lies, explain why fascists need you to believe them, and orient you to the truths about this moment they don’t want you to see which, if embraced, ensure that we’ll prevail.
Give it a listen.
P.S. I try to keep these short. I try. But I’ve got a mouth on me. Anyhow, speed my voice up— you have my enthusiastic encouragment to adjust the playback speed.
