@eldersea Does fictional entertainment count as fraud?

@feoh This is perhaps the canonical list of what makes up fascism, written 30 years ago: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism Eco is carefuI to note that a fascist government need not fulfil *every* criterion. But the current US administration clearly *does* meet every single one.

@crystalvisits "Perceived frontrunner" = "anointed by the (billionaire-owned) press". Same way we got Biden in 2020 and Newsom being talked about already for 2028. Getting big money out of journalism has to be one of the pillars of NuReconstruction.

@siderea I wish my dad was alive to ask. While he didn't become an editor until a few years later, he might have had useful insight.

@crystalvisits Kes says: As a fellow troublemaker, I just wanted to say, "I'm so proud of you!" Question: Have you officially gotten called a troublemaker at your school yet, like I wss at UMass Boston?

@dashdsrdash Ouch.

@swisslet Not Everyrhing Is A Zero-Sum Game. (Remarkably few aspects of human society are, actually.)

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Tangential to your (accurate) point: Roid-rage is a myth, but "steroid psychosis" is a real and terrifying phenomenon, one that doctors do not routinely alert patients to the risk of. It was scary enough once we understood what was happening, but before then -- brrrrrrr!

@grassrootsforeurope@mas.to Is it concerning that 5M voters died, but there are only 3M new voters? Or am I missing something?

@crystalvisits@mas.wrong.tools Meet 'em where they live. If they lack compassion but value money, talk to them about money. It's not like the two methods have a different answer here!

@crystalvisits@mas.wrong.tools On my way to the drugstore today, I heard 4 gunshota in rapid succession, then saw a kid running for his life. I don't *know* the shooter was a cop, but it's how I would bet 😠

@crystalvisits@mas.wrong.tools You can plant them, you just won't get to eat the results 🙂
