as a leftist, being continually proven right about the origins and continuing rise of fascism while all the adults in the room ignore us gives me zero pleasure at all. "told you so" doesn't cut it. you fuckers should have listened during brexit instead of devil's advocating and trying to parse the semantics of what really constitutes true fascism. you should have listened at the EU demos in 2020 when they set fire to migrant housing instead of sending your shit memes about triggered snowflakes. you should have listened during almost 15 years of continuous conservative rule. you should have listened when we said the quote-unquote moderate liberal candidate was a scab who'd do nothing to address things, and even continue to stoke the fire of authoritarianism and demonise and repeal the rights of the most vulnerable. there are race riots in the streets and the BBC are calling them protesters instead of fascists. I'm fucking done Mike.
