Simple
I’ve seen some long overdue discussions about how to counter fascism in America.
Unfortunately most liberals, technocrats, Democrats, progressives don’t come from a culture where they’ve been in contact with authoritarianism. So they lack the know-how, the language, the habits.
So I’d like to offer a simple message:
humiliate them. Humiliate fascists. Read them for filth. Remind them they’re lazy, weak and stupid. Do it in public. Do it with a calm, collected voice because those are the facts.
Are you going to change their behavior? Of course not. But you’re going to leave an impression on the bystanders who would otherwise confuse might for right.
Humans are primates. We’re not that fancy. We understand power. Use it or lose it.
And if it means you don’t get invited to parties or don’t get promoted in your job: tough. The other way is to ask how you can help make tyranny more efficient.
