"[Oppression] should be expected. This is what people are refusing to accept. I get it, it's scary, but pretending we aren't where we are isn't helping. The side that is willing to toss out all the rules and go with anything goes, and then outlaw and criminalize the other side's values and ideology is going to WIN."
"One side is playing for keeps, the other keeps pretending there is a political or democratic solution to all this."

I feel better about siding with them. Pretending they'll ever be held accountable, pretending they'll ever lose power, that's nothing but hope.
And hope is always a goddamned liar.

@Phorm You say it's an argument to side with them.
I say it's an argument to cut the bullshit and start fighting back far beyond the scope of electoral politics immediately.

I say that's a great way to get your throat stepped on.
They have a monopoly on violence, too, you know.

@Phorm So, I either get killed directly, or I get killed slightly more slowly by being legislated out of existence.
Sounds like I've got nothing to lose, then~

@Phorm How is it? It's already beyond obvious that the fascists will stamp out everything they see as different until they've eaten up even themselves, unless stopped. On top of that, a life lived as a lie for the sake of protecting myself would be a life utterly wasted; I'm beyond that, and have been for years now.
It's resistance or death, and I for one am feeling *far* too young to die right now.

@Thaminga
That's a false dilemma, but I'm not about to comment further.
