CW: CW: Fascism, political violence, historical revisionism
Fascism never lasts.
It may swagger. It may acquire uniforms, flags, ministries, billionaires, television channels and an absolutely astonishing number of mediocre men with very strong opinions.
But eventually, it breaks.Because evil has terrible long-term management skills.
And then comes the most entertaining part.
The people who spent years cheering for it will suddenly develop an acute case of “Oh, I was never really one of them.”
The ones who marched will say they were merely observing.
The ones who applauded will insist they were being ironic.
The ones who spread the propaganda will suddenly discover the nuanced political thinker hiding somewhere underneath all that fascist garbage.
And the ones who demanded cruelty will solemnly announce that they always supported human rights.
Oh, Sweetie.
We have evidence.That is why we screenshot.
Why we download.
Why we archive videos.
Why we preserve posts, speeches, usernames, dates and declarations.Not because we are building some little book of grudges.
Because memory is a weapon against historical laundering.Because victims deserve the truth. And perpetrators deserve no hiding space.
Fascism will end.
The uniforms will come off.
The flags will disappear.
The statues will come down.
And suddenly everyone will have been a brave little resistance fighter all along.Except...
We kept the screenshots.
We kept the videos.
We kept the archives.
So when the reckoning comes, and it will come, there will be nowhere for these people to hide behind “I didn't know.”We will know.
History will know.
And, regrettably for the fascist revisionists, the internet has a rather better memory than they do.
Archive everything.
Let them lie later.
We have work to do now.#Fascism #Antifascism #NeverAgain #DocumentEverything #KeepTheReceipts #ArchiveTheTruth #HistoryMatters #ResistFascism #QueerResistance #NoToFascism
