A quotation from Hannah Arendt

The disturbing factor in the success of totalitarianism is rather the true selflessness of its adherents: it may be understandable that a Nazi or Bolshevik will not be shaken in his conviction by crimes against people who do not belong to the movement or are even hostile to it; but the amazing fact is that neither is he likely to waver when the monster begins to devour its own children, and not even if he becomes a victim of persecution himself, if he is framed and condemned, if he is purged from the party and sent to a forced-labor or concentration camp. On the contrary, to the wonder of the whole civilized world, he may even be willing to help in his own prosecution and frame his own death sentence if only his status as a member of the movement is not touched.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

The firing of Bondi clarifies a strategy for fighting Trump's fascism: Keep the pressure on those around Trump and force them to show him for the shitty fascist he is. Trump will do the destroying of the empire for us. Soon he'll have no allies left. #resist #fightfascism #selfdestruction

this is not a coincidence. It says girls are things to be consumed by the #Patriarchy. A ressource to be capitalized on as they seize and control the means of (re)production. #paedophilia #self-destruction
