ID: photo of Martin Luther King Jr. waving at the crowd during the March on Washington, on it is his quote: “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

    I feel like it should be a normal thing to openly stand against fascism. If anyone has a problem with me because of that then they’ve proven themselves to be people I would never want to interact with in the first place

      It’s still somewhat incredible to me that the label “Antifa” is used as a pejorative by some of these talking heads.

      Uhh, last I checked we committed a whole bunch of boats and soldiers to literally blowing the brains out of nazi skulls on one particular Day…

      Opposing fascism should be the default American stance, we’re just riddled with cancer/capitalism

        And it’s crazy, because, as someone who grew up in the 90s/00s, it always was. My public education did not shy away from shitting on Nazis and explaining the dangers of fascism. They started teaching that shit in elementary school.

        The brain rot that has set-in over the past two decades or so has just been mind boggling and insane to watch.

        Incredible but not surprising. The talking heads use a word or a name as a pejorative for long enough, and the listeners internalize it.
