One of the signs or indicators of fascism ....

The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

And a certain politician already spilled the beans on who's behind all that in their mind.

And it's weirdly the same guys they support in Israel.

It's crazy how openly fascist and bonkers politics has become. Like, it's not even hidden behind dog whistles anymore.

Some people just want a repeat of the last century, from fascism, to rapid technological advancement, to a pandemic in the respective year 20 of each century. We only need an economic crisis at the end of this decade and we're done. Basically millennials are the victorians of the future

Also MAGA: climate change isn't real, we can't control the weather

As crazy as it is, seems like their nuts-o messaging might be working. I just had a guy at work talking about this and he’s not one to talk politics, he’s just someone who’s online a lot.

Passing thought: maybe they're right. Government inaction has made it worse.

But at the same time... If you don't pull the lever, thereby passively allowing the trolley to run over a bunch of people as a result of your inaction, are you really "controlling" the trolley?

I don't know. If your hands are on the levers and it is specifically your job to pull the levers in order to avoid disaster and you stand there staring while the trolley runs the people over, I would argue it's at minimum gross negligence.
