Louisiana will become the first state to require that public universities and K-12 schools display the Ten Commandments in every classroom after the Senate voted overwhelmingly to push forward new

Do they want Baphomet in their schools? Because this is how you get Baphomet in your schools.

    Lol I agree with you, but there’s other posts in here that will get you better traction than this one. I recently saw one about a lawmaker proposing a national registry of pregnant people. That one would have an audience more amendable to the point that they really do want to dominate and exterminate their enemies.

    Though effective opposition requires organization, armed or not. The organizations that would be used for armed resistance when necessary are only marginally different from the organizations fighting for positive change within the system right now.

      The thing is that its all incremental. Liberals here should understand how incrementalism works because they propose it all the fucking time. Commandments in schools is the basis for pregnancy registrations and then killing or imprisoning gays and then government-sanctioned white supremacy etc etc. There are not enough reasonable people to stop this. There is no situation in which the creep to fascism ended without lots of violence. I’ll be fine; I’m white and in a very tolerant area…but I come from the places where the fascists are breeding and mark my words: liberals absolutely DO NOT UNDERSTAND who they’re dealing with. Most of the murders of “undesirables” won’t even make the local news, and certainly won’t be investigated or prosecuted.

        Oh trust me, I understand how fascism and these sorts of things works. The vast majority of people will be surprised if the US experiences some kind of genocide or civil war. But that’s just it, the average person has a hard time seeing it coming, so you can’t raise the alarm on things that seem innocuous. They’ll think you’re crazy. You have to point at the really fucked up stuff happening right now so they can imagine what would happen if those people got their way.

        In any case, we still have time to change course, and this post would be a good one for getting people politically organized and fighting that way, since they have a hard time understanding how this sort of thing leads to violence.
