even so, it's sometimes good to be reminded of certain things we all know, one way or another. like what martin niemoller said in 1946:

"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.


and what no passaran refered to at. say, the siege of madrid (1936 for those keeping score at home).

i've repeated it a bunch and would much rather be on to something else because there's lots of things to be interested by in the world. this does not interest me: it repulses.
these people are neo-fascists. straight up.
they dont have power and are kinda clowns, but the history that they align with---whether you like it or not---is littered with people who seemed like clowns.
i think they should be actively opposed.
it's not ok that the tea party---particularly not this manifestation of it, this racist dimension---gets such sweetheart coverage on faux news.
it's not ok that there is an ideological infrastructure that is able to perpetuate and extend the reach of this reactionary business.
it's not ok that there is an institutional frame that sees playing with this neo-fascism something that might be a tactical advantage.

this situation is not ok.
