Even though OP specified it's a real tweet, I honestly didn't believe them. Until I checked.
Fuck, man. I've been getting more and more desensitized to the absolute bullshit that abounds in this world, and most of the insane stuff fascists do barely registers anymore.
But this hit me like a ton of bricks, for some reason. These people are gonna gas minorities and make memes about it. What a fucking pathetic waste of atoms these assholes are.
Look at the metrics. 4.3M views, boosted hate replies. Blue check.
Twitter and propaganda like it is why this is happening.
Satire is dead and republicans killed it. It’s not the worst thing they’ve done, but I’m still nettled nonetheless. I appreciate you linking
The modern fascist terraforming plan is:
Step 1: Flood the zone.
Step 2: Population gives up and tunes out.
Step 3: Remove all remaining checks to power.
Step 4: Purge all political and social undesirables.
The funny thing is, Stephen Miller and the rest realized they can do the steps in parallel, each one reinforcing and normalizing the others.
The most valuable and hardest thing we can do is not give up resisting. But pace yourself, find some good in the world and give it some of your attention every day. They're relying on wearing us down.
Wow those replies are terrible. I regret clicking.
I've learnt that never reading Twitter replies is actually a form of self-care. No matter how vile the tweet, the replies are always somehow an extra level of unhinged.
Pretty sure many of them are LLMs by bot factories with an interest in the US tearing itself apart, and the prompt is, "Write a reply to {post}. Agree and amplify what is said, but make more racist and divisive."
I've always felt many of these are government jobs programs for conservatives that love free markets but don't have what it takes to survive in them.
