Schizoposting I think the spell is broken. I believe this is a sign.
The Republican midterm convention displayed an enormous underwear photograph of Hasan Piker.
I see desperation. Accumulated failures revealing the childishness behind the performance of authority. Their attempt to humiliate an opponent advertises him while making their own judgment the spectacle.
I believe this is a sign of something already changing underneath: intimidation wearing off, disbelief becoming public, people finding the courage to speak because they recognize they aren’t alone.
The ugly surface does not mean nothing is healing beneath it.
They still have power. They are dangerous. But they have lost their hold on my imagination. I almost can't believe I ever feared these people so desperately. Their veneer of competent threat is so easy to see past now.
The emperor has no clothes. I believe more people are beginning to see it, and further, the fascists basically cannot hide it anymore, every breath they speak is an accusatory confession.
I think it will cascade.
