So there is some finesse here. The difficult task in containing latent fascism is knowing how to react to it. Too harsh and you feed it. Too soft and it grows.

But this is absolutely true and everyone must know it:

You aren't going to have to eventually confront fascism.

It is simply the truth that it is always there to be confronted.

All of us. All societies. For all time.

It's always bubbling under the surface. And it
must be confronted.

Early, or it grows.

And claims innocence.

Happy #MemorialDay

For all those who gave their lives in the previous struggle against
#fascism.

Let us make sure it was not in vain, and that we learn from their sacrifices.

for everyone in the world

at a moment of historical clarity, an inspired piece of propaganda

#fascism rises: divide and conquer with hate, while regular folks go "just crazy talk"
