The biggest sin of the American government was failing to hang every single confederate sympathizer. The problems only cascade from there.
This is where I am at where MAGA is concerned. It would be a crimson lining to a 2nd American Civil War, where I and others can free our society of Nazi kindred for good. IMO, the 1% of America are very likely to sympathize with the Confederates, because they believe that slavery of the poors is the natural state of things.
The problem is how do you find them all? You never will since some of them are smart enough not to advertise how vile they are. And as long as a few of them still exist they'll multiply and spread their shitty philosophy.
An anonymous internet allows Nazis to connect with each other without fear of social or legal consequences, thereby raising their confidence in/dedication to their ideology.
It’s certainly not on a par, but the same thing happens with weird kinks- I have one I probably would have forgotten about if it weren’t something that I then found online. Instead, because I saw that it wasn’t just me, I had the confidence to tell partners about it. And it was only because I found queer online communities that I was able to explore my gender identity and sexuality in the same way.
I absolutely support an open and anonymous internet, I just don’t know if there’s a way to stamp out bigotry and fascism while having one.
Or rather, I know how to do it, I just don’t know if we can. The answer is absolute solidarity among non bigots against anonymous bigots: cancel your contracts with platforms that host fascists or bigots, tell them and everyone else why, and get others to do the same.
Of course, at this point there are enough of them to have their own economy, so it’s not going to work now. This is more like the wound care to prevent a recurrence of the infection, instead of the infection treatment itself.
That metric can said of just about anything regarding beliefs. The important thing is reducing the number of MAGA to levels where their beliefs can't really propagate anymore. The keys to that lies in eliminating the 1% as a class, by reducing wealth gaps and maintaining them at lower levels as an institution. This would require huge reforms, along the lines of the Magna Carta and the American Constitution, but for economics.
The 1% wield immense political power, because they hoard dynastic wealth and influence and can use it as a club against society. That is why they are the lynchpin of conservative projects, and so they must be removed as a factor, if a better society is to be fostered.
You don't need to kill every wolf to protest the village, you just need to kill enough that the wolf learns the village is a death sentence. The smart one's will always still be in the woods and when one slips they'll remind the rest why they hide there.
Should have let Sherman finish the job.
