Seriously, I made overtly anti-fascist comments on a politicalmemes post that are getting downvoted...

For what it's worth, you're spot on and I gave you my upvote lol

But yeah, the resistance to the truth in favour of temporary comfort is quite scary to watch as it unfolds live in front of our eyes, but that just means we have to say it louder.

Thank you! And very frightening, we absolutely need to keep repeating it and louder in this sea of propaganda. Though it seems history will repeat itself, and "comfortable"/ignorant people won't budge until they are all personally affected and suffering themselves.

Yup, "first they came for..." seems as relevant as ever, it's almost like we never learn (more like are deliberately kept ignorant and just comfortable enough to benefit the ruling class).
