    Fascism isn’t a guy you can shoot at. It’s a social disorder, and the best food for it is an inability of people to organise, to trust each other, to form communities that will recognise attempts of autocrats to usurp the power and to take your democracy away. And among the instruments of this social erosion is this fundamental fear people have of each other. Fear that exacerbated by ubiquity of guns, in part caused by it, and made substantially worse by it. Fascists want you to think in a framework of personal violence, they want you to dream about getting into direct fights, because that’s their whole world, that’s where they thrive. When they come to your house to throw you to jail for thoughtcrime, they want you to respond with shooting your gun at them. What they don’t want is for you to be connected to your neighbors, to your social group.

    Are you unaware of WW2?

    Are you by any chance a country in Europe in the middle of 20 century? Because if not, the WW2 isn’t an applicable example.

    This isn’t a healthy society.

    Yeah, for example y’all are too obsessed with guns
