Wow!

I think we need to organize, mobilize, protest and occupy the streets to get rid of fascists.

Then more activist action when that isn't enough.

I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.

We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets.

There's a very famous quote from a French movie that says: "Les cons ça ose tout. C'est même à ça qu'on les reconnaît."

In English: "Morons, they do anything they feel like doing. Actually that's how you spot them."

Republicans certainly fit the definition.

The Guardian · Rightwing groups across US push new bans to limit ‘obscene’ books in librariesBy Eric Berger

A live example[^1] why I like the #Lysenkoism reference[^2] to #MAGA even more:

Kennedy recently told Fox News that by letting the highly pathogenic bird flu spread through flocks, farmers could “identify the birds, and preserve the birds, that are immune to it.”

What RFK says is an obvious reference to the pseudo-scientific social darwinism[^3], an idea that is very popular among rich MAGA supporters because it explains why they are rich. What we see here is an unintentionally ironic transposition of the social darwinism from the society onto other aspects of civilisation, in this case food industry.

Why ironic? Because there’s nothing further from the biological evolution than the mass poultry farms, which are one of the primary targets - and causes - of zoonotic diseases such as the bird flu. If RFK actually understood what he’s talking about, he would simply call for letting all the millions of birds free so that they can combat the disease on their own. But then the problem of bird flu would solve itself simply because one of its primary causes is overcrowding and poor sanitary conditions in the arms.

What we’re now seeing in statements like RFK is a really bizarre mix of distorted ideas from actual science, happily mixed and filtered through arbitrary religious beliefs. That is literally what Lysenkoism was all about, except Marxism-Leninism took over the role of religion there.

#ElonMusk's scary chart of social security numbers issued to non-citizens that the MAGAverse is losing their minds over¹ compared to the same chart but with the 4 years prior to covid added for context:

¹ Because they think it means millions of mexicans are collecting social security, which is kind of the exact opposite of what it actually means - these people are going to pay social security and medicare taxes w/no guarantee of ever receiving any benefits

“Without a dedicated agency to champion these programs, millions risk losing the oversight, funding and technical assistance for programs they rely on to live independently.

“…the counterprotest movement that showed up this weekend was peopled mostly by MAGA supporters. Among them were an array of far-right extremists, including members of the Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, a guy dressed as Hitler.”
