    Perhaps a European ideal of Libertarianism. US liberal politics is a facade of good will to hide the same pro-corporate agenda pushing that the other party does while hiding behind a facade of moral vitriol. US libertarians believe in enforcing one’s own freedoms with force rather than relying on government force to defend your rights. US leftists have no political base in our elections, by design.













  • Read the book please… The trillogy* is on Audible. Some truly terrifying stuff. Like, >!living in a dying universe that was once an infinite garden because of the dark forest attacks that flattened spacetime into fewer dimensions, which could happen again.!<

    *the last book (or some 4th book, I forgot) isn’t written by Chixen Liu, but they liked it so much they wrote off on publishing it in the series as a means to wrap up some critical questions.

    That mentality is surely broader than fascism itself. You see it in any hypernationalist state. Rome had “the barbarians.” The British Empire had “the savages.” Nazi Germany had “the jews.” There is always an “other” when the state needs it. Unless you’re painting a broader form of fascism, perhaps.
