    Post-fascism likes to appropriate the aesthetics of common anti-fascism, to fool the common people, for which the best example probably is Putin’s Russia, especially for its infamous crusade against “Ukrainian nazis”.

    Fascists are all about hypocrisy. It is a way to dominate and show you are above the rules. The rules are for sheep, not lions, to remain in the lexicon of another famous bald fascist shithead.

    “But he does it too” is losing messaging. You are basically doing his marketing for him. “Stephen Miller is a weird little tantrum prone fascist loser” is much better.

      100% I don’t know why this didn’t sink in with people on the left a long fucking time ago. I don’t think pointing out hypocrisy is necessarily a bad idea as long as you’re not pointing it out with the expectation that doing so will make them change their behavior.

      Just my opinion, but anything you can do to:

      1. Not play into their made up victimhood narrative

      2. Draw attention to the fact that they’re whiny little titty babies (which usually happens by default when you do 1) is a winning strategy.

    The nazi Stephen Miller has a problem with being called a fascist? Maybe he shouldn’t be such a fucking fascist, then.

    When I criticize my baby, he looks me in the eyes and asserts dominance with a “what you gonna do about it?” shit grin.

    Comparing him to Stephen Miller is just offensive.
