    Oh my God, we’ve finally yelled at Americans on the internet enough that after A H U N D R E D F U C K I N G Y E A R S conservatives are vaguely aware that there’s some linguistic difference!

    It does work, guys!

      They get confused because they’re so used to conflating capitalism with fascism, because that’s what they want fascism but call it capitalism to make it more palatable. Fortunately they’re utterly shit at selling the idea.

      Last year there was the national conservatives conference, attended by right wing nut cases the world over, and it was like attending in 1920s Nazi rally. That’s not hyperbole, it was literally like that, the same fat idiots vaguely wondering around without a clue what they were espousing, interspersed with the occasional bright spark who was actually pushing it all.
