So when I see trite jokes about why the US is so openly fascist, trying to connect it to something that happened this century and completely devoid of the context of the entire founding of the nation, treatment of Natives/Indigenous folks, and refusing to give up nationalism, it’s kind of maddening.

And the thing about nationalism is, especially when combined with capitalism, you are pretty much guaranteed a fascist outcome.

And because everyone treated fascism like racism [β€œNazis hate Jewish people”, and β€œI don’t see colour”], there are far too many who don’t know what fascism actually is.

So countries, for the most part, gave up nationalism.

Except, the US.

The US decided that they would not give up nationalism or propaganda. They doubled down.

By the time WWII was nearing its end, every major nation was engaging hard in nationalist propaganda.

When the war was over, and everyone took a look around, they decided that nationalism, in particular propaganda, was far too dangerous.

Hence the birth of the β€œinternational style”.

shaming.

At a time when it was humiliating to be German due to repercussions of WWI, he brought out the nationalist propaganda. He made it ok for folks to feel proud of being German again.

Yes, at the expense of everyone who didn’t fit his ideal: LGBQT, Roma, Jewish folks, communists, etc.

So, in the history of art and design class I took years ago, we looked at how propaganda shaped the outcome of WWI.

In particular, how Hitler expressly felt that the nationalism in British propaganda was incredibly effective and one of the things he attributed to Germany’s loss and subsequent

This is impossible because Jack Smith wasn't named special prosecutor until AFTER the raid at Mar-a-Lago.

Aww bittersweet to see this today.

Our friend who passed away last week was really hoping to see one more stage show with @tim0theos.bsky.social as Frank-N-Furter.

We were close to having a stage show this year, but medical stuff meant I didn’t have capacity to take on planning.

My friend Stevie White Magpie is a Lakota grandmother who lives in Box Elder, SD. She's been raising her 3 grandkids and last week her daughter died in a car crash, so now she's raising 4. She needs help with food and clothes for them, if anyone is able.

I've been busy as heck this week and haven't had time to keep up on this. So the partner just paid another $500 toward our rent. I got paid on thurs and paid $100 toward our electric and $300 toward the car payment. But we desperately need to get this funded.
