So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025.

I will give $1000 to anyone in that room who will yell out "what the fuck are you rambling about, old man?"

‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

Too bad Bezos is involved with them. Not to mention Walter. Pass.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

We can't let magats infest our country. Bondi won't stick and I won't listen to any inbred Hicks that say otherwise.

In my own CSA I didn't get justice, but let's serve it for the victims!

A meme: photo with text. It depicts a laughing department store mannequin with no hair pointing and laughing at another mannequin with no hair who is turned away in visible anguish. Her features are so realistic that the emotion is explicitly conveyed. Her fists are clenched as she fights back the tears. A sighted person might get a visceral reaction from this, as if they felt the pain of the mannequin. Text: "Hey this mf still posts on X!""

Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X! See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

NY Intelligencer headline: "AOC's stumble is a warning to the left"

The brunchlord establishment press hates progressives (especially female) exponentially more than fascism and it's simply not subtle
