Fascists are going to lose.

That's what fascists do. It's who they are. Losers.

Casting your lot with fascist losers makes you a fascist loser, too. It's the transitive property of fascist losers.

To Root Out Wokeness in the Course Catalog, This Texas University Is Turning to AI “The AI was upset with my use of the phrase ‘women's rights movement.’”

“School officials have created a Microsoft Copilot prompt to review course descriptions with an eye toward avoiding ‘advocacy-oriented or prescriptive terms.’”
