When I say 'they hate you'
I mean, they want you dead.
They want you gone.
Even if you're white and reading this, I would bet you're not on their side.

I'd bet you don't want that for anyone.
Murderers, maybe. And even they might better serve human kind by living out their example in a cell where they might regret what they've done for the rest of their lives.

Killing someone never saved anyone from dying.

I've always played devil's advocate.
I've always imagined the one exception to every rule, belief, stereotype.

Sometimes the one exception makes the whole system fold.

I've decided it's okay to hate fascists.
It's okay because true fascists are hate itself.

Their greatest wish
is that you didn't exist.

What ironic good could that do for a diverse world that is trying so damn hard to love itself? To take better care of itself?

Literally healing from the past.

To love every part and piece, every skin tone, body shape, ability, sexuality, background, identity, unique story, slice of life - it's antithetical to indulge a group who would destroy all the others.

In fairy tales, or the ones I was told, there's a big bad. An evil. A darkness. Always overcome by Good, but necessary to define what good even means. In older tales and traditions, we need chaos. We need night. Ying and yang. Balance.

Everyone has something worth learning about them, even if it's what not to be.

When we hate fascists, we aren't hating the antisocial kid who no one knows really well or who gets mad too easily, who probably has a frustrating life and difficultly trusting people. A horror movie fan who loves gore. Someone with a fetish for vampires b d s m or who has suicidal thoughts. We aren't hating darkness. We are hating the intent to kill. Intent to physically harm you. We are stopping murder. On both an individual and cultural level.

Whether it's a fascist leader, fascist bro, fascist cop, fascist government official, fascist doctor, teacher, therapist, telemarketer, artist, whatever - we shouldn't sit back and be polite about it. And what was built with hate can be reformed. Look at Disney. Planned Parenthood. America.

Everyone breathing has to eat. They have to live somewhere. That means working. Well you better not be working any fucking job with any goddamn influence over anyone else's life.

What else can we do? Give them DNA tests? Ideally, reeducate them, right? Somehow teach them that we all belong here. Teach them a history they might have never known. But how likely is it that they'll listen? How likely they'd change? Maybe the young ones, but a diehard who has preached nothing but hate for 30 years without a shred of remorse... How else do you deal with a fascist? Wait until we have reason to put them in jail? Killing them only puts blood on our hands. And a beating can easily lead to accidental death. The whole point is that nobody should be dying. Nobody should be forced to live in fear of cruelty.

What makes them a fascist is their desire to physically and systematically destroy people.

In America you're free to be anything as long as that allows everyone else to be free too.

And this entire post is devoid of divide and conquer theory or thoughts on how the entire situation has been manipulated because even if that's true, it's also true that there are few things more worth living for than improving the quality of life for all the different and not-so-different people around you and potentially future generations to come.

Even if our government is an illusion, it's still important that we stop fascism. That we are active in our disgust for their bullshit. That we choose to hate hate. We don't let them hate easily. We know we are right because we are on the side of humanity. We are fighting for each other. For a better life today and tomorrow for everyone. For a day when we no longer have to fight - at least not amongst ourselves. Not the ways we've fought for centuries. Not with the threat of death or pain. Not over this bullshit.

Could you imagine a world where everyone went about their days, their lives, without ever worrying if they're being treated differently because of prejudice, or if they might die just like the guy they read about in the news who had the same skin tone, or if tomorrow the elected president might take all their rights and insurances away. Where we didn't need to waste more time trying to convince people that privilege or fascists are real issues - that they should care and fight back - because, humanity

The future we need.

May all your fights be online because they will trick you into violence. May fascists never win another election. May our holidays, movies, fashions, slang, stories, be diverse. May everyone see a path to their own potential in people who are respected and celebrated by society. Our laws, inclusive and genuinely fair, if we must have them at all. And may those in power be truly on the side of the people.

Universal human rights or everything is bullshit
