I am so upset by articles like this, but the saddest part is that they’re needed. Months ago a professor who studies fascism fled the country due to rising fascism. There were articles about it. I sent them to family and friends in an attempt to warn them about what was coming. Some did listen, but there are so many people we will have to pick up along the way and “meet where they’re at”. I wish all articles like this were “I’m a huge idiot and was horribly wrong and will devote myself to fixing this now”, but in reality that helps no one. I can keep sending out articles like this and since it’s not “wow! I and by extension you were a dumb idiot” people may feel like maybe realizing it now is smart and can have their minds changed. I would appreciate a better note at the end, once the reader may be swayed, that was about what to do going forward and how to learn to listen, but it is what it is.
Oh well now that YOU say it, king of the obvious, now we are allowed.
You know, Start by saying you’re fucking sorry for being an idiot. Because that’s what you’re actually reporting.
