Conservatives Use Hitler's Propaganda Playbook to Hardwiring Political Hate, Part 1

We've seen the GOP go all in on autocracy and fascism. We can understand only understand the true danger we face when we realize how easily the language of dehumanization of a group can become hardwired and very difficult to dislodge.

SUMMARY: This blog post begins Ye Olde Blogge’s two part — maybe three, if I’m being honest — exploration of the contemporary conservative movement’s use of Hitler’s propaganda techniques. We’ve discussed this before but there are two important updates to make note of. First, in this post not only will be review the techniques that are being used, but also new psychological findings that suggest…

[crickets chirping – muffled music] Oscar: And you definitely don’t want to go home? [Levi shook his head and rubbed at his eyes, feeling far more vulnerable than he was comfortable with] Robin: His parents aren’t home and I think they’d be kinda like, uh-.. not nice about it, y’know? Levi: My s-sister was gonna babysit me after her curfew at t-ten. Oscar: Okay, well.. how ‘bout we get you checked out first, then you can wait at ours? We can drop you off later like nothing happened, how’s that for a plan-.. Robin? [The knot in Robin’s stomach eased as Levi nodded along with him, swiping at his runny nose with a sodden sleeve] Oscar: Alrighty, let’s go. [Levi stiffened briefly as Oscar easily scooped him up and slung him against his shoulder] Oscar: You okay? [Robin nodded with a faint smile as Oscar ruffled his damp hair] Oscar: You did good, bud. [Robin’s classmate couldn’t help but relax as he clung to Oscar and the warmth that emanated from him, both tangible and not. He might’ve looked scary to begin with but he’d shown Levi more sympathy and compassion in the last five minutes than he’d received from his own family in the last few years] … Oscar: Aren’t you supposed to be retired? Sidney: Aren’t you lucky I’m not! Oscar: Oh, for sure.. heaven forbid another doctor do the exact same job as you. [Sidney scoffed incredulously] Oscar: Really though… Sidney: I’m not bloody well dead yet! I just cover a few casual shifts here n’ there is all. Oscar: Hm-.. better get this guy home n’ properly dry, anyway. Sidney: Yeah, he’ll be alright-.. y’know he’s just as reckless as you, right? Robin: Uh, I’m still here. Oscar: I hear ya! Sid unfortunately has a point though, you shouldn’t-… Robin: Don’t try n’ save someone in oceans or rivers ‘cause the current will get you both, blah blah-.. pools don’t count! Sidney: He’s a smartass like you too.

I have set my fics to be visible for registered users only because of AI scraping. Here is a list of my Clexa fics:

Ceasefire - Complete

When Clarke goes to a sex shop in town to find a hideous gag gift for her friend, the last person she wants to bump into is her nemesis Lexa Woods. Things only heat up from there. Tags: Enemies to lovers, smut, a/b/o dynamics.

the composition of me (through your eyes) - Complete

Music student Lexa meets art student Clarke. Sparks fly, but Lexa's journey to self-acceptance still has a way to go before she's ready to let her guard down. Tags: Slow burn, fluff and angst, mutual pining, hurt/comfort.

Tags: Bodyguard AU, alpha/alpha, a/b/o dynamics, enemies to lovers.

Paracelsus was unironically my first Medb ship ever back in like 2018 because they both create homunculi, and Medb using blood to create her soldiers puts her right in his strike zone

think i might've?? mentioned this before but prior to moving into the T☆S apartment, Silver didn't have a place of his own. he was a bit of a couch surfer and would live with Blaze, Vanilla or sometimes the Chaotix.

he often felt VERY guilty for staying with them so he'd frequently switch, afraid he'd overstay his welcome and thought he was intruding in their space (despite each of them saying its completely fine, he can stay for as long as he likes, he isnt a burden to them)

when he got the opportunity to move into an apartment with Sonic and Shadow it was nice to finally have a place where he knew for sure he was able to stay for good. However it still didn't feel right, he still didn't think he truly earned it.

warmup with miss maia pyxis from @bleaksqueak's hit webcomic solivaga. semi-redraw but not quite of that one panel where she looks like a lost baby deer.

whenever someone asks me for help or advice i want to beam all my lived experience and advice that helped me through it directly into their mind to try and spare them as much pain and stress as possible, but because i cant actually do that what ends up happening is i dump everything i know related to that topic hoping something helps them like

One of the things I’m most excited to see is whether they will change the intro for part 2, because… well… one of the main focuses of the s2.1 intro is, yk, Kai doing rising dragon and the whole thing about the gong of shattering and stuff— to me it just doesn’t match very well to a bunch of tournament episodes.

But they usually don’t change the intro in between seasons, no matter what happens… we’ll have to wait and see

is this anything

On the topic of not assigning human morals to animals, I think we need to talk about how people talk about cuckoo birds is really anthropomorphizing

That's not an evil soulless creatin, that's a baby bird surviving the way it has evolved to. It's not up to you to decide that actually this baby bird deserves to survive and this one doesn't. This is simply how nature is and we should not be assigning our own morality to it.
