I know I am in a bit of a dark place, but I need a place to doompost. I am slowly realizing that fascism is unbeatable as an ideology, ugh and where to start?

First off, conservatives remain unbeatable in the culture wars despite being the aggressor. All I ever wanted was to be allowed to mind my own business in peace, but the masses always need to target and harass me just because I'm different. Every day I am constantly told by the media, by the internet cool kids, and just from normal people that "Liberal bad, conservative good" ad nauseum. That I should be treated like dirt for not being white or straight. Sure, you'll see the odd pride flag, but that is pretty much social suicide and is an easy way to get marked as a pariah.

Speaking of culture wars, fascists clearly have the people on their side. Twitter, and most of social media is completely unusable because it's a hog hellhole. Don't even bother trying to talk to them, no matter how many scientific studies prove the races are equal or whatever, I've found that they don't want to hear it, they'll think of a smart-alecky insult to call you, and they automatically win. . IRL is full of hogs too, any time politics gets involved, it's only the CHUDs that talk. I don't talk because I really don't want to get beat up.

  • Finally, we are totally outmatched by them. They have been stockpiling weapons, they have been training for decades before I was ever born. Look, I'm just an absolute scrub, I don't really like my odds.

EDIT: I've taken out a good deal of the unproductive defeatism.

    The American right-wing isn't as tough as they make themselves out to be. They're armed to the teeth but are completely helpless when the nearest Wal-Mart isn't around to supply them with their needs. They also aren't in the greatest shape from what I've seen.

      Yeah, this is the reality. My Trump supporting neighbor took his stupid Trump flag down and he is pretty sheepish now. Once the fists start flying, they curl up in a ball and cry.

      Also, I think that material conditions are gonna force people to see solidarity as the only way forward just as a survival instinct. Humanity is cooperative BY NATURE.

      Already people can see clearly that sharing housing and having each other's backs against Karens and employers is effective, if difficult. It's self evident.
