would love to hear anyone who likes Red Scare defend the decision to interview Steve Bannon. care to explain how they are anything more than just cryptofascists

a lot of my mutuals and friends defend or enjoy those two and it& #39;s just mystifying to me how anyone can stand the combination of nonsense pseudointellectual thesaurus-abusing takes, left-punching, and platforming fascists

i should clarify: saying "cryptofash" may imply that they have conscious intent in smuggling in fascist ideology. i don& #39;t think it& #39;s conscious. i think they& #39;re so amoral and vapid that they end up acting like reactionaries

this is what happens when your politics revolves around aesthetics and status-jockeying

muting this now because i don& #39;t want to spend any more of my saturday morning on this
