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'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't think it's conscious. i think they'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't want to spend any more of my saturday morning on this
