The madness on the Right has grown to the point where if you go out and murder a couple of protesters in the street you’ll have a product endorsement waiting on you from one of the many companies profiting off fascistic appeals.
It’s hard to describe how dangerous of an escalation this is. It’s not only an approval, it’s a call for escalations and for other vigilantes to get in on the action. It’s like if the GOP started giving prime time speaking slots to mass shooters.
Now it’s not only a rhetorical embrace, it’s about economic incentives. Radicalized, alienated young men will now see a reality where murder is a means of duty to an ideology and for economic transcendence. That is...unfathomably dangerous.
