It's a cult. It just so happens that fascism is a kind of cult. Cults pop up in all sorts of circumstances, and capitalism is one of them.

Don't get too excited. They're only mad because Trump fucked with the money.

An RTC that you want to leave on its own for a very long time. Like underwater.

They have tiny current output. Only suitable for a few niche applications. The company's claim to fame is making them cheaper, but don't expect much.

My thought exactly. Most of the "feminists" who do fit that stereotype ended up becoming Feminist Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes.

Prefer the Norman Rockwell version of Rosie the Riviter:

The Norman Rockwell Museum are cowards. The photo crops out the bottom, where she's using Mein Kampf as a footstool.

Because he's not that smart. It's not even a Project 2025 thing, because it's somewhat split on the issue of tariffs. In so far as it supports it at all, it's mostly about working around some free trade treaties and tweaking things here or there. This strong, across the board tariff is entirely his own idea.

Can't argue with that logic. CHECK AND MATE, LIBERAL!

To begin with, Franco was not strictly comparable with Hitler or Mussolini. His rising was a military mutiny backed up by the aristocracy and the Church, and in the main, especially at the beginning, it was an attempt not so much to impose Fascism as to restore feudalism. This meant that Franco had against him not only the working class but also various sections of the liberal bourgeoisie—the very people who are the supporters of Fascism when it appears in a more modern form.

From Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia", emphasizes added.

The bourgeoisie aligning to the resistance has happened before. Now, make no mistake: they will betray the movement as soon as it's in their interests to do so. Don't trust them past the current crisis.
