A post saying “Please don’t anthropomorphize fascists” just crossed my TL (not linking to avoid dunking), and…as much as I appreciate the snark, I can’t endorse that.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m 100% on board with “Don’t coddle fascists,”“Don’t infantilize fascists,” “Don’t be gentle with fascists.”
Punch fascists, yes please. “Be compassionate” is NOT where I’m going. Where I’m going is “never think it couldn’t be you, or me, or the person next to you.”

@inthehands Also, don't contribute to building dehumanization (social) infrastructure that can then be turned on other groups.
@kechpaja @inthehands This in particular is an urgent message!!! not just a best practice optimal kinda thing.

It is our life’s work. And it is not a binary or absolute thing; we live in systems we cannot fully control, and we cannot make them vanish any more than a fish can remove pollution from the ocean. Total non-participation in harmful systems is impossible! But unlike the metaphorical fish, we have agency to fight the pollution.
