Look they both don't fall far from the shit tree, but the political philosophy nerd in me still does think there's some key points of difference. And these points of difference are useful in recognising and responding to fascist ideology because it's inherently parasitic and spreads by latching itself onto other ideas. That's why you can have things like eco-fascism and atheist fascism, which don't traditionally align with conservatism. Umberto Eco actually outlines the specifics of fascism and how it's a uniquely shitty ideology that can work it's way into any dark corner of complex human societies.

Yeah but he didn't incite an insurrection like Trump did.

Covid killed a lot of people - millions of them. It's not a war, but Trump's management of covid resulted in a lot of unnecessary deaths.

Not an American but Trump was far more embarrassing to your international reputation than Bush. They're both 2 of the worst presidents you've ever had but Trump is a whole different level of shitty. He's like fascist shitty, whereas Bush was neo-con shitty.

Normalcy bias for sure. Just like at the start of covid.

And the part where she didn't think their behaviour was racially or politically motivated. Like, they're fucking nazis...it's all racially and politically motivated.

I've watched always sunny in philadelphia so many times it's hard to imagine Philly as being super clean. But that's super interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences

I am 100% fine with paying more for my food to be delivered if it means these workers get better rights. Solidarity forever.

What was your favourite city?

There's currently 5 bushfires burning around my state and it's only mid spring in the southern hemisphere. Last year we experienced devastating floods across the country on a scale we've never seen before. A few years before that we had one of the worst bushfire seasons in history.

Look I'd love to see it but this industry doesn't work like other industries. It's about punishing and bullying the poor for daring to exercise their human right to welfare. In this case, being a compassionate, conscientious and professional worker will likely result in you not being good at this job.

These provider arrangements are one of the biggest wastes of taxpayer money. They're nothing but glorifed parole officers that police the poor. Get rid of mutual obligations and divert the funding for JSPs to raising the rate of jobseeker payments.
