I love #MichaelRosen and his writing.
In his poem, "Fascism: I sometimes fear..." (2014), Michael says:
[fascism] doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."
I understand what he's saying, that the appealing side of fascism is what gets it's proponents elected.
However, #Trump and others are now saying the bad part out loud.

Cynicism is easy. It asks nothing of you or the world. Cynicism delights in despair.
Hope is brave. Hope takes work. Hope makes you take responsibility for doing your part, however small, to steer the world toward where it should be.
Do something brave. Have hope. And then do your part.
It's #FediBookFair weekend! All weekend, authors will be posting about books and related topics. Follow the hashtag to find new authors to follow, and books to read or buy as Christmas presents.
If this doesn't sound like fun, filter the hashtag. But if it does, please boost so that more people can join us.
We will boost as many posts as we can, and we encourage others to do the same.
As much as I wish to switch away from JS bloated stuff, I am too scared to switch away and rely too much on all of it.
I've had beepy on my radar, and I have always wanted one / have had plans to make a personal hackable PDA more inline with what I understand as the WiPhone (just learnt of it).
Currently planning on turning my old phone into a linux device, but my laziness knows no bouds :^/
