The result will be Alex’s normal response – throw baby tantrums because he’s a loser little titty baby, pathetically try and create viral moments to try and maintain his internet mythos and capture views/attention. And the media will cover him irresponsibly. That’s the cycle. 19/24
Just know this: Alex is a fucking loser. Fascists have no loyalty. No ideology besides “I’m being wronged and SOMEONE has gotta pay”. The grifters will continue selling the laziest, easiest answer. Alex will try and capture media attention by saying and performing wild shit. 20/24
The conspiracy world will intensify in more and more outright hate. More blatant antisemitism and racism. More lazy answers to monetize ignorant ass hats and scare them into buying nutrient-fortified bone broth or whatever. Be prepared for that. Call it out. Hate is unpopular. 21/24
The answer is to celebrate intellectualism. Prevention by cutting the legs out of lazy, easy answers. Plug Professor Dave. Plug Milo Rossi. Plug Flint Dibble. Listen to podcasts like Knowledge Fight. Make fun of Joe Rogans of the world who empower purveyors of these lazy, easy answers. 22/24
Celebrate having nuanced opinions. Celebrate being informed on shit. Like, actually informed. Take back the “doing my own research” from those dumb assholes. Go fuck a smart person. If they don’t have books, don’t fuck’em. 23/24
And subscribe to the physical paper copy of @theonion.com Fascism demands to be taken seriously. Don’t. 24/24

This is an excellent read
