fascism lacks the true power of awareness, so it depends on lies, division, oppression, violence, & fostering despair. this leads to immense harm. it’s a hell. but even in hell we the capacity & responsibility as best we can to embody love for a world in need, to look at the patterns that led to such harm & do the difficult work of undoing them and planting new – different seeds for a more beneficial future.

we can choose differently than fascism in our own lives, recognizing & living in awareness of our interdependence. living in truth, empathy, kindness, tenderness, compassion. this can be our practice in such times.

this also is a form of resistance to fascism.
