we must maintain vigilance, so we don’t allow ourselves to become victims of what i am calling the degradation of normality. which is to say the degradation of what we consider good, what we hold dear as our principles & integrity. it is easy, in the overwhelm tactic of fascism, to lose ourselves in time, into a fog of unawareness & indifference, allowing the destruction of our institutions & immense harm towards others. we wake up one day saying it is okay for a particular group to be targeted (for whatever the offered reason) as if we’ve taken a great gulp from a cup of amnesia, forgetting what history has taught us – that fascism’s appetite doesn’t stop with one group. there is an exercise we can do regularly as an antidote to such poison. it is the exercise of empathy. how would we feel if we or our loved ones were targeted? it is an important, vital exercise, because with fascism, eventually one day it will be our loved ones & us.
