The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The biggest lie being told is that Antifa doesn’t exist.

That doesn't show up on my Lib radar - it must be a radicalized Dope view of "Antifa is an idea." In other words a straw-man-bare-faced-pile-of ... .

SNIP Rutgers professor known as ‘Dr. Antifa’ flees to Europe after petition to remove him

Rutgers professor Mark Bray, known as 'Dr. Antifa,' is moving to Europe and teaching online after receiving death threats following a petition calling for his removal.

The petition, launched by Turning Point USA, accused Bray of promoting 'militant anti-fascism,' while Rutgers said it is reviewing the situation. SNIP

So you are making death threats to the one person who has done a lot of research

Fascism defined - and found in Dr. Bray's book ANTIFA: The Anti-Fascist Handook:

a definition will have to suffice. Paxtor defines fascism as:

... a form of political behavior marked by obsessive pre- occupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints (pursues)goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.
Lemmesee - victimhood, white nationalism, collaboration with elites, abandons democratic liberties, without ethical or legal restraints (pursues)goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

Fits MAGA almost to as T. You need a tad more militancy to achieve your goal, but Jan-6 and prior belligerencies were a good runup.

We need a cliff's notes version of Dr Bray's book to be rendered into memes and tweets for modern consumption.
