Just wait until I list some other things that weren’t legal not that long ago. I’m sure it will convince the group that all those things are actually bad.

octopus_ink@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Texas governor buys billboards warning migrants they'll be raped if they illegally cross borderEnglish24·9 months agoBecause we now have more than adequate evidence that just voting on our own isn’t enough. We need to be putting our energy into local organizing and canvassing (believe me, I have no idea how I’m going to make room for that in my life either), and doing everything we can to get everyone we know who ISN’T a racist, unempathetic bigot to vote.
DID NOT VOTE was the actual winner of both the 2016 and 2024 elections.

First time?
If you make cops run, they will at least fuck you up. If you’ve given them anything at all they can use to justify deadly force (like driving through a mall) and made them run, you are never seeing a trial. You’ve given them the emotional motive and procedural excuse they need.

octopus_ink@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Steve Bannon Says U.S. Has to ‘Increase Taxes on the Wealthy’ Even if They ‘Start Squealing’English121·9 months agoGiven the basic implausibility of the horseshoe theory, why do so many centrist commentators insist on perpetuating it? The likely answer is that it allows those in the centre to discredit the left while disavowing their own complicity with the far right. Historically, it has been “centrist” liberals – in Spain, Chile, Brazil, and in many other countries – who have helped the far right to power, usually because they would rather have had a fascist in power than a socialist.
Today’s fascists have also been facilitated by centrists
Same place happens to have a much newer article that concludes much the same.
Horseshoe models should be scrutinised for what they put in and what they choose to leave out. They emphasise values such as individualism, free markets and moderate policies, but register few of the social inequalities, exploitation and structural violence that often accompany them.
So while the left–right spectrum isn’t perfect, bending it into a horseshoe doesn’t do much to explain the strange political bedfellows of our times.
I think it’s roundabout the time we’d all processed what Luigi did and the guillotine memes and comments took off enough to move the needle.
