As the IRA put it to Thatcher, you need to be lucky every day. We only need to be lucky once.

I used to argue with an ex about fascism being more of an aesthetic than an ideology and I still think I'm right about this. Its incoherence and chaos have led to its ruin historically, over and over again. It's the one thing that gives me hope.

I used to post about politics here a lot more; now I just assume that everyone is getting their news from elsewhere, but given the unreliability of elsewhere, maybe I should start doing that more.
