You try not to talk to them at all. Who knows what side anyone is on. Every day is the same. Every person is the same. Except when the war (there’s always a war) gets really bad, or comes too close, and then the fear, the hatred, the violence is even closer to the surface, and you hide yourself even deeper.
You think you should be brave and fight for your freedom, but you’re alone, with no one to trust, and no one you can open up to.
That is fascism.

I come from a fascistic state. I can tell you exactly what it looks like. Everybody’s terrified. All of the time. Some are terrified of the government, but most are terrified because of government propaganda. Every person who’s strange in any way is a threat to be eliminated. Violence is everywhere bubbling just under the surface. Everywhere are calls for unity. You keep your divisive thoughts to yourself. You become a jumble of secrets >> @blackmastodon
hiding behind a conformist façade. You lie to everyone. Your parents, your loved ones. No one must know you’re different. There’s always an emergency. You don’t have time to relax. There’s no time for maintenance, for taking care of yourself or others because the threat is ever present and always takes priority. You work all the time because work is always in a state of emergency as well. You don’t talk to your colleagues about politics. >>
