Reminder to US activists and bloggers in these fucked up times: 

Canada, Australia, Europe, etc. all have their own fascists trying to take power right now. Pretty much all of them are just as terriffying as Trump. At the same time we’re got a lot of our own horrible government-imposed shit already going on. Please do NOT put us forward as examples of nice progressive countries with great health care and human rights. It’s bullshit and it makes it really difficult for us to draw attention to our own very real problems. 

Reminder to

Europeans, Canadians, etc

in these fucked up times: 

Don’t let the US-centrism of the online world get to you. Don’t use Trump as an excuse to convince yourself that things are not so bad here. Don’t close your eyes to the dangers of fascism and capitalism in your own country. Just because your own home grown flavor of fascism doesn’t deny climate change or doesn’t focus on banning abortion doesn’t mean they’re not just as brutal and just as dangerous.
