Scrolling through twitter feeds and every time something about the war comes up I keep see these accounts with similar profile pictures: meme dog wearing army clothing. It’s the same dog but different clothes. All these accounts had the same hyper pro-Ukraine tweets and spreading the dehumanization of Russians.

There is a lot of blatant and explicit depravity being posted about this war and people are following it enthusiastically. It looks like more 4chan shit but “normal” people are getting in on it. Fascism does grow slowly and now those who thought they’d never fall for something so insidious are playing right into their hands.

Do people not remember that one of the tactics fascists use is scapegoating and justifying the violence against certain people. There’s also the supremacy and glorifying of the military. How many posts about have we seen about Zelensky supposedly on the front lines and people paying to have their names on bombs thrown at Russians. Now I’m seeing more and more people not only hating Putin (which, okay, I’m not fond of him either) but demonizing the Russian population as a whole.

I do wonder what the moderates and libs will say if shit starts to really hit the fan. “How could this happen? We had no idea! I can’t believe it’s happening again!”

You’d think more would’ve learned. I’m really hoping it doesn’t get to that point; third times a charm, I guess…
