    I think all fascism is a mental illness.

    Luckily, there is a treatment, as demonstrated by one of its most famous sufferers. It can even be self administered!

      I’m all for suicide jokes, but equating fascism with mental illness is taking the joke too far.

        More like a plague, but it is. It is genuinely a sickness.

        Edit: fascists are not well, and should not be allowed to make decisions.

          Neurodivergent people should be allowed to make decisions. Fascists should be shot. That’s the difference.

            Sure, because theyre a danger to the rest of us, it’s incurable, and they’re in terrible suffering. And also because it’s funny.
