    PSA: When they release heavily redacted files, and you see some Nazi on the internet say “actually technically they did release the files”, do not give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity - and American fascists are not adequately explained by stupidity. At this point it’s simply stupid to believe they’re acting in good faith.

      They’ve not acted in good faith the entire time

      I hate that rule, it has caused so much harm, and is at least part of the reason why were in this mess right now. People simply didn’t take the threat seriously

      Besides, does it even matter? Whether someone does harm by stupidity or malice, you get them the hell out of a position or power by any means possible, clearly it’s not good for them to be there
