Was just watching “I’m Still Here”, a film about a family suffering under the Brazilian dictatorship, and one thing not discussed enough about the rise of fascism is: for a lot of people, it’s the perfect chance to unleash hate as a recreational activity. For them, it’s fun.

The other day, the president told a 10-year-old boy rescued by a lifeguard that if he were there, he would have let him drown, and everyone there laughed so hard because that shit is so true.
