Queer Like The Slur on Nostr: If you know nothing about the situation and you hear 100 people say this one guy has ...

If you know nothing about the situation and you hear 100 people say this one guy has silly hair and one person say this guy is a fascist, you're going to assume the main objection people have to this guy is his hair.

I reckon influential fascists know this and that's why they choose to have such silly hair (+outfits, makeup, voices, etc). They know they can draw comment away from what they're doing, onto the farcical nature of their physical presence. Not only does this drown out comment about their actual actions, it makes their detractors seem petty, with primarily aesthetic priorities.

Next time you go to make a comment about how a fascist looks tacky, please, for me, stop and think 'would it be better if I pointed out how much of a fascist they are?'
