    Early 20th century Italian fascists had a popular slogan “Me ne frego”, meaning “I don’t care”.

    People don’t really change.

    The most accurate thing about this is the liberal allowing the fascist to get on its back in the first place.

    Because, you know, it would just be SO RUDE not to.

    And Leftists see the Liberals as the scorpion.

    Turns out when people stop benefiting from society, they don’t care what happens to it.

    And no, an oppressive police state who kills anyone who gets too poor or upset is not a “benefit” of that society. And when that’s all the system has left, you can’t blame people for not giving a shit.

      I see them as the frog. The stupid fucking frog that knows the scorpion’s nature but gives him a free ride anyway.
