Silence Equals Violence:

The discussion centers on a provocative analysis by Coyote Ri titled “The Seeds of Fascism,” published on January 27, 2026. The analysis argues that fascism is practiced and refined on marginalized groups before being applied to the general population. It uses historical and contemporary examples, such as the George Floyd protests, the opioid crisis, and the Patriot Act, to illustrate how state violence and indifference have evolved. The conversation highlights the dangers of ignoring marginalized communities’ struggles, the potential for total control through surveillance and military action, and the need for solidarity and intersectional resistance to prevent future atrocities.
