Of all things, I've been thinking about the Crash Course videos of late, popular educational videos that a lot of teachers use John Green's computer says "this machine kills fascists" Maybe the center left shouldn't have made messages about killing fascists cool and vogue-ish
@MrDanielBuck You know what’s ironic? John Green said in a recent podcast episode that he regrets displaying the sticker. He regrets it because he feels computers have done more to normalize and spread fascism than to defeat it. Case in point: your tweet, which excuses & protects fascism.
@MrDanielBuck Can John Greene even give a coherent definition of Fascism beyond “someone I don’t like” ?
@MrDanielBuck I disagree. As a US History teacher I would definitely say that the Battle of the Bulge was pretty fucking cool. Churchill called it the biggest American victory in WW2. Fuck fascists then and fuck them now.
@MrDanielBuck So happy that I have never used his videos in my classes.
@MrDanielBuck Whaaa? What a nothing-burger bros. First, hes not labeling anyone a fascist. 2, we praise American GIs for killing fascists. 3, as has been said it’s. Guthrie reference.
@MrDanielBuck The reference is to a famous guitar. If you know, you know.
@MrDanielBuck Maybe the right shouldn't have embraced fascism 🤷🏻♀️
@MrDanielBuck Reference to Woody Guthrie. He had it written on his guitar.
