I wish us all a good year, a year of refusal of the destructive and dehumanising status quo, a year of live-giving and nurturing, creative and caring resistance.

"Fascism exsts at the level of Stage One within all democratic countries ... "Giving up free institutions," especially the freedoms of unpopular groups, is recurrently attractive to citizens of Western democracies ... seemingly anodyne decisions to tolerate lawless treatment of national "enemies" is enough."

"I find any solution will first have to start with the real story. We need to sit down around the same table and agree on the diagnostic. We need to agree on the genocide. We have to agree on the whole line of history that has been going on for more than 700 years. Otherwise there's no conversation possible. [...]

It's about acknowledging the past and the present because they are strongly connected. We already know enough. The problem is what we do with that knowledge."

Some years ago I tracked down the post where this quote of Frank Wilthoit on conservatisme comes from:

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

It wasn't by Wilthoit the political scientist, who died in 2010, but Wilthoit the composer who wrote it in 2018 as a reply to a Crooked Timber post. In the rest of his reply he gives this solution:

"So this tells us what anti-conservatism must be: the proposition that the law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone, and cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone."

Here's an interview with him and a link to the blog post. His reply is number 26.
