Did you even read the ~~fucking~~ article?

Based on the historical record, there are exactly three ways this goes. Option one: Stop them before they take power. Option two: War. Option three: Wait for them to die of old age.

As far as doomerism goes, he outlines several possible avenues to stop things that require us getting off our “comfy couch”.

If the success rate is zero then how does he have successful attempts to pull these tactics from? Maybe don't sensationalize a headline for clicks.

Is the headline clickbait? Sure. I’m not defending that. Guess the author could have incorporated this into the headline:

Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically.

Feels like these are a bunch of nitpicks that distract from the main point of the article - that we need to act urgently and drastically to hope to stop this before fascists consolidate power.

A clickbait headline means you are bullshitting me right from the start.
