Yo: This is what I’m up against. I need all of your help

[beeline]

Brief background:

I really hope I didn’t tip my cards.

I am youngest of 11; myself, an independent thinker that had always voted for the person, never the party

The three Evangelical sisters

One sister that has devolved to a QAnon

Then the liberals. Vegas-buffet style liberals: the engorge themselves in self-righteous, politically-correct crap, and never apply an ounce of critical thinking to anything.

The ComiCon Coup d’Ete of January 6 changed all of that. Shit got real. My sister was there, commingling with Confederate flags, and Nazis, and all manner of fascists. Nazis. Monsters.

I woke up. And Col.Quisp can verify the following:

I began to plan my escape. Parents are dead, siblings suck, mid-divorce, no kids, one chihuahua that can travel with.

I figured, I’d move to the South Pacific, a geographical location that I prefer, because the people share, despite their poverty, they are happy, they are hungry, I like to make food, I like to share, especially my food, I’ve played the stock market well enough, buy low, sell high, Uber on the side:

The whole damn “pandemic” has been nothing but a financial boon to me.

And all of that is true and will happen.

However:

There is evil in this world, and siblings I once thought to be a little off in their fundamentalist beliefs are, in fact, that evil. Sick. Twisted. Manipulative. And finally: I suspect there is abuse; I am certain that my niece was drugged and raped at her brother’s wedding, but it only dawned on me a few days ago. And when I asked, they slipped: it was true.

Which leads me to you all:

I need your help.

I can not possibly do this alone. It is too much. I am too close. And I am trying to get the fuck out of the USA altogether to begin with. For all mentioned above and much more. I’ve got 53 wings to eat and ten minutes to do it. So to speak.

So:

First read this:

https://www.theamericanconservative.com ... cho-march/

That’s what I am up against.

And I think there is SRA going on, too; but I can’t prove it.

It’s just intuitive, I suppose.

Chop, chop.

I need to sleep now.

I love you all, for everything you have done and will do.

Thanks.

beeline


p.s. - I cannot obsess over this. I will only be able to check in every few days, read, and let my brain do the rest.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Well, I had a 4 or 5 paragraph reply for ya, Beeline, but whenever I tried to submit it, I got bumbed out of my account. Test...

Hi, Beeline,

So you wrote the linked article in the American Conservative? It's very good. Righteous. If it's yours, we have differing perspectives, radically so on the matter of what the article identifies as the left. But we certainly agree on the central theses of the article, regarding the independent reality of what I call movement fascism in the United States, the evangelical extremism you focus on, and the significance of the January 6th events, as clownish as they appeared. These are not the product of a hidden plot but of the openly stated intentions of the actors involved. These are the artifact of a mistaken perception. January 6th was the last move in an months-long attempted coup d'etat by the president and his faction against the legislature and the legal forms of the republic (such as it is). The action on January 6th was conducted by the president who lost the election, directing a mob he invited to shut down the Capitol. They in turn had been enlisted and recruited largely through movement fascist organizations, and the presidential messaging by Twitter served as the primary means of coordination.

There is no disguising, misrepresenting, or trivializing the self-evident reality. It was denied by the perpetrators themselves, but only after its predictable failure. Beforehand, they bragged about what they wanted to do. Afterward, they pretended they had nothing to do with it.

This shows a will to do much worse. I am not one to say that, because the system sucks and is heading us all for terminal catastrophe, therefore anyone aspiring to burn down the Reichstag and make everything worse is okay and relatable.

If you say that movement fascism is real and dangerous and must be acknowledged and fought, we are in unison. At the same time, and I'm not including your article in this since you do not mention it, I differ and distinguish from those who say that movement fascism -- usually they use a more vague term, like 'right-wing populism' -- are the main or even sole major problem in the U.S., and that the solution is corporate Democrats and non-party technocrats of the global ruling class bringing more polite management to the neo-neo-neoliberal planetary death machine and the transition to 'fourth industrialism'. That's a certain recipe for the next generation of Things Get Even Worse. Furthermore, when fascists and 'right wing populists' find establishment allies or useful idiots in a crisis, these will be the so-called (right-wing) liberals, not the leftists who actually identify, reject and fight fascism. We've seen this over and over, for example in how the votes go in legislatures whenever the open right-wing is in power.

All this being said, while you have outlined an ongoing and seemingly political crisis with your relatives in very broad terms, it's rather unclear just what you expect this help you wish to enlist here on R.I. is going to be. You probably should clarify that. And it's doubtful very much other than words of encouragement can be provided out of this venue, though perhaps you may find people who can give the help you are looking for.

Best,
JR

I think by linking that article, beeline is saying this is what his relatives support. I may be wrong.
