For the past few days, an idea has been swishing around in my brain: Could we create a wiki to track fascism in the US, aswell as give advice on how to resist (or stay safe from) it? I feel much more could be accomplished with a community driven wiki then an app or website that summarizes executive orders/goals of project 2025. Im most interested in tracking how different actions connect to create something much more dangerous then the actions on their own (for example: pornography being criminalized combined with labeling trans people as pornography) creating guides for effective and safe protest, HRT access, fleeing the US, etc, and archiving leaked US memos.
I have mediawiki experience, and could definitely set up something for this, thing is, a wiki like what is suggested above would only be helpful if it had active contributers. So before advertising it anywhere else, I would like to see how much interest there is for a wiki, as well as potential problems and suggestions.
Decentralize the shit out of this, please. Make sure their tech-heads know that the document itself is unkillable. It’ll always pop up somewhere else.
This is a fantastic idea, at least in some form.
The category of information could stand as much defining as possible. I like where it’s going, laying out lies and dog whistles and incorrectly defined terms.
The first column in a table is labeled “reality”, in black lettering, and it says, for example, “I will underpay you and you will sing my praises for it”, and the second column is labeled “fascist lie”, with words written in red, and in red letters it says “personal responsibility”. Lead with the truth. Eye is drawn to the truth, so maybe red is bad if it draws the eye, even though it’s also the color for “incorrect”. These are the choices that matter.
You could refine those substitutions to make a little fascist translator. Maybe re-write key lines of relevant speeches in translated form.
Just riffing. Whatever it becomes, make sure you state the facts in a way where you actually communicate them, as opposed to some idiot headline like “jd vance says (random lie)”, helping the lie instead of helping the truth.
Very much like this idea, in a lot of variations.
My inclination is, focus up. You’ll have sticking power through focus more than being an all in one shop. Maybe. If you feel a strong pull otherwise, then maybe not.
