I don't know much about polyamory
just that I love several people
at the same time.
It's not that hard, really:
have you ever loved both your parents?
all of your children?
more than one beloved pet?
It's a lot easier to dismiss people
than it is to actively hate them.
Don't let them be individuals to you;
dehumanise them, make them scapegoats
for all the ills you can't control.
Lost a war? Blame the Jews.
Don't want to do menial tasks?
deem a whole caste of people as 'untouchable.'
Need to feel superior?
Divide people by skin colour.
Need to divert attention from mismanagement?
Decide that one part of the population
is responsible for all the nation's troubles
and demonise the LGBT community.
Wait, did I already say that one?
Yes. They're all the same solution
to the systemic insecurity
of Fascism.
