Even if I gave you the benefit of the doubt (which you clearly have not earned), what does any of this have to do with the Trump administration being run by fascists?
You're going to have to make much sounder, more substantive arguments than this if you want this discussion to continue. I don't see you lasting long here. |
This is the real problem, how do you break through FOX / MAGA indoctrination and propaganda.
It has been going on since Bush jr at least, sowing divide between democrats and republicans, which is all there is now for many in the USA. With everything going on people still blame it all on the other party. The locked binary party system, which is really just a show since the billionaire class is in control of both, is what led us here. Powerful lobbies run the states while the illusion of democracy keeps people divided.
Next to that we now see why unions are important, only a general strike can force the government to back down without further violence. Yet US lobbying made sure to bust unions and made them deeply unpopular through propaganda. Where the people have the power to fight back in for example France and Italy through unions, in the US that 'tool' has been carefully stripped and taken away.
So it looks like the US is as much doomed as Israel when it comes to the people solving the moral decline leading to apathy and eventually genocide. In Israel the many decades of propaganda have normalized genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid. Now it has all come back to the US. Cheering on attacking other countries, ignoring international law, might is right, brown / different is wrong.
ICE now has over 70,000 people rounded up in their detention facilities (concentration camps). 70-75% of them with no criminal history, contradicting the lies they would be focusing on the worst of the worst.

23 people have died in ICE custody since the start of the Biden administration.
Yes that is the Biden administration, Red vs blue, it's the same fucking outcome. Yet people refuse to see what's behind it all even though the Epstein files are right there to reveal it. But those have been turned into a red vs blue tool as well. It started with the 2000 elections, red states vs blue states and has only been getting worse since then.
I always wondered why ordinary Germans let Hitler go through with everything he did. I can now see in real time how it happens.
Niemöller got one thing wrong though
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
There will always be a group of people left defending the regime out of greed, ignorance or deep held hatred of the 'other side'. Doesn't matter who they come for, the ones they don't come for (yet) will be cheering them on regardless.
People don't learn from history while the propaganda and tools of destruction only become more deadly. Humanity is doomed.
If the USA / civilization in general survives this period, Nineteen Eighty-Four should become required reading material in school with full links to how it describes recent history.
