      I mean they are rounding up people and building / built camps, so…… I mean there wasn’t much time left and now there is even less.

        but they didn’t win in the 1930s here and we won the civil war before

        “the us was always nazi” no the US always had slavers but

        there is a difference between “put down a slavers rebellion” and nazi Germany

        the US has been somewhat better than autocratic dissent genocides

        the propaganda about how the US was always a fascist state is a factual error as well as a propaganda error.

        it’s not merely that people need something to believe in, it’s that if you believe the US cannot be steered, you will become increasingly correct.

          Maybe if you were white and rich. All the good shit in America from the progressive labor reforms to the civil rights act were the result of things being so terrible that people risked their lives to change things. The government, private goons, and community bigots have done some the most heinous, genocidal shit in history.

          Company towns where people were killed for trying to unionize. FDR deporting hundreds of thousands of Hispanic American citizens. Black neighborhoods that saw success getting annihilated for daring to try to carve out a good life. Supporting authoritarian governments and their death squads. Horrific experimenting on poor people and minorities. Persistent cultural genocide, mass displacement, and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans that puts Israeli efforts in Palestine to shame. Creating our current policing system to enforce fucking chattel slavery!

          The US has not been “somewhat better than autocratic dissent genocides.” The Soviet Union did horrible things, China does horrible things, yet America can match every single fucking atrocity they’ve ever committed. We inspired Nazi Germany, helped any authoritarian regime that opposed communism, and created an inescapable system of global neoliberal capitalism that rapes weaker nations and calls it fair.

          You’re right, it’s usually not a fascist state that will burn anything for fuel; it’s usually something far more insidious. It’s a imperial republic that people like you think is some shining city on a hill. It uses your faith in it to turn you into a good little patriot for a country that is recognized worldwide as THE evil empire.

            do you feel better having ranted to no one affecting nothing

            It’s a imperial republic that people like you think is some shining city on a hill.

            pointing out that abolitionists fought the civil war and won isn’t gazing at “some shining city on a hill”
