I am well aware of the atrocities committed by the United States government.
The overwhelming majority of government employees are just regular people working 9-5 desk jobs that don't involve anything nefarious whatsoever.
Likewise, the overwhelming majority of scientific breakthroughs come from government funding. The scientists and administrators that make that shit happen aren't bad people.
This shit is far from perfect, and we have a horrific and bloody past (and present, and likely future).
But there is nuance. You need to recognize that there is nuance. The world is not black and white.
Assuming you're lgbtq and still in the US, based on you being a blahaj user, those ordinary people are going to remove your right to marry, get medical care, or live openly as a member of the lgbtq.
Ordinary people, not evil people, not ideologues.
You need to recognize those ordinary people you trust were the ones to carry out some of the most evil acts, and all of them believed they were doing the right thing for the greater good. Or don't and suffer. At this point some of you class traitors deserve what's coming.
It's like you are purposely missing the point.
You're right. Government bad. Government does nothing good and provides nothing for anyone. The world IS black and white.
Let me guess, taxes are theft...
No, governments can be great. Fantastic even. Not fascist governments.
The United States, having just elected capital to have exclusive state power, is fascist.
Yes, now. BECAUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL.
You literally just proved my point.
No, it's been that way for longer than you've been alive, unless you're in you're 90s.
You're going to find out what real fascism is in the coming months/years.
Fascism, according to Mussolini, is the combination of state and corporate power, the final stage of capitalism.
Yep, that's certainly one major aspect. And just look at all of the corporations already bending the knee and the guy isn't even in office yet.
