We're not headed towards fascism. We're already fascist. This is nothing more than silencing free speech. Just silencing a voice that said things the establishment didn't like. It's no different from the S.S. arresting germans who spoke jewish sympathy.
We're not becoming fascist. We're already there.
It's been here for decades, they always build fascism in silence then go mask off once it's full fledged
It was there prominently during the cold war era. If you happen to be gay or a socialist, then you were all ready being surveilled by the FBI.
Since the seventies at the latest. Unions were unified and synchronized with parties post-WWII, workers' demands reconciled with those of capital. That was originally the project of il Duce, but we took it out of his hands greedily.
We could do fascism better than him and what is more fascist than to peg the worth of individuals, the economy, to that of a not necessarily racialised abstract people of a Nation? Now anyone can become a fascist by subordinating themselves to the state. A German is anyone who is a good citizen to the German state, Japan and the US are the same.
In Benito's words: "Race? It is a feeling, not a reality: ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today... National pride has no need of the delirium of race."
Bit of nitpicking here, but that would have been the job of the Gestapo.
Who "we"? Not me. You seem to have tried to critique a fascist ('government') group of armed robbers, extorters, homiciders and genociders. Your critique would probably have more effect if you stopped supporting legitimacy of use of force of theirs by counting your name as part of that ('government' ) organization with the first person plural "we". THEY are fascists. THEY barely have managed scrounging a flimsy 19% of votes of the 330 000 000 residents of the so-callled U.S.A lands they have been occupying with surveillance, guns and bombs. THEY have addresses in the so-called U.S.A., on stolen indigenous tribal lands etc. THEY have been comitting genocide and have not stopped yet. THEY have real bank accounts with real addresses with specific amounts owing to tens of millions of victims per year so far.
