the United States itself is a violent white supremacist settler colony. It is inherently fascist
No, it is a liberal democracy. Liberal democracies commit genocides all the time, that does not make them fascist. Liberal democracies may have a lower class to treat as cattle, that does not make them fascist. Fascism does not have a monopoly on the worst forms of oppression that humanity has to offer.
Fascism, specifically, is the oppression of a liberal democracy turned inward. It is the dehumanization of people that the liberal democracy used to not dehumanize, and the political and cultural systems needed to get a population on board with that. But dehumanizing people that are already dehumanized takes very little effort, and in liberalism a person’s rights do not exist unless they are enumerated by the state.
Thus, fascism and liberalism are different in psychology, culture, and political structure, even though both are often genocidal, white supremacist settler colonies.
We must do better than liberal democracy. Genocide doesn’t end at fascism.
Messaging matters. The last part encourages United States residences to give up, or join the fascists (“I like my country, so fascists must be great!”). One can just be like “here are ten roots of fascism, try to work with your friends and neighbors to stop doing those”.
If you give up because someone says your country is built on white supremacism you were never serious about fighting it in the first place.
This is the same as the people who have a minority not coddle them and turn around to say they’re no longer going to support their right to existence.
you were never serious about fighting it
Yeah. I just think most people are no where near serious about fighting it. To effectively fight it, the unserious people need to help.
the people who have a minority not coddle them
What does this mean? Why would a minority coddle a majority person?
What does this mean? Why would a minority coddle a majority person?
Because they expect us to worship them for tolerating us. The amount of times I’ve seen a disagreement ending with say ‘I was going to support gay rights, but now I won’t because you were mean to me’ is huge.
It’s never too late to do the right thing
Defeating fascism doesn’t end at defeating Trump. But it does begin there.
America used to have Palestine encampments. Then Trump got elected, and the protesters had to switch to No Kings. It sucks. We should make things easier for our protesters.
Queen Angela done told yall —
GRASP AT THE ROOT
