ICE really does seem like the new SS. As a European it's scary as fuck to watch the world's most powerful state turn fascist.
Try being an American citizen with a history degree. I know where this leads, and I'm terrified.
Okay but have you considered that you're being a shrill alarmist commie?
Actually, I have considered that, wanting to avoid being the same kind of victim of partisan propaganda as stupid Conservatives. This is especially important to me, as I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since first registering to vote in 1977. It important to me to not succumb to the propaganda of either side.
My self-reflection has determined to my personal satisfaction that I am not shrill, I'm not an alarmist, and I'm not a commie. I have a history degree, 30 years of professional experience, and have closely watched the rise of extremist Conservatism since the mid-80s, so I am very comfortable offering my opinions with confidence. I don't worry about acceptance from MAGA Nazi Traitors. I couldn't care less about their treasonous, shallow, ignorant, violent, political opinions.
My education, knowledge, and experience has led me to believe that we are facing a divide in America as bad as the Civil War, and very possibly worse. The MAGAs are clearly taking their strategies from the Nazi Germany Playbook, and want to murder vast swathes of Americans. To recognize and warn others about it is not shrill, alarmist, or "commie," and it is not lost on me that you are attempting to shame me into silence.
It won't work. Indies like me aren't afraid in the least of Cowardly Nazi Traitors like you. We know what you are up to, and we will stop you.
I feel like my history teachers tried to warn us about this, but they couldn't say it directly and most of us didn't take the hint.
"Does history repeat itself?"
"Those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it."
What they're really trying to get their students thinking is "do we learn from history?" And the answer is a big, fat, fuck no.
As an American, the scariest part is how little most seem to care about it. Well, that and the fascism.
"That could never happen here!" — Most Americans.
"It might be happening here, but its only happening to the bad guys!"
To see the Canadian government start pushing bills on immigration that are similar to those put in place to allow all this to happen in the US is terrifying as well. We voted in hopes of fending off this fascist takeover and yet here we are with Drumpfkins next door and our own "left" cooking the country.
The citizens of the world are under fire everywhere from fascism and even Nazism. We all need to stand up and fight back no matter where we live.
I was always facist if you weren't white or straight
I really hope that's a typo
I'm workshopping banners for the next RNC convention
