Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?

[DrZoidberg]

Here's an Iranian guy commenting on Americans who struggle with understanding what fascism is

Just in case any Infidel still considers Dr. Z's "thoughts" to have any value:
The Iranian guy NEVER mentions the word "fascism"

Ha ha ha. You’re such a savvy operator. Nothing gets by you.

Your internal world must be so simple, where everyone labels themselves properly.

Knowing this stuff is actually important right now. The western left right now are supporting actual fascists. Because they're too retarded to understand what the long words they are using mean

Comey was then head of the Department of Justice

Comey was head of the FBI, not the DOJ.

It is nonsense like this that makes it extremely hard to credit any of your arguments...

With that kind of judgment he could join ICE, for whom “close enough” appears to be a guiding principle.

Hi

Let me get this straight. Comey deserves to be “lawfared” for allegedly lying to Congress about the Trump’s campaign alleged ties to Russia because of a sloppy investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Yes, and to say otherwise fails common sense…..

Nope. Incompetence is not a crime. If it were, Trump would be serving time for way more 34 felonies.

Incompetence can lead to crimes all the time though. See hit and runs.

Amazing. The "only" solution to the drug and homeless problems in SF is to send in camouflaged soldiers with big guns and masks on their faces. What would they do? Execute people? Moron.

Trump and his regime may not qualify for full grown fascism - yet, but it is not for lack of trying. They would be a lot further along down that road if a few people had not stopped them.

The question is how long that barrier can hold, given how much of the tools of government he and his allies now control.

Does anyone doubt that they intend to lead the US into full blown fascism, if no one stops them? Does anyone doubt that that may not be possible, given how much power over all branches of government that they now hold?

I have no doubt that if Trump had unlimited power he's be banning liberal speech, freedom of assembly for liberals, ban liberal leaning press and would be executing liberals in the streets.

 

[Swammerdami]

Albright hones in on descriptions of fascism throughout her book:

... Fascism should perhaps be viewed less as a political ideology and more as a means for seizing and holding power.

This certainly fits the power-hungry Narcissist devoid of sensical ideas.

..
To my mind, a Fascist is someone who identifies strongly with and claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use whatever means are necessary to achieve his or her goals. In that conception, a Fascist will likely be a tyrant, but a tyrant need not be a Fascist.

This also fits. Anyone denying that Trump is a Fascist, or at least a wannabe Fascist, has a screw loose.

Ha ha ha. You’re such a savvy operator. Nothing gets by you.

You think you'e being cutesy sarcastic. In fact you should be cringing at exposing once again your intellectual incompetence.
You are ever the fool. You attempt to post an absurd definition of "fascism" and now, duly castigated, whatever you don't like is "Fascism."

There's a delicious restaurant near my home; I enjoy the fish with tamarind sauce, but the sauce is a bit too sweet. If I follow your lead I suppose I should complain to the chef that his tamarind sauce is "too fascist."

Your internal world must be so simple, where everyone labels themselves properly.

Wow! Wrong 100%. Do you REALLY think I think "everyone" labels themselves properly? I neither know nor care how YOU label YOURSELF, but I'll bet it's improper!

Knowing this stuff is actually important right now. The western left right now are supporting actual fascists.

Listen up: The Western left is NOT supporting Islamist extremists. They ARE pleading that innocent children not be targeted with guns or caused to starve to death.

Because they're too retarded to understand what the long words they are using mean

Gratuitous and fatuous snark. Kudos for you, I guess, if that's how you view your "contributions."

Screws are littering the floors of America coast to coast. 70-something million of them.

That cannot be denied. Which does not mean that Swamm is wrong, only that fascism runs deep in all nations and in all people, and is easily aroused and exploited. .

Also I'm totally for not using electronic voting systems, but seems clear what's happening here.

I have no doubt that if when Trump had unlimited has sufficient power he's going to be banning liberal speech, freedom of assembly for liberals, ban liberal leaning press and would will be executing liberals in the streets.

FTFY.

He's not even a year into his (nominal) four year term yet. And his power has been growing very rapidly, and with little effective push-back.

And yet we still get called crazy for accepting Project 2025 is happening, which we know, for a fact, it's happening. People are amazingly stupid and shortsighted.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

Why do you say we are fundamentally racist? Most people of the current generation are not. What we are seeing is it being resurrected as something to blame to climb to power.

And yet, it's always white people saying shit like this. Usually while trying to justify a tepid or ineffective response to the "return" of racist actions, misinformation, or ideologies. Funny, that.

I am not trying to justify not responding to the racism coming from Washington!

I'm saying that most people aren't racist. Race rarely is an important factor in how something happens--and virtually everything that says otherwise does not separate race from socioeconomic status.

If that were true, "Washington's" racism could gave only a limited impact on the day to day lives of our citizens.

Modern times, not his time.

Over the last three years, employment for whites has been gradually increasing, while unemployment for Blacks has hit a record high three times. Currently at 7.5% for Blacks, 3.7%. And it's good jobs that are disappearing. What had been the Black middle class. All because of one racist man in Washington DC, I guess?

The problem with this sort of data is that it doesn't break out the problem of the inner cities. Companies don't want to be there, there aren't enough jobs and the racial mix skews way blacker than society. Any real comparison needs to be apples to apples.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

Pay more attention. He's gone a long way towards controlling society.

Yet you're able to post here without fear of reprisals. How come you are not afraid the FBI will come for you and make you disappear?

We are little fish. Small board, not a lot of attention.

We've seen pretty severe reactions to people posting things on Facebook.

Oh, stop it. A signifying symptom of fascism is that everyone lives in fear of reprisals if they speak out. They make sure all the fish are afraid. That's what the "total-" in "totalitarianism" is about. The funny thing is that USA is probably the least fascist and totalitarian country on the planet. The latitude of socialy permitted behaviour in USA, as long as it's not sexual, is greater than anywhere else. Especially expressing political opinions. And Americans are very vigilant about it. As this thread demonstrates. Americans are very sensitive about having their right to free expression. So it comes across as a bit humorous when Americans start complaining about living in a fascist totalitarian state. The norm, around the world, is to not have opinions about anything remotely controversial in public. Because doing so is dangerous.

You are describing how America used to be. That doesn't prove things aren't changing.

it’s up to voters to change things.

Good grief, you really have lost the plot.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

The reality is that law enforcement very often does a sloppy job. It only works because in general the criminals are even sloppier. But when you put it under enough scrutiny you'll find a lot of painted rust. That's why the elites often walk on criminal charges.
