Also 50, 70, and 100 year sentences for people who were protesting against ICE in Texas
post
I feel like the guy who got 30 years for picking up a box of zines is a much better example here.
We live in a fascist country now.
"But there's no mass graves."
Not yet. And it doesn't matter. There isn't just one flavor of fascism. There isn't just extreme fascism or no fascism.
This is a facist nation because it is behaving like a fascist nation. And it's not going to get better unless voters start being more responsible. And it might even be too late for that.
The idea that we have to wait until the worst cas scenario actually takes place before doing anything about it is ridiculous. We have seen all of this, many times before. We already know where it leads, unless it is stopped. We don't have to wait, just because the people who benefit by that waiting demand it.
We don't have to do what the worst people in the world demand. We've seen how this exact scenario leads to death camps, and the wholesale slaughter of millions. We have the people in place who think that's a good idea, and they have already built and are populating concentration camps with cremation facilities. Do we have to wait until we smell roasting flesh from the smokestacks before we do anything? Are we going to accept their excuses when they claim they are only burning the bodies of those who died "natural" deaths? In a concentration camp?
We already know where this leads, every time. We don't have to make them prove it, and we don't have to accept their lame denials, or their rationalizations. We know what they want, and we see them moving quickly and decisively in that direction. We don't have to wait until it actually happens before we stop them.
"There are no mass graves"
Ask the hundreds of people who entered ICE internment camps and never left. Alligator Alcatraz. 2/3rds of the 1,800 people "disappeared"

The article does not support your statement. Even if people have gone missing, the author doesn't allude to a mass killing. I'm all for exposing ICE, but I'm also against creating misinformation or fueling rumors.
...so they just disappeared into the system and we have no idea if they're alive or dead? You know that's only marginally better right?
It's probably not that quantity today, but read about that statement "Wir haben es nicht gewusst". There were "rumors", but most people just thought about their own lot instead of worrying about those rumors.
Concentration camps were discovered in 1945 I think. Fascists don't care that you have no proof. They kill people and appease you with lies.
You're at the step where the murders are still hidden. Next step is when they're justified. Oh wait, it's already happening when people are killed in the streets for opposing ice. Next step is more people join the ranks of the great enemy of the inside. And at some point, either you agree with all the killing, or you shut up because talking puts you on the wrong side of the government guns.
You don't need to recap the Holocaust to me just because I'm saying stop spreading rumors. I'm not saying don't be alarmed, or angry, or to stop fighting. As much as I'd love to accuse ICE of some heinous shit, all we know is that some people are missing and they're lying. If you read the article you'll realize one of those people was found here in Mexico.
Every fascist regime was established in democratic elections. No fascist regime was overthrown in democratic elections.
To be the pedantic smart ass that I am, Mussolini in Italy and Franco in Spain weren't voted in.
Every fascist regime was established in democratic elections
This feels questionable at best--- there's a lonnnnnggg history of rulers in countries prior to democracy
Fascism is less than 100 years old.
Simply not true. Not all fascist regimes came out of elections. Many, many governments arose from coups, usually military.
You can't shift a government from Democratic to fascist, if it was never democratic in the first place.
Sigh, it's always been a fascist country. Now the mask is off. Do something about it.
Someone got 50 YEARS for protesting ICE
Two people who weren't even there, who never discussed the illegal acts, who were only in a group chat where people discussed attending a legal protest, were sentenced to 50 years.
But they were trans women in Texas. So the jury had no problem sending them to a men's prison without any crimes being committed.
A life sentence for protesting.
This is America.
Our Constitution is effectively over and a frightening percentage of Americans aren't even aware, or don't even care.
Personally, I'm crossing my fingers for Balkanization. Staying chained to this sinking ship is not wise.
Those floating paint chips are worth thousands of dollars! Or rather, that's what the administration paid for them.
Here in Australia our racist nutbag pollie is pretending a poster that was dropped behind her could have been a bomb.. and now wants police protection
And people keep listening to her as if she's a champion for the working class. Fuck off Pauline you vapid cunt, people with more than 2 brain cells can see through your facade.
You haven't heard? She's absolutely interested in uniting the nation into one.
Which is why she openly hates woke people, greenies, lefties, first nation ceremonies (and therefore traditional first nations), people who don't speak english (also some of our first nations), trans people and migrants. She definitely tries to unite suspected war criminals too.
In her defence, she does spend 1 day a year trying to unite everyone.. Australia day. Everyone MUST unite on that day, including first nations who were invaded that day at one time.
And, she at least waited until the day after Australia day to release her "anti-woke" video and song which started openly attacking Aussies she deems are "unacceptable"
