The US has been a de facto fascist police state since the passage of the patriot act in 2001. It’s always been a capitalist oligarchy.One cannot be surprised America has devolved into fascism because for years it has always been fascist to POC, the indigenous americans, and so many others. The reason it is being finally called one today is because it started effecting white people Talk to the indigenous peoples whose families have suffered for centuries and continue to suffer, the impoverished communities that the police continue to prey on, and the queer people who were allowed to die due to aids. It’s always been fascist
…yes? I think racial bigotry is BAD actually.

It’s funny how we have no problem accepting a massive chunk of the German population was either active in perpetuating or acting as bystanders during the Holocaust, with only a select few actively fighting against it, but when it comes to slavery, suddenly it’s crazy to say white people were the dominant oppressors
people have such a difficult time processing and acknowledging the severity and depravity of US white supremacy. Hell, it’s documented that Hitler took inspiration FROM US, from Jim Crow segregation, our dehumanization and forced gassing of immigrants at the border (see the bracero program, and the southern border’s former program for forcibly “sterilizing” (fucking scumbags) immigrants based on the fear of lice (which was sparked by an outwardly racist San Fran mayor (if I remember correctly))
