the nazis didn’t have the benefit of learning from a previous regime that their actions are abhorrent; we do.

Because my aunt & uncle were as much a formative part of my existence as much as your grandfather, uncle, and/or stepfather is/are/were to yours.

What amount of time makes it okay?

There’s a HUGE body of evidence that proves Americans are the most propagandized people on the planet and this response, willfully ignoring the facts, is both telling and indicative of this country’s future.

Do you ever wonder why it takes a single parliamentarian or congressman to derail all Democratic state welfare initiatives like national healthcare while the Republicans literally steamrolled over dozens Republicans and parliamentarians who tried to stop this most recent bill?

If you ever bother to educate yourself, you’ll come to understand that the democrats had the option of making the filibuster super majority proof when Biden was the president and Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, but chose not to even when their own bill was in jeopardy.

Please wake up.

This country normally strips Americans of citizenship every few decades; most recently in the zoot suit riots where my own family members were forced to live out their lives in Mexico despite being born and raised in the United States.

The equal rights amendment could have helped people like your grandfather, Uncle and step father maintain their support and Biden did next to nothing to make it a reality.

But that’s just the brown and disabled people of the United States and the global South whose lives are being fucked over or ended, but sure, you and your colleagues jobs are more important.

the previous and current administration only differ in uncouthness.

agreed, this administration is not any better than the last one.

the problem is the automatic and unquestioning assumption that the last administration was better despite the large body of evidence (by even american institutions) stating the opposite.

welcome to club. lol

saying this makes it clear that you value american comfort over a genocide.

tell that the black panthers after they were bombed by the police; or the brown americans who were born and raised in the united states, but still forcibly moved to mexico during the zoot suit riots and the depression; or the queer people who were arrested, imprisoned, fined, and livelihoods ruined until they fought back at the stonewall inn; or the tuskegee airmen or the navajo that were sterilzed and had medical experiments conducted upon them without their will, simply because they weren’t american enough; or black wall street in tulsa that was literally shot and bombed at like the gazans are right now.

there are SO MANY examples of american facism that you have to be willfully ignorant of them to believe that americans aren’t fascist; either that or be your garden variety american voter.

her administration literally didn’t even bother to secure the equal right amendment; which would have nullified much of project 2025.

also a huge majority of project 2025 has been enacted since 1981.

the facism was always here; it merely had a mask that is now being torn off.

read the articles and you’ll see that the evidence says the exact opposite: the last administration didn’t bother with harm reduction at all while the the current one actually managed to pause it for a couple a weeks and isn’t automatically caving into netanyahu’s demands

yes you did; there was literally zero attempt at “harm reduction”

it doesn’t take any kind of smarts to read an article from a respected news source that confirms that the last administration was not at all interested in “harm reduction” for the gazan genocide.

i know it’s difficult for most democrats to pay attention beyond the propaganda cloud, but try to open your eyes and see the news articles confirming that that the last administration didn’t even bother to ask or even pressure netanyahu to stop the genocide.

american politics is little more than a team sport and they’re simply happy that their team won; it’s the same reason why democrats insisted that you vote for our last administration despite how supportive they were of the gazan genocide.

these where the first versions of empire that existed on this world and full of equal parts flaws and dumb luck as a result

the modern hybrid euro-colonial versions also have flaws and luck on their side, but, more importantly, they learn and adapt from each other and, as a result, have a pattern that we can now identify.

i bet this is why ice is one of the largest police forces in the world now.

… the working class is still becoming more radicalized.

you mentioned this earlier (and dose of optimism of warranted here); what evidence are you seeing for this?

it’s just fedora and, even then, because of ibm’s acquisition of red hat.

money and american hegemony have tried to enshitify linux many times in the past; but linux keeps on chugging along anyways.
