I agree that the US isn't fascist in the traditional sense, which I believe is all that is being argued, but two things:
What do you call a country that continuously props up fascist states abroad? That seems to me to be something [at least] as bad as fascism, even if it bears a different name.
Umberto Eco is a bad source for explaining fascism to someone who isn't a literal child, and even then I think a high schooler can do better. He is describing a disease based on a scant few cases pretty much exclusively through a set of symptoms and never actually understanding the disease itself. You might need to read more than five pages to understand the political-economic mechanics of fascism's development within a society.
Regardless my main point is that we must, as individuals, live within the realms of systems we disagree with. And saying everything is the same is just not understanding nuance, in my opinion.
As always, "nuance" means
You're the fucking bootlicker making decisions that really only benefit the imperialists and billionaires.
Says the person who is arguing for supporting imperialists and billionaires lol
yeah I'm sure Harris is gonna change something real soon because she can feel how your vote for her wasn't actually a vote in support it was just meant against Trump just this one time, it's the most important election of all time after all.
You people are all the same. No reason to waste time writing out new thoughtful arguments, when you just repeat the same bullshit, so here you go another link in the chain
Looks like your nuance is intensifying.
no your really a Bootlicker .. your Modus of Reasoning is the Modus of a Bootlicker .. before every Principle , the "Bootlicker allgoritm" runs over your every Decision.
In a Democracy you vote for who represents you . You do not let a wierd pathetic Bootlicker allgoritm run over the fact that that you vote for who represents you . And if nobody Represent you , you dont vote.
DO you understand how easy it actually is , without you activating the Bootlicker Systems of yours ?
Yeah imperialists love it when you oppose imperialism
No u
