What’s your point? In relation to this conversation what are you trying to say? I don’t disagree with you, but why are you bringing it up now, in this discussion?

I’m not saying it’s not fascism. I agree with you. But comparing us to Germany isn’t going to get anyone else to pay attention who isn’t already paying attention. Do you know what the oversimplified and stupid response to your comparison will be? “They’re not being antisemitic.”

People hear “Nazi Germany” and just think about the Holocaust in a gross oversimplification. They don’t see that the new “Jew” is just the liberal, the “communist-terrorist,” the “mentally ill.” There is no one “other” this time. There doesn’t really need to be, though.

If you want to engage people, the collapse of the USSR is another historical parallel we are mirroring, not the collapse itself, but the takeover of power by oligarchs and state actors right after. We are quickly heading toward that point.

These fascists are going to crash the world economy. What that means, I don’t know. Maybe just a new digital currency, maybe a new military-industrial complex, but when our economy fails, it will play out like the economic capture of the Russian government after the fall of the USSR.

The fascists want this. This is some Yeltsin shit, man. It’s German-Russian fusion, fascism on the rise.

No they don’t. They just have to adopt a culture of euthanasia. I don’t say that to be cruel or indifferent. I assume state assisted programs are in a lot of countries’ futures assuming they can stomach it. It’s not something I’m advocating for. I just think the rich are cold enough to push it to try to fix the problem.

My thinking is too many people are comparing us to Germany and not enough people are thinking about the colapse of the USSR. This doesn’t look like consolidation of power to me. This looks like turning off all the pressure values so they can point and say “look how corrupt and broken everything is!” when it all explodes. It’s not Hitler, Its some fusion of Putin tatics. People are going to die. This is the gas for a worldwide crisis.
