“The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism,” Garrett Graff, the American historian and author, wrote in August. “In the end, faster than I imagined possible, it did happen here.”
One awakes to new horrors each day. And it is difficult to grasp – and painful to realize – just how far gone we are, and how quickly it has happened.
Right, because you can’t possibly understand, recognize and prepare yourself for fascism unless it’s actively in your country.
Woe is you.
Oh is that what you were doing? It looked an awful lot like you just complaining as the voice of not only Canada but also the world about a situation you’re a third party observer to.
I certainly hope you never have to deal with what the US is facing, but I seriously doubt you guys will fair any better.
Am I a third party observer? Really?
Come on now. If you want to have a debate, do better than that.
I don’t want or need to debate you and if you aren’t living in America you’re a third party?
It might not be my government, but your president has openly threatened my sovereignty and is currently engaged in economic and psychological warfare against my country.
I am not a third party to American fascism any more than Ukraine is a third party to Russian authoritarianism.
Well that is certainly a take. So since you’re involved how come you aren’t doing anything? I have to assume you’re ok with it. And don’t bother with the excuses like “I have a family”.
God you guys really are the same. It gets harder to feel sorry for you every day honestly.
Welp since we’re a lost cause, we’re all the same, we’re complacent, we’re ok with what’s happening etc etc etc then you can stop giving your opinion in these types of threads where the goal is to point out how superior YOU are because you’d never let this happen. Just stop commenting, bud!
I can’t believe I’m thinking of nixing lemmy.ca because honestly y’all have been giving .ml vibes for a while.
