    The thing that I think most people don’t realize, is that American media is 100% in support of the government being “fascist” or whatever they’re doing in DC right now. And the media landscape will only become MORE divisive with the recent round of mergers featuring the Oracle people. Cause at the end of the day, the media just wants us all to hate each other. If we’re too busy hating each other; we won’t have the desire to actually organize a G strike

      The shareholders who control the media directly profit off clicks on news articles. Divisive times and chaos drive clicks.

      What part of trump’s government is «“fascist” or whatever» and not fascist to you? I get that you value positive action over hate, but sorry. Let’s call a government that

      • Violently oppresses minorities
      • Obstructs and suppresses political opposition and the press
      • Disdains science, values religion
      • Is built on nationalism and supremacy
      • Is imperialist
      • With a strong focus on The Economy, aka interests of the elite

      For what it is. It’s not being hateful, it’s just keeping the seriousness of what’s being discussed in sight.

        Except for point 3 and not sugar coating it or being hypocrites about it that’s every US government ever.

      If only they would go back to carpet bombing civilians or droning weddings under moderate non-fascist Reps or Dems like in the good old days.
