  • Yeah, like you said, that’s Ur-Fascism, aka an academic definition they came up with in the 90’s that can apply to a lot of things if you squint right.

    The historical definition of Fascism is:

    Fascism is not merely a system of government; it is a system of thought. For the Fascist, everything is in the State, and nothing human or spiritual exists, much less has value, outside the State. In this sense, Fascism is totalitarian.

    For Fascism, the State is absolute, individuals and groups relative. Individuals and groups are admissible only in so far as they come within the State.

    Regardless, what does this have to do with ICE deporting people illegally? Any country that deports illegals is fascist?




  • Washington Post and a few others as well, yes.

    I’m also struggling to see the issue:

    “News organizations pushed back, and the policy was revised last week to say that members of the media were not required to submit their writings, but that U.S. military personnel could face “adverse consequences” if they make unauthorized disclosures to reporters. Reporters could then be viewed as security risks and have their access revoked“

    The military is covered under UCMJ and yes, you CAN get in trouble for leaking information. That’s literally part of the reason you have a security clearance, because you are saying you’re trustworthy enough to not leak shit.
