    And this time can we forgo the special treatments for “usefuls”?

    Like, for example, the commander of unit 731, who is a mass murderer and mass torturer, but since he had some medical data (which turned out to be worthless anyway) he got a new identity and enjoyed a nice free life

        “There isn’t a genocide happening…”

        Do you mean besides the one in Gaza, where U.S. money and munitions have been facilitating the bombing and starvation of children for over a year?

        My question is rhetorical. If you have a response, I’m not interested in hearing it.

            Yes, no genocide on homeground (unless you could count the genocide of native americans as still on going), but there’s slavery (and it has a big enough market influence that it lowers wages significantly) and concentration camps.

                But we do, in fact, have enough information to call Trump a fascist (and thus anyone who is a suporter of his). The defintion of fascism, as stated by wikipedia is:

                • far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement.
                • characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition
                • belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race
                • strong regimentation of society and the economy.
                • Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism

                Trump has, in the not so distant past:

                • Claimed expanded executive authority
                • refused to transfer power after losing an election
                • has praised authoriterian leaders
                • Frequently made appeals to racial and cultural superiority (e.g., calling certain countries “shitholes,” claiming immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of ‘America’)
                • Attempted to delegitimize dissent or protest as unpatriotic
                • Just a couple of days ago called the national guard (not sure if that’s the correct translation) on anti-deportation protesters
                • Has, and is, sending deported people into de-facto concentration camps
                • Has suggested using the military for domestic policing
                • Has endorsed populist economic nationalism (tariffs, breaking international trade norms, attacking corporations that oppose him)

                And much more, but let’s just jump to a conclusion anyways, right? Nazwałbym Pana debilem, ale tak nie wypada, to tego nie zrobę.
