#america is a fascist state

[a-dogpgh]

The Antisemitic Awareness Act has passed in the US House of Representatives

This bill specifically cites the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which is as such:

Several parts of this specifically stick out, namely comparisons of the actions of the state of Israel to the actions of the Nazis/Holocaust, and the labelling of the state of Israel as a racist endeavor, as well as the idea that some citizens hold more concern for Israel than their own countries. If this passes the Senate, Joe Biden WILL sign it, and retroactively all of the police brutality inflicted across campuses in the country and every one of us that has spoken out will be labelled criminals as Rafah fucking burns to the ground.

I don't know what to do with this information, I don't know if I'm worrying too much, I hope somehow someone else does know more about this and how we can possibly hope to overcome this, so I'm sharing this, as our others, to hope we can figure this out and how to move forward.

#free palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #hands off rafah #genocide joe #white supremacy #america is a fascist state #fuck the police #we keep us safe #american politics #none of us are free until all of us are free #gaza #free gaza #palestine #israel is an apartheid state

does anyone have reading recommendations that clarify the difference between liberalism and fascism? I’m having trouble distinguishing what is just like normal levels of imperial/colonial violence conducted by a liberal state and what pushes it over the edge into a fascist state. Is fascism simply mature liberalism? Is it liberalism in crisis? Can we only make historical, reactive judgements about what is fascist, which is to say, can we only know if fascism occurred after it has come and gone? I take the general point that calling all liberal states fascist can let them off the hook for types of violence considered normal or “just doing business,” invisibilising the daily violences they conduct as part of the regular maintenance of a liberal capitalist state. People are calling the US fascist for its direct participation in and funding of the genocide in Palestine - a diagnosis I don't disagree with, but if that’s the case, where do you draw the distinction between the US being merely a liberal state with aggressive global imperial ambitions and the US being a fully fascist state? Perhaps more bluntly, what’s the difference between a liberal drone strike and a fascist one? I’m struggling to understand the value of the fascist label, because everything it describes (ultranationalism, a theory of racial and cultural degeneracy/decline, paranoia about an imminent external threat expressed as violence against internal populations deemed to have insufficient loyalty to the country, a turn towards a mythologised tradition of the past, imperial expansion, genocidal projects against minority populations, etc etc) just seems to me like a description of United States in general lol

#if we call all liberal states fascist we risk exceptionalising liberalism <- point I am sympathetic to #but if that’s the case then like what does the fascist label get us? What does it ‘do’ as analytical tool? How does it help us understand #the world today and the history of the world? #was the iraq war fascist? If so are we meant to understand that the US stopped being fascist for a couple years #and is now fascist again? Despite the continued occupation & violence & sanctions in Iraq Libya Yemen Afghanistan etc during that time ? #are all the coups it did in Latin America fascist or just normal liberal behaviour? Was the Korean War fascist? The Vietnam war? #what about the Cold War? What about the genocide of indigenous people in North America? What about chattel slavery? #I guess I’m just at like a point in my knowledge of history that none of the governments or movements or actuons called fascist #seem even remotely different from just like regular imperial and colonial violence #and so like my current inclination is that either all of this is liberal or all of this is fascist #and that doesn’t feel satisfactory lol

"Biden is the best choice and he's actually really empathetic and reasonable but also you can't wait for a candidate that won't do genocide and war crimes because to become a presidential candidate you have to be willing to do that" see what you fundamentally don't understand is I'm not waiting for a candidate that won't do war crimes, because I know that. I cannot morally stomach this system, it's a joke to claim its democratic, and AMERICA DELENDA EST. this country is a plague on this Earth

#cipher talk #It's baffling because okay so you know how fucked up this is but you're behaving in a way that clearly indicates you want that this shambli #Disgusting empire to cling to life until after you're dead because it'd make /you/ uncomfortable and inconvenienced #To live through its destruction (the wealthier classes and more privileged experience lesser material changes in state collapse so long as #They aren't too highly ranked/involved in politics. A Sri Lankan wrote an article specifically addressing Americans about this) #It's so dehumanizing! People's blood is so cheap to you! You've just accepted its inevitable that genocide will happen! #Because of how the US operates! You can see no other future! It hardly matters to you! #You say this like the death of Palestinians of Yemenis of Syrians is someone else's dropped ice cream cone #You understand why people hate this country and you understand we deserve it but it just. Hardly matters to you #It feels like madness to watch this. It's disgusting #I keep thinking- it'd be so easy for you to justify my people being killed if violence broke out and it was in your favor #It's unlikely because. Well. America loves 'the church of the martyrs' #But you'd do it if that was favorable. You wouldn't think twice. You might feel a twinge in your heart but that's all #Because we aren't people to you! #We aren't all that important! Not important enough for you do anything more than 'well let's vote a blue in and do some protests' #What's a protest worth if you perpetuate the system and can't see a way out and don't try for a way out? #That's killing a man then putting flowers on his casket. It's /perverse/. #You get used to the idea that Africans die that West Asians die and that's just the way of the world. My g-d do you understand anything?? #I watch necrosis take hold my parts of my culture and I watch every good person I know be ground to dust under a military regime #I talk to my friend who got drafted and is trans and may never come out because if they do they can get arrested as a 'prostitute' #I watch the wild hope for the future I was introduced to over radio at 9 years old wither #I watch people risk it anyway because just past the fence they can see they know there are people there #I watch my neighbor to the south crumble and weep because our hands are bloody and it's in part because we bloodied them for the west #And you just think that's how things are. #Fascist white death cult mindset

yet another day of blocking popular blogs for supporting an organisation that they would hate if they were killing their own people but nooooooooo its okay to kill random Jews apparently.

#antisemitism #israel #you fucks gotta realise that its never okay to kill civilians #would you cheer if hamas killed civilians of the fascist state #of america? #israels GOVERNMENT is bad #target the goverments in charge of killing Palestinians #america is responsible for the genocide in Vietnam #if i cheered on an organisation killing american citizens as “revenge” #id be ridiculed #and rightly so #but why is it okay to kill israeli civilians? #is it because you think the middle east is somehow lacking the same nuances as the west? #im an anarchist #people are always victims of their governments #no one is free until we are all free #do you think israelis are somehow less human than americans? #if you viewed everyone as true equals #you would see that the people of Israel do in fact protest against their government #and Palestinians speak out against hamas

Please for the love of god you Americans on here better be voting for Biden this election. If we don’t vote Biden, Trump WILL win again, and he WILL be even worse than last time. Somehow he is still popular and oh my god, he is so much worse, he is entirely overt about every horrible thing he wants to and WILL do. 3rd party has never and will never have a chance at winning. Not voting is essentially voting for Trump, and pretty much anything is better than Trump

#WHY DID I UNPIN THE OLD POST ABOUT BIDEN I CANT FIND IT!!!!!! #my posts #pinned #god biden sucks but holy shit the amount of biden hate stuff on here scares me right now #it makes me scared for the country and for the entire world too #biden sucks and will do bad shit but trump? #don’t forget that pence literally came out against trump saying he is utterly unfit for presidency #he has a very legitimate chance at winning #and it’s terrifying #it’s terrifying for my immigrant friends #it’s terrifying for me being trans #it’s terrifying for anyone who can get pregnant #he *will* make america fully fascist as fast as he can #he is full unashamed mask-off extremist and we need to do anything we can to stop him from having power again #“but my state is so red there’s no chance my vote will matter” THERE IS A CHANCE. VOTE. THE CHANCES ENTIRELY DEPEND ON YOU VOTING

So if fascism is a dictatorship that is highly militarized and the belief in a social hierarchy

Then the United States has been fascist from the beginning

They wanted George Washington to be king

They wanted a strong military for various of reasons

And they had slavery and eugenics

Washington putting a democracy in place does not take away from the foundation for America was built on fascism

This is why we need a whole new system

#fascism #america #democracy #we have always been a fascist state hoding under the label democratic replubic #free palenstine #blm #from the river to the sea palestine will be free

It reminds me of why the stop the steal people lost their legal challenges to Biden’s election. It’s not that it’s impossible for right wing people to use legal architecture to halt democratic processes (cf Bush v Gore), it’s that they did it in an openly stupid and nonsensical way. In terms of American fascism I think the lessons they’re learning re: interacting with institutional power is that they can’t use twitter posting tactics in the courtroom

#I don’t know how salient this analysis is because like also america is a well developed fascist state in many ways #like in terms of large scale fascistic processes those things are already finely honed #but there’s a particularly unstable element being expressed domestically #eg qanon stop the steal unite the right etc etc #that seems to be losing legal battles not because fascism is structurally excluded from those processes #but that they aren’t being sophisticated with their legal challenges #I mean I guess also another conclusion to be made is that this is just the logical output of a well developed fascist state #you are going to get these fantastical spasms of reactionary violence and legal resistance at home #as stupid and ineffectual as it appears to be #like these are also in a sense the ‘new normal’ of an openly fascist state #anyway these are messy thoughts not fully formed. the more I learn about this topic the less I feel like I actually know

NEW ON SITE: We are revealing the location of a 122-acre white supremacist compound in Tellico Plains, eastern Tennessee. The racist/fascist organization Patriot Front used this land for a training event, and several PF members live there. The land is run by a self-proclaimed "tribe" of racist heathens, led by longtime neo-Nazi Brian Culpepper. Ian Elliott, a PF member and adherent of the "Aryanity" cult, also plays a large role in the "Aryan Tribal Land."

Much more documentation in our article:

Please warn eastern Tennessee friends & contacts!

are we surprised that the big imperialist powers of the world are siding with the occupiers on this one

#exhausted but not surprised #growing up with indigenous relatives in america prepared me for knowing which way america would lean #america will never condemn a fascist state unless it steps out of line in a way that makes it too uncomfortable #america does not care for the rights of the oppressed

ok prior to the finale my top three s4 episodes are easily connor’s wedding, america decides, and living+ (in that order probably). rounding out the top 5 would probably be kill list and rehearsal (altho i haven’t rewatched rehearsal so maybe not i just remember feeling fond of it lol)

#posting this for posterity’s sake #wonder if the finale will change that either bc it’s great or bc its so bad it ruins prev episodes lol #might be a surprise the funeral ep isn’t up here as i am a known roman lover and he finally had his breakdown #but idk! idk. didn’t quite do it for me. felt a lil too on the nose and sympathetic and cliche especially the ending w the self destructive #jump into the protest etc #like both that ep and tailgate party got a little too close to Saying The Thing and being a bit soapy #at times ofc #but yeah i feel like everything i liked most ab church and state was just reiteration of characterizations from prev episodes #rome breakdown was great i just didn’t love the way the running into the protestors thing ended up being done kinda #the episode just felt a little too like Hey Guys This Fascist Has Feelings :( which like TRUE i’m a HUGE proponent of pushing that but i jus #think it was a little too unsubtle for my tastes. like what did roman getting beat up willingly as a grieving method do that roman listening #to logan edited to insult him over and over and over in living+ didnt #and the latter was way more unique and interesting and layered whereas the former felt so cliche and on the nose #wish it was done to make it a little grayer make rome a little more of an asshole even #ok i’ll stop rambling byeee #that’s v much just my opinion and my own sensibilities which r pretty specific ! still a good ep just not like a Me episode the way living+ #or america decides were. and i mean connor’s wedding was an Everyone ep let’s be so real #succession
