That's true, the Russian people was many that were well read, and they did a revolution about it.
The revolution was nice. The new authoritarian government they did several years after it wasn't nice
And yet here we are.
Yeah it didn't stick the first time. Maybe if the world's dominant capitalist country were to undergo a socialist revolution it would have better chances.
For anyone who'd like a more substantial argument: A Guide to Trump’s Fascist Presidency — From Ignoring Judge to Erasing History
Nice article.
See “Fahrenheit 451” from 1953.
I'm just waiting to see what their plan to curtail the internet is, and how we'll swiftly navigate around it.
Generative AI? Make internet so full of garbage that if becomes increasingly hard to use.
And walked gardens with the attacks on net neutrality. Internet access limited to Facebook, Reddit, etc, with state backends and involvement in moderation.
We will navigate around it. The rest of the US will be forced to use X and Facebook where content will be controlled by Musk and Zuckerberg and Trump and Putin.
Don't forget trying to control who you can and cannot marry/fuck.
Controlling sexuality is a powerful thing. Look at religion, or corn flakes.
To be fair, it did stop a lot of people wanking into their cereal. Not all, surely, but a lot.
Fascism is a system of, by, and for the weak and fragile.
It’s wholly incompatible with healthcare, education, and peace, which is why it needs to ensure its population remains sick, stupid, and scared.
they've been on it for generations, this is hardly 101
To some people this will be a 🤯 moment though.
Totalitarian police state is what we are looking at, with a side of Crony Capitalism.
Trump's handlers have borrowed from Putin and Orban, added some seasoning from 1930s Germany.
All it took was 36% of voters to stay home. 66% of people didn't vote for Trump.
I think fascism 101 is be learny of the people who stand united against anti-fascists.
