brraap Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Tonight whilst the Oscars is happening people are protesting for Palestine. The NYPD has been deployed to break up these marches Across the pond other tactics are being deployed, such as straight up deporting people who don’t agree with the PM’s views The definition of Fascism : Quote Experts disagree about the exact meaning of the term fascism. However, the governments that have been called fascist in the past had certain characteristics in common. Under these governments, the people had few freedoms. They had no voice in the government. Instead, a strong leader controlled everything and became a symbol of the country. The leader built up the police force to punish people who disobeyed. The leader also built up the army and threatened other countries. The leader blamed minority groups for the country’s problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domination Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The US has a lot of problems, racialized voter suppression being one of them, and a sordid history but calling the US a fascist state is absurd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I get why you would *feel* it is a fascist state, but in it's current 2024 form, it's definitely *not* a fascist state. As for the police arrests, I don't know why that happened and I feel bad for those protestors. I would like to understand why these arrests were made.

Phaunzie Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Yes. American states and especially New York is a police state. Like the NYPD is meant to be a personal army for the wealthy elite in the NY. That applies for all other police precinct in major cities. In rural areas with sheriffs and police stations, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
