Soooo… your solution to your kid’s fears is animal abuse?

Yes that’s what we’re Increasingly moving towards.

Nope. We’ve been there for a long, long time now. People are only figuring it out now, though.

Beware though, that all of this is a spectrum…

The (so-called) “political spectrum” becomes perfectly irrelevant once you understand WHY and HOW our political establishments dangle the liberal carrot and the fascist stick before us.

You don’t want to know why the liberals keep fascists around?

They do say ignorance is bliss - maybe that applies to you.

they don’t have control of state militaries

Of course they don’t. They don’t need direct control of the military. That’s what their pet political establishment is there for. You know… the political establishment who gets to decide who they will ALLOW you to vote for every four years?

In fascism, the state is at the top

And liberalism differs from that… how?

and become an extension of the government

And what did you think the Military-Industrial Complex was?

You’re not describing anything here that differs from liberalism in any fundamental way. You’re not wrong - I just don’t think you realize the full implications of what it is you are saying.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have,

We’re not talking about the surgeon who lives in the nice part of town and drives a Merc here… we are talking about the capitalist class who controls ALL of our society INCLUDING it’s repression apparatus. And Trump, an incompetent capitalist nepobaby cosplaying as a fascist, needs Zuckerberg far more than Zuckerberg needs Trump. Trump knows it, and the entire US political establishment knows it.

The billionaire parasite class ARE the people in charge.

The fascists serve them, genius. That’s the whole point of fascism.

Critics see the move as an attempt to cater to the incoming Trump administration and avoid political retaliation,

Give me a break. Since when does the billionaire parasite class have anything to fear from the US establishment?

a system that prevents fascism, but it doesn’t exist.

Who brainwashed you into thinking that? The liberals who always come up with a 1001 excuses to keep fascism around, perhaps?

You prevent it through other sociological structures.

And what “sociological structures” would these be, pray tell?

The method for selecting power can’t do what you want it to do.

Oh we cannot democratically decide what power should do or how it should be distributed, eh?

Why am I not surprised that your TRUE ideology turns out to be as anti-democratic as the status quo you are shilling for?

Save it for the next fascist your (supposedly) “democratic” system siccs on you, liberal.

Americans went for a second helping at the trough of fascism.

The US has been pro-fascist long, long before Mussolini gave it a name.

At least they learned from their mistake, unlike the US.

If Brazil had learned from it’s mistake it WOULDN’T HAVE ALLOWED A FASCIST INTO POWER, genius.

And now it isn’t, that’s democracy,

Abso-fucking-lutely not. Fascists would NEVER be able to gain power in a truly democratic society. No ifs, ands or butts.

Fascists are funded into power (and into existence) by CAPITALISTS - adherents to an ideology that is violently incompatible with anything that can be called democratic with a straight face.

Brazil is not a democratic society. It is a (so-called) “liberal democracy” - something that can be more accurately described as 95% capitalism with some fake democracy substitute thrown in as a legitimising measure.

That is THE WHOLE POINT of liberalism.

Brazil is a good world citizen.

Uhhh, did you forget that Brazil was being run by a fascist war criminal just a short while ago?
