  • I call fascism fascism and that is what we now have, the intersection of corporate and military industrial power controlling our government and using their media outlets to spread propaganda. Fascism is marked by; the protection of corporate power, the suppression of labor power, controlled Media disseminating propaganda, disdain for human rights, disdain towards intellectualism, unification over a scapegoated class of people as a common enemy, rampant corruption and cronyism/nepotism, obsession with crime & punishment, powerful displays of nationalism, government and a preferred religion intertwining, normalized sexism, glorification of militarism, a surveillance state with militarized police forces who use secret police under the pretense of national security, and fraudulent elections. These are all the defining characteristics of fascism. And the only one of those you can argue may not be present is the last one but i would even argue that its very likely our national presidential elections have been fraudulent ever since FDR died.


  • Need to attack the problem at the root, corporatism which is a synonym of fascism. Personally I don’t see a solution to fix things that doesn’t involve violent revolution. Even if enough of the bottom 70% of workers could all get together and strike, at minimum 35% of the bottom initiating a general strike that will continue until terms are met. But even then i feel that will lead to violent militarized suppression from the owner class who will force people striking to work. Those in power have made a real mess of things.



  • I would say the ethics of humanity as a whole. it may be hard to find someone with a true ethical backbone who supports Israel. But with every reputable journalistic outlet supporting this level of blatant war criminality it seems that in the mainstream sense at least, ethics have devolved a century in the last 50 years. Yes some people like us see a duck and call it a duck. But you cant really say that is the direction the field of ethics has headed in this time regardless of what people are being taught in ethics classes. When all the major news outlets (circularly owned by the same bunch of wall street military and prison industry profiteers) are entirely unethical then isn’t it fair to say the concept of ethical behavior in our society has certainly regressed?

    Where ethics matter are where they are put into practice and it seems obvious to me that ethics as a school of philosophy/social silence does not have a meaningful role in the actions of our leaders and the news outlets insulating them from consequence at every turn. Ethics have taken a back seat to continuous growth and corporate militsrism.

    Its no use, he probably thinks wtc building number seven collapsed demolition style because the shockwave from the planes hitting the twin towers caused a ripple effect and a butferfly flapped its wings in Indonesia so there was definitely no fowl play on behalf of our extremely trustworthy societal institutions “. 🥴😴🤡

    Lets nuke the shit out of the shitty parts but keep the decorated live tree, pretty lights, egg nog, giving poor people and or family members things they cant normally afford and radicalizing our younger family members to be anarchistic leftists over ham or turkey or Chinese food while your older relatives try to push them as far right as possible and complain about everything that comes out of your mouth. You know the good parts of Christmas.
