It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.
In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.
we need a reverse McCarthyism.
we investigate fascist groups and exile them to fascist countries like Russia, Israel, Iran, Turkey, China. then we take their undesirables and put them in fascists home, jobs, etc.
it’s a win for everyone except the fascists.
I’m sorry, but why exile your fascists to other countries? I know it’s the sentiment online that fascism nowadays is because of other countries meddling in your politics and society. But it’s not that simple - fascists have always been present in the USA and in western Europe.
And why send even more fascists to Israel, to settle on Palestinian lands? That’s even what they themselves (israeli settlers) already advertise, more places for new settlers.
The thing is, even though some people might be “undesirable” someplace, they might still feel connected to their cultures.
Western folks have to deal with their own fascists and those movements.
Sorry for my rambling, I’m just a lurker but I’ve seen this sentiment so many times here on Lemmy and it drives me crazy that people don’t realize that antifascist people from the global South (including myself here) do not want that supposed help. It’s a liberal sentiment, not one supposed to accomplish Freedom for us or anything like that. It’s freedom for yourselves.
No, you’re right. It’s far too easy to dump a problem onto someone else. America has to deal with the clear authoritarian/fascist sect it has. Sweeping it under the rug or sending it somewhere else allows it to grow.
maybe we’ll jettison them into space like all the garbage from the 80s.
who knows they might become immune to a lack of oxygen and build a moon base!
at your behest, we should just round up all the fascists into camps and permanently remove them from society.
you’re brutal. dope.
Could try a secluded island. Antarctica is getting Balmier everyday. Look at Australia, aside from the genocide they’re doing ok.
Are they? I’m pretty sure half of it was on fire last year.
