RE: Black Conservative at Anti-Gun Rally
It really bugs me the use of fascist and nazi as if they were a common insult. The problem is, all Americans know about fascism is what they see on TV, there is not much education on it except for "we beat those guys some time ago." The dangers of fascism are not to be underestimated and you can't consider any conservative a fascist. You risk provoking what is happening know, a misuse of the word and a normalization of fascism as "anyone on the right, regardless."
Can't say as I disagree with any of what you just said. I just got to the point in steemit where I'm getting a fair amount of comments from actual real people! I'm so happy to see you here! The robotic nice post, great blog, cool video stuff was really starting to get on my nerves man! When I think of contemporary 21st-century fascism I think of it as the marriage of corporations to government. Like any corporation that relies so heavily on government subsidies that they couldn't compete in the market without it..... I think of that as a fetishistic relationship. Like the prison industrial complex for instance.
Absolutely, and such a marriage eventually creates a monopoly, which destroys anyone's chance at success it the capitalistic sense. There is no longer free market, every big company starts to eat other big companies (like Bayer buying Monsanto) and we, everyone who is not a part of that club get screwed over and over again. At this rate in the near future we will end up in a corporatist world where we are all ruled over by Amazon: distributor, defense contractor and pharmaceutical, soon-to-be bank after the merger with HSBC.
