I never thought that American fascism would look so transparently like German Fascism of 90 years ago. Their comfort in not even trying to conceal it is beyond alarming.


│ Commented on Wed May 07, 2025, 05:40:34 PM UTC

│ The people alive back then did. From a US Army publication from 1945 titled: Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 - Fascism!

│ The whole thing is worth reading.


│ Can We Spot It?

│ (Question: How can we identify native American fascists at work? )

│ An American fascist seeking power would not proclaim that he is a fascist. Fascism always camouflages its plans and purposes. Hitler made demagogic appeals to all groups and swore: "Neither I nor anybody in the National Socialist Party advocates proceeding by anything but Constitutional methods."

│ Any fascist attempt to gain power in America would not use the exact Hitler pattern. It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive. They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Ameri-canism."

│ Fascists in America may differ slightly from fascists in other countries, but there are a number of attitudes and practices that they have in common. Following are three. Every person who has one of them is not necessarily a fascist. But he is in a mental state that lends itself to the acceptance of fascist aims.




  1. │ Pitting of religious, racial, and economic groups against one another in order to break down national unity is a device of the "divide and conquer" technique used by Hitler to gain power in Germany and in other countries. With slight variations, to suit local conditions, fascists everywhere have used this Hitler method. In many countries, anti-Semitism (hatred of Jews) is a dominant device of fascism. In the United States, native fascists have often been anti-Catholic, anti-Jew, anti-Negro, anti-Labor, anti-foreign-born. In South America, the native fascists use the same scapegoats except that they substitute anti-Protestantism for anti-Catholicism.

    │ Interwoven with the "master race" theory of fascism is a well-planned "hate campaign" against minority races, religions, and other groups. To suit their particular needs and aims, fascists will use any one or a combination of such groups as a convenient scapegoat.


  2. │ Fascism cannot tolerate such religious and ethical concepts as the "brotherhood of man." Fascists deny the need for international cooperation. These ideas contradict the fascist theory of the "master race." The brotherhood of man implies that all people — regardless of color, race, creed, or nationality have rights. International cooperation, as expressed in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, runs counter to the fascist program of war and world domination.

    │ In place of international cooperation, the fascists seek to substitute a perverted sort of ultra-nationalism which tells their people that they are the only people in the world who count. With this goes hatred and suspicion toward the people of all other nations. Right now our native fascists are spreading anti-British, anti-Soviet, anti-French, and anti-United Nations propaganda. They know that allied unity now foretells the certain defeat of fascism abroad. They know that post-war allied unity means world peace and security. They realize that fascism cannot thrive or grow under these conditions.


  3. │ It is accurate to call a member of a communist party a "communist." For short, he is often called a "Red." Indiscriminate pinning of the label "Red" on people and proposals which one opposes is a common political device. It is a favorite trick of native as well as foreign fascists.

    │ Many fascists make the spurious claim that the world has but two choices — either fascism or communism, and they label as "communist" everyone who refuses to support them. By attacking our free enterprise, capitalist democracy and by denying the effectiveness of our way of life they hope to trap many people.

    │ Hitler insisted that only fascism could save Europe and the world from the "communist menace." There were many people inside and outside Germany and Italy who welcomed and supported Hitler and Mussolini because they believed fascism was the only safeguard against communism. The "Red bogey" was a convincing enough argument to help Hitler take and maintain power. The Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis, whose aggressions plunged the world into global war, was called the "Anti-Comintern Axis." It was proclaimed by Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito as a "bulwark against communism."

    │ Learning to identify native fascists and to detect their techniques is not easy. They plan it that way. But it is vitally important to learn to spot them, even though they adopt names and slogans with popular appeal, drape themselves with the American flag, and attempt to carry out their program in the name of the democracy they are trying to destroy.

Millennials, also known as Generation Y or Gen Y, are the demographic cohort born between 1981 and 1996, following Generation X and preceding Generation Z. While they bring innovation and diversity to society, many in this group fail to grasp the long-term consequences of embracing leftist, socialist, or communist ideologies. Too often, they simply follow modern Democrats without investigating the policies or critically thinking about their impact on freedom, opportunity, and the American Dream.
In the context of the 2025 New York City mayor election, this blind allegiance could lead Millennials to support progressive candidates like Zohran Mamdani, whose socialist-leaning proposals—such as higher taxes on earners and rent freezes—threaten economic stability, job growth, and personal liberties in a city already grappling with crime and migrant challenges.

Instead, Millennials should use their brains: Research the candidates, recognize the value of pragmatic leadership, and back someone like Andrew Cuomo, who has a proven track record of delivering results through hard work and balanced governance.

[Trump News] Homan: “President Trump doesn’t have a limitation on his authority to make this country safe. There’s no limitation.” This is exactly how authoritarian regimes justify abuses of power.

But when Biden tried to cancel student loan debt that was tyranny?


│ Commented on Thu Aug 14 13:26:52 2025 UTC

│ A recent 5-4 pod episode was breaking down just how transparently absurd scotus was with this decision compared to the McMahon v New York decision.

│ Somehow the states suing on behalf of the loan providers, when the providers did not want to sue and were not a party to the suit, have standing but schools losing out on tuition money and suing directly doesn't? Just patently absurd legislating from the bench with the conservative justices.


Commented on Thu Aug 14 13:24:31 2025 UTC

This is a claim that the president’s power has no legal limits. In the U.S., the Constitution and courts are supposed to set those limits. Saying “no limitation” is basically tossing separation of powers and the rule of law out the window.


│ Commented on Thu Aug 14 13:32:13 2025 UTC

│ The constitution’s checks and balances assumed that at least one of the branches would maintain its integrity given the other one or two became corrupt af. We’re seeing a breakdown in the constitution because it doesn’t have a response or any procedure to handle this level of collusion amongst the three branches, except ofc the 2nd amendment. What we have right now is effectually government by cartel rather than a constitutional democracy

Trump's "dictator" trial balloon reveals his admin's new customer service model: authoritarianism by popular demand. When MAGA whispers "maybe," the White House answers "definitely."

The Threat to Democracy Index hit 56% this month as Trump replaces truth-tellers with propagandists - firing the BLS chief on 8/18 for accurate data, installing conspiracy theorist EJ Antoni to cook books. Now DOJ weaponizes grand juries to chase Obama-era ghosts while Trump's DNI peddles treason fantasies. Democracy dies by a thousand "yes men."

56% isn't a margin of error—it's a margin of terror.
