    The Nazi comparisons are starting to get annoying. We don’t need to look across the sea for a comparison, we have a comparison from home, slave catchers and slave patrols.

    Americans don’t want to think about their history though. This is racism coming back to bite us in the ass because we never actually dealt with the confederacy. You can’t have real reconstruction without reconciliation and restitution.

      This isn’t racism coming back to bite you in the ass. This is just plain old fascism which does not require a racism foothold to get started.

      Fascism can generate its own racism foothold through its own means.

      They do Nazi salutes and wave Nazi flags. The leaders aren’t even all American. They are from Africa and Canada and Australia ffs.

      Is almost like immigration is bad… when you let rich immigrants in.
