    Ticks a lot of the fascist boxes for me, mandatory nationalism and historical revisionism in school, the whole pledge of alleigence and JROTC, massive internal security from the NSA, claiming land belongs to them through Manifest Destiny reminds me of Lebensraum etc.

        I don't necessarily think it is less fascist. I just don't think its more fascist than the US

        The thing is i wouldn't necessarily use that as the most descriptive term in either case. When applied to the Russian Federation, its really just something libs say because they're the designated enemy

        Russia is definitely less fascist than the US. Even just the way the US has and continues to treat indigenous and black people makes the US pretty damn fascist.
