    Fascism is the application of colonial methods of control to the imperial core. Here we're starting to see the status quo of places like occupied Iraq (where heavily armed goons were allowed to raid houses for any reason or no reason) being extended to the border zones of the metropole.

      Yep, this is textbook fascism right here. Expanding unaccountable authority. Removing people's ability to challenge power even if they do it through the "state approved avenues."

      My dark joke about this is at least the USA has done fuck all to expand rail infrastructure so at least I'll be forced into the bed of a truck or a prison bus rather than a cattle car when they shuttle me off to a work/death camp. Weeee. I love living here.

        The US has done fuck all to expand passenger rail infrastructure. Our freight rail infrastructure is 2nd best in the world (we're gonna be freight lmfao).
