The United States is the most Fascist nation to ever exist, with a greater portion of Fascists in the population than the Third Reich.

      In a lot of places they get charged for room and board. And I don't know this, but I know that the money they're charged goes back to the prison in addition to the money already allocated for their "Stay".

      And they're paid pennies which depresses wages for everyone, because of course.

    Americans will cry about China while not only having no intentions of getting rid of the prison clause in the 13th amendment, but actively defending it.

      The lesson the USA learned from WW2 was not "don't do the Holocaust,' but "don't run out of oil."

          I think if you add up all the people America has murdered since WWII we're at like .5 holocausts or so. Depends on whether you count the murders committed by US vassals or just by the US directly.

            Plus everything before WWII. There were 60 million people living in the Americas before Europeans ever showed up.

    There's a very specific type of dread I feel sometimes at growing up and living in such an unspeakably evil place, knowing all the ways its tendrils have intimately shaped the minds of everyone around me (and my own if I'm being honest with myself). Sort of like a dissociative, hate-filled awe and terror.

    Idk, let's just say that seeing the things most Americans believe makes me think I'm right to want to interact with the world around me as little as possible. I know that's an incorrect/toxic way of looking at shit but it's the mood a lot of the time.

    Ilhan Omar has now said something about it, so the slavering hordes of Nazis Next Door have come out. Remember that these people are probably about 1 in 4 of your neighbors.

    No, see, America is good, because we don't do slavery, and slavery helps America, and helping America is good, so slavery is good, because it helps America, which is good, because it doesn't do slavery, you see

      It wasn't, Rome in the west just kinda lost the ability to do anything effectively. The east kept going til the ottomans consumed it.

      you gotta remember that the fall of the roman empire took longer than the united states has even existed yet

      Edit for clarity: by this I mean to point out that I don't think it's likely that anything akin to "intense fascism" would arise through such a gradual collapse. If it had been at the time scale which the US seems to be going from founding to empire to golden age to collapse, what may take the US a generation or so to experience rome took hundreds of years

      I think the fashiest time in Rome was probably towards the end of its heyday when they had the power and prestige to do such things

        The Roman Empire started falling in 453 but hung around as a political entity until the 15th century.

        Also Rome pretty much always ran on slavery and general shittieness. It wasn't fascist because Fascism is 20th century phenomena and the economy and culture were very different, but Rome was never a great place to live for slaves and peasants.

          yeah I think we're on the same page, also, I was counting the collapse of the western empire as the fall of rome, even though I know the other half still thought of itself as rome, because it was a more dramatic "fall"

        I feel like the US isn't going to "fall" as much as it's going to stop being a superpower for a while while still being a great power. It might even go back to being a superpower in a multipolar world after it's brief period of falling from grace.

          The way I see it there are three categories of outcomes: the slow decline and loss of geopolitical power until what happened to detroit happens to all of the US, a vicious and rabid shift to outright fascism in some form or another that results in the violent destruction of much of the US and potentially the world, or a Worker Victory where the US as we know it is overthrown and workers come to power, enabling a huge swell of productivity and increase in quality of life culminating in the US maintaining or even increasing in global power/ prestige

          I don't see the US surviving as we know it for much longer, generationally speaking

            there's also a 4th option where the workers win but then something gets fucked up and everything goes sideways, or the counterrevolution is victorious, but I'm just gonna file that under option 2 because that's where it'd end up anyway

          the problem with this possibility is that it requires America (and Americans) to manage and handle their own decline and I just dont see it imo
