Are you and your neighbors being dragged into vans in broad daylight to be forced to participate in a pogrom?
Things are bad, I won’t discredit that. Bad things are being done, I won’t discredit that either. But this sensationalism without basis in historical context is what makes progressives look like lunatics. Language matters, how you address things matters. Just throwing around terms devalues them, and their meaning, and the history behind them.
These are geo-political issues of our times, but there have always been issues and disagreements between the governing body and the populace. Take the Spanish Civil War and the support/dissent that occurred in the US. Don’t just throw terms like Nazi around casually and say “Nazi this, Nazi that.” There are definitely American Nazis today, and those pieces of shit aren’t hiding very much anymore, but Nazi Germany we are not… Yet.
As to the point of the previous commenter, you are able to say this in the open with no fears of reprisal. You couldn’t do that in, let’s say, modern China or North Korea or Russia. I would argue that these nation states are more aligned with the overt/brutal fascism/Nazi-ism directed at their own populace and their communities abroad that you say America is currently.
Have you sold all your worldly possessions to donate to their causes? If you value your own life and comfort so little, why aren’t you over there as an aid worker/missionary? Do you volunteer in native areas? How are you serving these communities by spouting bullshit and arguing with people online?
All I’m seeing right now is a whole bunch of virtue signaling, which isn’t even good enough to wipe my ass with. Get out there and serve the greater good instead of being petty on the internet, or shut the fuck up.
Then it sounds like you value your life and comforts more than you let on, you trolling fuck. Can’t believe I let you suck me in. Be more constructive than just waiting for civilization to collapse in on itself. Shame on you.

You assume I value my life and well-being over that of a Palestinian, immigrant, or Native American. I don’t. I’m not that bad a person
