    Perhaps the greater horror of fascism, from a philosophical perspective, is that it is essentially against the concept of meaning itself.

    Language is merely another tool to enforce domination and submission. All that really matters is being on the winning side.

      Definitely the most horrifying part to me (at this stage anyway, I imagine I’ll feel differently if they make it to camps phase later)

        I really hope it doesn’t get to the camps phase cause I’m know I’m at the top of thr list for an extended stay. (Or, very short stay depending on how extreme they wind up being)

          They’ve already got a better system than Hitler could have every hoped for: normal prison.

          The US has the largest prison population per capita, plus migrant holding facilities, plus juvenile holding facilities.

          All they need to do is capture the presidency and keep at least one chamber of Congress, and they can just expand the existing laws to target their enemies. The facilities are already in operation, they just need an excuse to grab the people they don’t like.
