Obviously there are degrees, and that matters … but let's see how much farther that dial turns in the coming months

Fascism was always here, just typically hidden.

I'm not disagreeing, but curious where you think it is already here/visible?

@TCatInReality The scenes from New York last night shook me a lot, and news I'm waking up to from LA seems pretty bad too!

Yep, they're awful. In both cases, it's university mgmt calling in the cops. In Texas, it was the governor.

If we're talking fascism, I thought you meant government under the control of fascists, not schools or businesses (although that happens too)

@TCatInReality At least in NY, Adams seemed like an eager participant. In LA they seem to have chosen to allow counter protestors to attack the encampment. If Mayor Bass doesn't approve of that call, she should say so. If she doesn't, out of intimidation or genuine agreement, I think it's fair to say "government under the control of fascists" to at least some extent (a greater one than I thought 24 hours ago)
