I think that the worst and most dangerous misconception #people have about #fascism is that it's this sort of turbocharged "Beast Mode" that #countries can go into to increase their production, win wars, and make the trains run on time, and that the primary objections to it centre on whether the "obvious" increase in efficiency that fascism offers is worth the loss of #freedom and lives. But in reality #fascist regimes like to put up a façade of strength and efficiency, even as they practice #corruption on a scale unimaginable in #democracies and even as the public interest is hollowed out by parasitical #opportunists. There is no trade-off; fascism is a #grift all the way down.

“The biggest threat to America today is not communism. It’s moving #America to a #Fascist Theocracy and everything that has happened during the Reagan Administration is steering us right down that pipe.” – Frank Zappa
Military supplies delivered to Belarus aboard 4 Chinese flights, observers report.
"At the beginning of January, the Belaruski Hajun monitoring group recorded unusual activity by the Chinese cargo airline Air China Cargo at Minsk National Airport. Over a period of four days, the Boeing 747-400F registered B-2476 completed four round-trip flights between Ürümqi (airport code ZWWW) and Minsk (UMMS)...
We have reason to believe that the cargo plane transported military equipment from China to Belarus. The cargo likely bypassed customs clearance and was transshipped out of the airport immediately, as staging the freight in the usual military cargo area would have attracted additional attention with the consignment sitting out in the open."
#Philosopher Jason Stanley: 'russia is explicitly fascist'
Jason Stanley, professor of philosophy at #Yale University and author of "How Fascism Works,"
"Ukraine has been the victim of Soviet genocide, and the russian Empire has, for centuries, directed itself toward the domination of #Ukraine," Stanley told the Kyiv Independent.
"Right now, russia is explicitly #fascist and plans a violent colonial territorial expansion," he added.
The Russian Embassy in Sweden, in a rude comment, confirmed the strike on the Swedish company SKF’s plant in Lutsk on the night of 14-15 August, saying that it is a legitimate military target.

Any American supporting or coddling putin disgusts me to my core. The GQP aka Republicans are implicit in not only his death, but the deaths of every Ukrainian who has died to russian aggression. Thousands of rapes, tortures, murders of innocent Ukrainians. They're responsible for every child stolen from their parents and "reeducated" with russian propaganda. And they're responsible for trying to put someone just like putin in the White House.
I posted this in a thread but reposting this educational video from #GenZ for Change drawing comparisons between #fascism in 1930’s Nazi Germany and modern day #America, which also applies to #Canada, and now the #UK.

I can't think of any better way to whitewash the extremist hate group Moms for Liberty than to call them "Mama Bears."
"In many election cycles, there’s a snappy shorthand used to describe the type of voters who may help decide the winner. Think soccer moms or security moms. Even NASCAR dads. And now, the mama bears.”
No, they are not cuddly mommy care bears.
They are rabid Nazi grizzlies coming at your throat. Act accordingly.
Given Trump repeatedly quoting Hitler even after the backlash and the MAGA crowd cheering those lines, we must now call MAGA a neo-Nazi movement. I'm not being hyperbolic. We are confronted by a fascist, white supremacist movement that can NOT co-exist with a democratic Republic.
Long-standing Russian intelligence operations via the far right in Europe & U.S the role the russian Orthodox Church plays in recruitment and enabling Russian war crimes. A Russian intel op that still hasn’t been touched.
Belgian and Czech intelligence services have exposed a Russian operation geared at swaying public opinion in favor of the Kremlin — including by paying sitting members of the European Parliament.
Corrupt Scotus Defy the Constitution and Give Cover to Insurrectionist. Treason at the Court.
Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson statement that, “By resolving these and other questions, the majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding federal office.”
It is a fact that, absent congressional action — which we all know is not happening in the current Congress — the majority’s decision effectively nullifies Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment for now outside of federal criminal prosecution and conviction for “rebellion or insurrection.”
The narrowest ruling would've been that states can't disqualify presidential candidates under Section 3.
The actual holding is that the only way to disqualify any candidate for federal office is through a statute enacted by Congress.
Big distinction.
Fascist5 justices hold that the only way to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders/ officeseekers is through congress passing a law, which #trumpstooges will NEVER allow.
The 3 legitimate Justices: “By resolving these and other questions, the majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding federal office.”
