Comment on China’s Xi Jinping likens ‘US hegemony’ to ‘fascist forces’ ahead of Vladimir Putin summit
SnortsGarlicPowder@lemmy.zip 3 days agoIt was such a short comment that they wrote. Do you have short term memory loss
A. Yes it’s a short comment thats part of my point.
B. Don’t be a dick.
Is this saying Trump is isolating America? No. It is saying that Xi isn’t wrong about fascist forces but specifically under this current administration, contrasting it with prior administrations.
Yeah being specific about current events. Do you not think Trump is blatantly courting fascists?
You can say the other admistrations are fuckers and still think the current admin is worse.
A full 50% of their comment was NOT about isolating America.
So half was. That’s a good chunk of a comment to say. The Trump admin is acting more isolationist than the Biden admin.

Cool. So anyway. The commenter said Xi is correct about the US being fascist under this administration but implied that it would be incorrect to say the US was fascist under prior administrations, so, I wrote my comment to provide the context to show that this implication was wrong. The US has been a fascist force for many decades. Some points of view grounded in historical analysis posit that the US has been fascist since inception because it was formed from a colonial society that was fascist.
But yeah, Trump is more isolationist in some ways than a bunch of recent presidents. That’s also true
