  Ah yes the choice between democracy (fascism lite) and fascism.

  It’d be nice if Americans finally overthrew their system or just voted for other parties/independents.

  Also not everyone here is from the US btw.

    Democracy is demonstrably far less oppressive than fascism.

    If you are actually anti-opression, the choice for Democracy is a no-brainer.

      My point is that the incumbent party and the opposition are both anti democracy and authoritarian compared to the rest of the world.

      Look at the police brutality against peaceful activists in the capitol last night and tell me if that was China that wouldn’t be used by the American media to tell Americans how authoritarian China is.

      This is happening under the democrats, the alleged protectors of democracy. Last time I checked freedom of speech was a democratic ideal in America and the right to protest was a human right.

        You’re running in nonsensical circles my dude. First you say “Democracy” is “fascism-lite”, now you’re saying that to be “anti-Democracy” is “authoritarian”.

        Did you slip up and accidentally reveal to the wrong community that you’re anti-Democracy, or did you poorly communicate your original intent and write out the wrong statement?

    Lol, yet.

    Fascist nations aren’t exactly known for not invading weak nations with excess money.

      Swap excess money for excess natural resources and you’ve got the US

        That’s the idea, yeah.

        Can you say “The European Protectorate?”

  This is an incredibly stupid thing to say when the current president is supporting genocide.

      I have skin in the game, because if America aids in a genocide, I as an American am partially responsible. I’m okay with being arrested, or even a second coup attempt by trump, if it means preventing a genocide.
