I just love how we as a country went from normalizing 'Lock her Up!' to essentially 'lock everyone up that isn't us' in 5 years. (more thoughts) - Jovian Mar 2, 10:16 15
- Philip K Dick couldnt bring himself to write a sequel to that classic because he hated nazis so much. -- nm - mud Mar 2, 11:01
- the (relative) progress of the last 60 years is the American exception, not the norm. this is just reversion to our historical mean -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 2, 10:31 2

    - I mean, if Im fantasizing for a sec that I had Captain Marvel or Superman or Sentry like powers, it would be corrected by the end of the week. -- nm - Jovian Mar 2, 10:28 3

    - how did we solve it last time? -- (edited) - colin Mar 2, 10:27 4

        oh, that's not true. fascists exists everywhere. (edited, fascists is more accurate to my meaning that fascism.) -- nm* - Andie Mar 2, 10:54
        
        there was a rise in fascism in the US as a political idea in the 1920s-40s. it kind of died out as an overt idea, but reared its head - colin Mar 2, 10:41 1
        
        oh I know - Jovian Mar 2, 10:51
