US Authoritarianism

You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nr, nr, n***"r.” By 1968 you can’t say “nr”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nr, n****r.”

I have you marked as the non-US troll who didn't understand the Trail of Tears. Seems like you keep putting America into a specific antagonizing scenario and can't seem to understand why others don't agree with you.

Let's be clear: Authoritarianism runs governments. Authoritarianism is a political leaning which is found in tankies and fascists alike and yet you seem determined to make America fascist. The oligarchs took over and the rest of us are stuck and unable to change a system that was rigged against the people. Authoritarians struggle to see a world that isn't a hierarchy and which doesn't require ghoulish "incentive" to work. They want to make two distinct types of people, Us and Them. Exactly what you are doing. Get the fuck out of here you wolf in sheep's clothing.

Maybe a better, more accurate name would be US Imperialism.

But friend...

...the US IS the other.

I have to say, the ethnocentrism paradox at the core of this post may be our final weapon in the fight against the AI uprising. I'm saving this one for an emergency.
