The American government has been like a Jamaican dancehall filled with deejays all riffing off of the same Riddim for some decades. It sounds like everyone decrying these actions as Nazism and Fascism is just coping with being late to the party.
Edit:
Guys, wait, c’mon, I mean you’re not wrong for decrying Nazism and Fascism against the current administration.
All I’m saying is that I think that there’s a hat that’s passed around in American government. It’s red, green, yellow and black, with matted strands of fabric around the edges of it. Sometimes, if you’re cool enough, you get to wear shades with the hat. But if the people already expect illness out of you then you can don it barefaced.
Trump dem a mash up di country baldfaced.
- scarecrowbob 1y agoAs someone very far to the left politically, I agree with the metaphor. The aesthetic differences in the spectacular politics under Obama/Biden vs Trump are pretty easy to see. Heck, one is blue and one is red- that's an easy to spot difference. The material differences are much more difficult to find and require enough "nuance" to justify that I haven't been able to hold that distinction in my head for about a decade now.
