show a country that doesn't have some dark stuff in its history?
This is not whataboutism. Trying to shift it to the past is not helping the cause. If all countries are fascist because they did something like this some time ago then the word has no useful meaning anymore.
So now in the eyes of some centrist American who has any national pride and half a brain you are making a biased argument. Then yall act surprised why they elect Trump AGAIN.
> It’s not about the past.
You literally said US has always been fascist. This is wrong if you look at the dictionary of what fascist is. Show how authoritarian, intolerant, oppressive US was under Obama for example.
It's one thing to say US could do better and another thing to say US has always been fascist while there are tons of countries that were 50x more fascist (and racist too, which is a different thing) than US, like PRC or USSR (side note it's funny how some american lefties I meet straight up admire them).
- websiteapi 10mo agoIt’s not about the past. United States has significant institutionalized racism today. Slavery is still legal today. Go read the 13th amendment and then look the change in prison population since reconstruction… It’s a shame how brainwashed Americans are. You think everything was great under Obama? lol
- throwaway290 10mo agoI'm not American and here's some news for you: - "everything was great" does not imply "not fascist" - "not everything was great" does not imply "fascist" you did not answer my simple question. you clearly refuse to have a serious discussion Good luck.
- websiteapi 10mo agoNo discussion to be had with whatsboutism. Good luck to you too. Hopefully we get another Obama lol. FYI Jim Crow is worse than anything happening now, and if you don’t think so look in a mirror.
- throwaway290 10mo agoif your definition of fascist means every country is fascist then that's just not a useful definition. literally the point of adjective is to describe differences between things of same type.
