Yeah, if you think the US is going to go fascist you're living in a fantasy land. You wouldn't just need a depression, you would need the whole fabric of society to unravel and become as poor as pre WW2 Germany.
No country with a high GDP has turned authoritarian. Authoritarianism doesn't work in wealthy countries.
- short_circut 13y agoJapanese internment camps were not a fantasy land. The US exhibits fascist qualities all the time. We don't usually call it that but there are certainly examples which could be considered that way.
- temp453463343 13y agoYou mean back when people thought blacks were less human than white and women didn't have the right to vote? Back when a depression meant people starving to death? We're not the same society we were back in the 1940s.
- kaoD 13y ago> if you think the US is going to go fascist you're living in a fantasy land. Snooping on citizen's private business seems quite fascist to me. > No country with a high GDP has turned authoritarian. For how long will the US have a high GDP? Every single empire has fallen, even the wealthiest.
