    Mexican here. Last month, a reporter known for being critical of the government was fired live in the middle of his segment. We’re definitely going fascist.

      Yeah, this is a strangely euro-centric viewing. It needs to include so many more places. Russia is a big one that’s missing, for another example, and there are a ton more. We’re in bad economic times, which is where Fascists thrive. On the good side, leftists can also take advantage of it to actually help people if they succeed.

        We’re only in bad economic time because the wealthy elites and corporation gobbled up everything away from the public, which makes it even more sad.

          Yes, but it’s bad for everyone but them. The reason doesn’t really matter. It’s the same as always. It’s mostly the same conditions that led to the last rise in fascism.

        Here. I’m afraid there isn’t much that’s interesting about it other than the fact that it happened in the first place — I only singled it out because it’s quite recent. If you want something interesting, though, how about the time our president straight up doxed a New York Times reporter on live TV?
