You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state
Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.
The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

I like this idea of dinosaurs as chunky boys.
Jurassic park would have been a lot more fun if these darlings were wobbling towards people and nobody ran but just turned and hugged the dorky cuddle beasts.

Trump’s long history of being obsessed with eugenics set the tone for his recent press conference, where the president and RFK Jr. framed autism as something to eliminate—rather than what scientists agree it is: a spectrum of neurological differences with a wide range of symptoms.

Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable."
