What sunrise sounds like when your neighbouring country is a genocidal, imperialist, fascist regime. Every Russian is guilty.

I answered the question a thousand times, and the response was always "yeah, but," so I tried a different approach.
What I've learned is that many people here are addicted to the dramatic notion that they are the White Rose and this is 1933 and I am a bad man for trying to take that away from them.

This begs the question.
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

The off-road vehicle,which costs $21,120,looks as if it has been in use for a long time:oil was leaking from the differential, the doors close crookedly, the bolts and drive shafts are rusty.

»So act as if you live in a democracy - because you do.« It is imperative that more people here take Prof. Nichols's advice to heart. There is no fascism in the US (or Germany). People should focus on fighting real autocracies rather than engaging in fantasy fights with non-existent fascists.
