The Fash seem to be taking over everywhere atm. What gives?

Elon Musk.

anarchobobcat.bsky.social•51 days ago

Musk is more of a symptom that has become a new focal point, the source dates back far beyond that

The US has always had a fascist element. When you look at the symbols and law changes over the past decade, you see what Heritage did to destroy the US government and other systems like education and healthcare.

Very much in line with Autocracy Inc., by Anne Applebaum.

#Fascism consumes corporations. you would think Bezos and the other billionaire would know that. Their support of #TrumpFascism is suicide ..

Bozos is also a Nazi. He's profiting daily off Maga nonsense.

Realistically every country that actually is considering the transition to corporate oligarchy/Authoritarianism should be covered with layers of nukes until nothing but a field of craters remain. If your people are too stupid to have doubts on information warfare, well… garbage in, garbage out. 🤷‍♂️

I would laugh but the US is clearly stupid enough to go for this.

Indoctrination OCCURS when no contrary perspective is available.

It's pretty easy once the modes of mass communication are well managed. A little corporate ownership here, a little government suppression there and voila ... the contrary seems to evaporate over time.

Oh Scotland, so very sorry. A similar effort has ripped the US apart. You don’t deserve this.

100% of rural communities already believe this. Billionaires have convinced these idiots!

Orban's tentacles are far reaching it seems. The whole cabal of Trump, Musk, Orban....is turning the few remaining real democracies on their head and the non-intellects and oligarchs are taking over internationally - country by country. It is also doing so at a pace that's unimaginable.

Never, EVER has any culture/country that veered into autoritanism become a better place to live.
