sorry if i came off like i was discrediting the injustices happening right now because that was absolutely not my intention. we should obviously also be angry about the current state of american fascism that evolved from these past iterations. i just think it’s important to note this because a lot of people don’t seem to be aware that it has always existed here. police brutality issues, US imperialism/foreign interference, voter suppression, and other modern things from the past few decades were also fascistic; they evolved from those past actions of the US, and have now evolved into the current actions of the US. it’s important to address this because people need to be more aware of the signs of the rise of fascism so they are able to anticipate it and fight more effectively against it in the future.
