    How is the US "one of the most dominant/dangerous fascist states in world history, and achieved full fascist flower globally under the guidance of FDR and Truman?"

    You could start seeking an understanding by reading Horhey's posts here in the US/WN forum, or Google "FDR fascist."

    Pretty much all of them; Horhey has a jaundiced but pretty spot on view of the extreme criminality being perpetrated by both parties through history.

    Not sure it will backfire, but plenty of blacks will recognize that white, self-hating liberals, are
    using them.
    If you read Marxism, or the Frankfurt School culture Marxism, you recognize there is a need
    for division. Class divisions failed, so now the race, identity and sex divide can be exploited.
    One day many blacks could wake up and find their own suburbs have been burnt down, by
    themselves - and the liberals who fomented this rage will hate whites all the more.

    How will they ultimately recognize such? Even if they do, what will they ultimately do about it in response? They have been raised and indoctrinated to support their current position, unable to do anything about it to improve their situation, as any attempt at improvement will serve to decrease the welfare funding they are provided for being unmarried and ignorant. They are incentivized to be where they currently are, so what motivation do they have to change?

    I can't answer that. African Americans (not blacks, ALL other black groups are doing better)
    have to change within themselves.

    You don't do much reading, do you?
    Do you know what 'fascism' actually is?

    Why don't you go to China and try writing a blog there in support of Hong Kong.
    Go to Russia and walk down the street with an anti-Putin placard.

    For that matter, try these in Cuba, Iran, North Korea or Venezuela.

    Yes, it's called "self hatred"
    Don't laugh.
    You will find many "woke" people openly hating liberal society - in a sense they
    hate liberals more than conservatives.
    Liberals see no difference with skin color, they prize free expression, education,
    openness to new ideas etc.. To a liberal you can be whatever you want, to a woke
    you are born black, or trans or gay.

    Yeah, you are full of it. There may be looney individuals or tiny groups of racists in their swamps drinking moonshine, but the vast majority of republicans don’t give a damn about race.

    Sorry, but you are no longer born male or female. Woke judges in the US have determined that.
    And if a man can be a woman one day, a man the next - then why can't a white guy "become"
    a black guy? Or a rhinoceros.
    But being born black to woke people means you belong forever to a black tribe or class. No white
    person can speak for you because they can't "know" what it is to be black. If you try to act white
    then you betray your blackness.
    To a liberal in USA you are just born an American.
    Woke will shatter society into competing, hating tribes where a white man can't wear a sombrero
    because it's "cultural appropriation", and science is seen as an "indispensable tool of Capitalism"
    and its exploitation of... you know... working class, black class, indigenous..... peoples.
    You can see where all this will lead to, can't you?

    How have they determined that?

    Correct.

    Isn't it true that nobody can speak for anyone? People speak for themselves as far as I'm concerned.

    If someone is born in America, they ARE an American aren't they?

    Yeah, I agree with all of that.

    I honestly can't think of a single person I know who takes race into consideration when talking to people. It wouldn't even occur to them. It definitely doesn't occur to me. People are people. Skin color is no different than someones hair color or eye color. It doesn't mean anything except their ancestors were exposed to more sunlight 150,000 years ago.

    How?
    Is he going to make separate laws for Gays/Blacks and ect like Democrats?

    As to whether we should capitalize, we should follow the rules of the English language, thus in this case if used as a proper noun, then we capitalize. To segregate out different races and capitalize some and not all is wrong.

    And you keep believing otherwise.

    The difference is you need that to be true where as that is not the case for Repub/L-tarians/ non lefty. You become like the guy who claims to be atheist. If he truly is an atheist he is required to be tied to GOD otherwise he can't be an atheist.

    In the same way you need racism to exist, because if it goes away, you lose your talking point on Trump/Republicans is lost and that is more important than racism ending. The object is to put down the racism and back away slowly.

    The history of fascism and perpetrated terror in and by the US is extraordinarily well documented.

    Fascism is a form of socialism. German fascism grew out of the German workers party. At one
    stage it was called "Bolshevik" but Hitler changed this.
    Fascism controls the economy. Communism is a form of "international Socialism" and OWNS the
    "means to production." Fascism is "national Socialism" where the government CONTROLS the
    means to production (everyone still owns their own property.)
    America fought both national and international Socialism.

    And the reason why the Left don't condemn imperial Russia and China as much as they condemn
    America is because they are themselves fascists - red fascists. You will note in the current statue
    issue in America that no statue of Lenin or Marx will be touched.

    Can't find the Wall Street Journal piece on this. A US judge ruled on an employment issue.
    That the definition of man and woman were completely arbitrary for the work place. The point
    is that this doesn't just stay a work place issue, any more than it arrived as a work place issue.
    The ruling reflects changes in society.

    The whole point of the liberal project was that the people of the world would be one.
    Condemning a Chinese boy and girl for dressing as Homer and Lisa Simpson could
    be seen as a liberal victory - not to the Woke. Like all issues it's a race to the bottom
    and at some point we could see food Nazis like we are seeing language Nazis, and
    Americans won't be able to eat One Pot Chinese Chicken anymore.
    When we are all tribes again there's nothing left to do but prove you are the better
    tribe, and start sharpening your spears.

    America won't get to the point. Long before it will be picked off by nations that saw
    America tear itself apart.
