How a nation becomes fascist
“The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.”
— Bertrand Russell, Freedom and Government (1940).

Kinda like when the government & pharma lock people in their house to avoid the flu
And force them to get untested shot? That “partnership” between government and industry might be a good example of fascism.
Jesus Christ, what a retarded response.

I wasn’t locked in my house. I also don’t recall feds being sent to big cities.
Roaming big cities and arresting people for taking off their mask or not social distancing. It wasn’t good, but it wasn’t great. Not sure you can compare Call of Duty bros to health officials trying to keep people from dying. Which is ironic; boo Covid measures but fawning when the Feds shoot a person for daring to stand up.
The MN national guard wasn’t exactly handing out donuts

You people set up hotlines to have neighbors rat each other out.
And get them arrested for an additional car in their driveway. Then you filled outdoor skate parks with sand.
Colluded with social media giants to censor speech, created a "Disinformation Governance Board,"
which was so Orwellian, that it was shelved, an alleged leader giving a sneering speech with a red backdrop and explaining how Jews, er, "UltraMAGA" was responsible for the country's problems, ever after he defeated them, floated the idea of cancelling national elections.
How is the Trump Administration censoring the speech of "The Resistance?"
What happens to a nation where laws and borders are not respected and enforced?
Alexander Hamilton: "A sacred respect for constitutional law is the vital principle of a free government".
Oh Please! Save it.

Bertrand Russell?
“He was imprisoned in 1918 for opposing the US entering World War I, and later held that a Nazi victory might be preferable to a devastating war.”
