Living in the middle of a fascist breakdown of society makes me, and all of my freedom and safety loving friends, incredibly sensitive towards it. I've had a read of some of your other posts, and my initial read of you as some American maga idiot was wrong.

That said, you are incredibly lucky to be living in a fascism-proof society and you should be thanking your fellow countrymen, all the way back to the French Revolution, for this fact. You don't have women in your hospitals dying of perfectly treatable conditions because the idiots in power have decided women don't deserve bodily autonomy.

You don't have nazis holding chainsaws tearing through your federal government. You don't have students disappearing off the streets into offshore concentration camps. You don't have tyrants arresting judges. None of these things are happening, or could happen, in France because heads would roll, again.

So color me unimpressed by your naive notions about what fascism is and isn't.
