But don’t you see, if you complain about a right wing police state that has the highest prison population per capita on the planet and dominates half the planet with its overwhelming militarism, you’re the real fascist.
Fascism is when conservatives are made uncomfortable about ugly statistics, btw
Having known people who live through real police states, America is not a police state
Well let’s tie onto the “America isn’t that much of a police state” argument so we can one day get to mega shithole levels of police state
We don’t have police checkpoints, we don’t have to hide our phones when we go out places, we don’t have to edit our living patterns in any meaningful way. Do some people get stopped for looking a certain way? Absolutely. Are the police perfect? Absolutely not. But America is not a police state. Not even close. I’m sure you’d agree that words have power so choose better words. We can only communicate when everyone has a similar understanding of what words mean.
