“Our unhinged policies have destroyed the agricultural labor force and ruined free markets. Now we’re going to use coercion & bribery to induce political satellite nations to take unwanted goods while propping up producers with central-government handouts.

What makes you bring up the Soviet Union?”

Inspired by Thatcher, Japan's PM-in-waiting Takaichi smashes glass ceiling
Sanae Takaichi came out top in a male-dominated race to lead Japan's ruling party on Saturday, putting her on course to emulate her hero, former British leader Margaret Thatcher, and become her country's first female prime minister.

Earmark of a fascist state.

Our law about not putting the faces of the living money was explicitly to avoid politicization of our currency and the creation/amplification of cults of personality.

Eg: We don’t put our living leaders on coins because we are a country with No Kings.

Until now.

This bizarre and somewhat terrifying ad showing Andrew Cuomo as an incompetent fuckup who can’t do normal jobs, but still wants to be mayor of America’s biggest city was brought to you by generative AI and <checks notes>…

…The Cuomo campaign?

The sole reason Trump assembled the entirety of the top global leadership of America’s armed forces was to tell them the “real enemy” is Americans in blue-voting majority-nonwhite cities like New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Just saying the formerly quiet part out loud.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Most historians say the lesson of the Civil War should be “never again”

Unfortunately the lesson this filth and their hardcore supporters took is “it never ended”

I never thought another American civil war could happen, but less than a year into this administration I now worry it’s inevitable
