They just gave a woman 30 years in prison for having leftist poetry in her car, and her husband got 50 years for taking it out of her trunk, because taking a box of stuff out of your wife's trunk is considered obstruction.

Yet Trump got nothing for steak ng hundreds of classified documents, selling them, and moving them around to avoid detection by the FBI, which is real obstruction.

But yeah, let's clutch our pearls for the evil soccer mom with empathy.

This is so brutal but still nobody does nothing except condamn this shit online. Imagine yourself being in their place. Downvote me all you want and still it changes nothing. USA today is reaping what it sow for decades. And now it's just a shithole with gucci belt. My country is not perfect, but I'm grateful I'm not born in USA.

[–] FluorideMind@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

We really need to make like the French and band together to stop the wealthy from screwing us.

North Korea would likely not be a worse place than China or the US if their economy wasn't shit. And a lot of that is literally just The Great US Empire (and its vassals) restricting global trade by gunboat politics since the war. Cuba has the same problem: Immense evolutionary pressure to harden their government against US-caused regime change followed by total exploitation combined with reduced trade options.

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago

I got news from you on their economy straight from the western media.

https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/north-korea-economy-success-e80f7062

Ita hard to know anything about North Korea for certain but it seems to me the terrible economic conditions we hear about outside of North Korea were mainly during the 90s. Seems like after that the narrative was continued as a propaganda effort but it's hard to know. There is alot of North Korean South Korean and CIA propaganda floating around and it's hard to know what's what.

We live in a fascist country now.

"But there's no mass graves."

Not yet. And it doesn't matter. There isn't just one flavor of fascism. There isn't just extreme fascism or no fascism.

This is a facist nation because it is behaving like a fascist nation. And it's not going to get better unless voters start being more responsible. And it might even be too late for that.

The idea that we have to wait until the worst cas scenario actually takes place before doing anything about it is ridiculous. We have seen all of this, many times before. We already know where it leads, unless it is stopped. We don't have to wait, just because the people who benefit by that waiting demand it.

We don't have to do what the worst people in the world demand. We've seen how this exact scenario leads to death camps, and the wholesale slaughter of millions. We have the people in place who think that's a good idea, and they have already built and are populating concentration camps with cremation facilities. Do we have to wait until we smell roasting flesh from the smokestacks before we do anything? Are we going to accept their excuses when they claim they are only burning the bodies of those who died "natural" deaths? In a concentration camp?

We already know where this leads, every time. We don't have to make them prove it, and we don't have to accept their lame denials, or their rationalizations. We know what they want, and we see them moving quickly and decisively in that direction. We don't have to wait until it actually happens before we stop them.

It's the 'Murican way

Do nothing, until circumstances force action

It's quite fascinating to see from the comfort of a civilised country.

Depressing, particularly because it keeps happening, but still grimly fascinating

"There are no mass graves"

Ask the hundreds of people who entered ICE internment camps and never left. Alligator Alcatraz. 2/3rds of the 1,800 people "disappeared"

Every fascist regime was established in democratic elections. No fascist regime was overthrown in democratic elections.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Fascism is proof that capitalism is incompatible with democracy.

To be the pedantic smart ass that I am, Mussolini in Italy and Franco in Spain weren't voted in.

I want to add (without prison sentences... for now) all the push of Europe to do the internet surveillance China style, after we have criticized it so much.

Is so sad how "autocratic government surveillance" suddenly becomes "protecting the children"...

Fuck politicians, hope they all die a terrible death. They deserve all the hate in the world and then a bit more.

The saddest part about it is how well it works. People are still falling for this shit. We never learn anything.

Someone got 50 YEARS for protesting ICE

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

A life sentence for protesting.

This is America.

Our Constitution is effectively over and a frightening percentage of Americans aren't even aware, or don't even care.

Personally, I'm crossing my fingers for Balkanization. Staying chained to this sinking ship is not wise.

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Two people who weren't even there, who never discussed the illegal acts, who were only in a group chat where people discussed attending a legal protest, were sentenced to 50 years.

But they were trans women in Texas. So the jury had no problem sending them to a men's prison without any crimes being committed.

Floating paint chips?

In the defense of the North Korea outrage, they lobotomised the kid and sent the dying body back to US.

This is in extremely poor taste considering what happened to the kid in the picture. That's what is terrifying, not a vandalism arrest.

We should oppose fascism without belittling its victims, regardless of which state they're under.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I don't think this is belittling the kid at all. Just pointing out that we're now doing approximately the same thing at home.

I feel like the guy who got 30 years for picking up a box of zines is a much better example here.
