    They should say this publicly, instead of behind closed doors.

    Cowards. We won’t forget.

      It’s because it’s not true. Capitalism is in crisis. It’s rate of profit will fall and Americas entire economy is dependent on finance and oil capital. Both of which are in crisis.

      The oligarchs gave power to the fascist to protect their profits. The tarrifs are nothing more than a war on the working class.

      They will enjoy the free labor from the concentration camps.

      The only CEOs that care will be the ones who’s companies fail as the concentration of capital continues. These tarrifs and other policies are designed for just that. To benefit the top oligarchs that align themselves with the fascist.

      Don’t expect the capitalist to be the ones to fight Fascism. They will lose to big capital that aligns with it.

      Sadly, as a populace, we sure as fuck will, and faster than we should.

      Some of us won’t forget. 🤜🤛

      (sadly the best we can hope for is that enough of us won’t forget)

        I’d like to think with trump being such a disaster for everything, that people will write the right wing off, but this is america we’re talking about. That won’t happen.

          After 2020 I thought he was surely cooked. Then after Jan 06 I thought surely no one with sense wants to do anything but run as fast as they can from these cultists, and going into 2024 I thought Kamala isn’t perfect but at least everyone finally has trump’s number.

          Then I woke up the day after the 2024 election:

          The sad truth is a huge part of this country is OK with fascism and at least as many seem to be ambivalent. (or were so until sometime after November, 2024)

          We might get a temp reprieve again like after WWII until enough of us that are alive now die off, then folks will forget again. That’s how we got Israel speed-running Holocaust 2.0 and Trump working hard on Hitler 2.0. The folks who just want bottomless power and wealth never stopped wanting it and the folks who remembered how bad it could get eventually lost the numbers game.

          Sorry to sound so damn pessimistic but the one thing I really looked around after decades on the planet and could feel proud of about humanity was that at the very least we were getting better, however slowly.

          Now I’m less sure. Now I’m starting to think it’s a cycle that’s just long enough that most of us don’t perceive it.
