tired of everything being about america - tchncs

people online assume that you live in america, people always that you are talking about america. whenever there are news or discussions and the language that is used is english, everything is about america. I’m tired of it. stop rubbing this stuff into my face. I don’t care about your stupid country

Yes, because america falling into fascism would be a bad thing for literally everyone. If you think the USA is bad now, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Yes, because america falling into fascism

I'd like to know what is your definition of fascism.

Fascism is notoriously difficult to define. There’s a huge amount of contention on it among historians, but one definition I like is Rodger Griffin’s. In his definition the core ideology of fascism is

(i) the rebirth myth (ii) populist ultra-nationalism (iii) the myth of decadence

I think the MAGA movement pretty transparently meets all 3. The rebirth myth is literally in its name, the movement is pretty openly populist and ultra-nationalist, and decadence is how they describe their enemies (e.g. their rhetoric around trans and queer folk).

I don't know too much about the MAGA movement, as I'm not american, but thanks for sharing your views.
