U.S. Added to Global Human Rights Watchlist Over Declining Civil Liberties

'The move comes amid President Donald Trump’s “assault on democratic norms and global cooperation,” said CIVICUS—a global alliance and network of civil society groups, including Amnesty International, that advocates for greater citizen action in areas where civil liberties are limited—in a press release. The organization also cited the Administration’s cut of more than 90% of its foreign aid contracts and its crackdown on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)—which Trump called “illegal and immoral discrimination programs”—through executive action.'

Welcome to Trump’s authoritarian fascist state, where individuals are arrested and silenced for exercising their right to freedom of expression.

LOL. Yeah, don't want to take those tranny rights away or ban men from playing in women's sports and using women's bathrooms, all things Americans actually favor the right on.

By all means look for differences, then pretend that because there are some then there's no fascism, that's an exercise in self delusion though. You fools label democrats as "Marxists" yet there's a world of difference between a Marxist state and one under say Biden or Obama, it's curious how those differences though never factor into your "thinking" when calling democrats "Marxists".

I got that book when I was 18, around 1977 and found it very absorbing. I took an interest in it because the TV series The World at War had been on TV a few months before and the book was a more detailed study of how the Nazis rose to power.

It wasn't dull either, I suspected it might be and it was the first time I took any interest in anything like history. It was very readable, lots of details, names, places and so on, but once I'd read it I had a very good idea of what a fascist state looks like and how it can arise seemingly out of nowhere.

Also when I was at that age I'd regularly meet people who'd survived the war, much of my home city was bombed too and there were reminders everywhere of the destruction wrought by Hitler and that made it much more real, not some abstract academic subject to be discussed in some highbrow detached fashion.

Your first response is just word salad a'la Kamala.

Good you read it, bad you actually don't understand it.

Trump is gradually transforming the executive branch into a fascist, intolerant, repressive system. Unconstrained by congress unconstrained by the judiciary, basically the beginnings of a dictatorial regime.

Some of us who know about these things, who have read history, how fascism begins, can see this very clearly.

Others either lie or are so uneducated that the claims seem outrageous, comical, but don't react from ignorance, educate yourself, for example read this. It's quite long but quite engrossing not boring, lots of detail. You'll see how a once relatively normal culture can be hijacked by maniacs, largely because the population were unprepared and too passive until catastrophe struck.

If you won't resist fascism then you must eventuality bear some responsibility for it.

Trump is a fascist, and he's installing fascists into key roles in the federal government. We have an emasculated congress where few if any republicans dare speak out or resist and that's because of fear, fear for them and their families.

No sensible person has said "Trump is the same as Hitler" that's not what the comparison is.

You need to do some studying and read about how fascism grew in say Germany. How Hitler and the party gradually transformed the system so that it was easier to suppress dissent, easier to incapacitate political opponents, easier to perform actions that were technically unlawful and so on.

Read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich actually seriously read it, it's a long book, lots of details but quite absorbing and you'll see how a very gradual process unfolded. Took years but what I see unfolding today it is very clear to me how the US has started this transformation.

Have you not read about the Hispanic US Citizen who supported Trump? voted for him but was arrested and handcuffed by ICE? I'm pretty sure he doesn't share your simplistic sanitized view anymore.

Trump and his army of yes-men are right now discovering what they can get away with, what they cannot be prevented from doing and it's already very clear to me that they can do almost anything they want, laws don't matter when they cannot be enforced.

Tissue? 312-226

I'm sorry that English isn't your first language, that explains your confusion.

Right, but you just said you haven't read it, so...anyway, that's typical of the trumpanzees here.

Those are words, they are just strung together in contentless meaningless jibber jabber.

I've read it several times and actually owned a 2nd printing of it before I lost it in a basement flood.

I've also read Achtung Panzer, On War, Mein Kampf, the Art of War, The Guns of August, At Dawn we Slept, and many other books on various wars and political situations.

Nice line steal, Pee Wee.

I understand them far more than you do.

 

[BackAgain]

Trump is a fascist,

Repeating your ignorant lie isn’t proof of your imbecile claim, ya pathetic shitbag.

Ironic post nomiination ^ from the diseased brain of Hemlock Homeless.

Yes, for you proof would be Trump wearing a swastika armband so of course he's not a fascist.

Nah. But since you don’t even know what the term means, having you spout your gibberish is ironic and yet fully stupid — like you.

I read Mein Kampf and I get horrified by the fact the guy wrote it all out and the people in power at the time didn't believe him.

Shylock Homo reads it and says "Man this guy has some great ideas on what to do with Jews"!

 

[otto105]

Fascists don't downsize government.

Have you actually ever read that book?

I’m sure you have right simpy.

Fascism does what it wants once the old government is made to comply.

You continue to show that every time you reach your intellectual bottom, you break out the dynamite to keep going down.

 

[BackAgain]

Fascism is alleged to be “right wing” but that’s bogus since left wing dictators are just as or likely more authoritarian than the so-called “right.”

And scumbags like Shitlock Homeless can’t even point to anything “authoritarian” in President Trump’s policies. Again, if the moron (Hemlock Homeless) were capable of honesty, he would admit that the former President, Potato, was far more authoritarian in how he and his regime governed.

That’s hilarious simpy.

Post again how tariffs are a collectible tax on a foreign country.

tariffs are tariffs. It's up to the importer and the seller to figure out how much of it they eat as a deduction to their profit margins, and how much they pass onto the consumer, or in some cases an intermediary and then the seller and THEN the consumer, who may also eat into their profit margin.
