I know I don't post much these days, especially in this forum, but I found this website pretty interesting. Hopefully it will make you think. Well, that is if you have an openmind.

Neo-conservative enough, though.
No, i wasn't being an asshole or anything. If i'm going to be in a pissy mood i'll go piss people i dont like off, instead of fellow stoners :).
What I meant is, although America is going in that direction, it's unstoppable. Many citizens neglect their original rights and shit and its all going to be flushed away soon.
You have my agreement there. :)Quote:

I never said that we are a facist country, but it looks like there are a lot of things that seem to show us heading in that direction. It is hard to imagine living in a facist country, but refusing to believe that it could happen here is just being ignorant.
Hey guys dont forget that Germany and Italy had the coziest relationship ever with nazism and fascism going hand in hand. the only real (and major) difference is that fascism sought to regionally segregate those that didnt live up to their ideals and keep them out. Nazism just said "fuck em up with the gas"
Well, the trouble with calling a country fascist is that fascism is a very vaguely defined word. If we want to use Mussolini's original intended definition, the fusion of state and corporate power, then we are well under way. But most people's definitions of fascism include some type of absolute totalitarianism, and our country is more of a seriously corrupt bureaucracy where the people have the illusion of freedom by being given a choice every four years between two rich white heterosexual Christian capitalists with slightly varying agendas for maintaining the status quo, so I probably wouldn't call it fascist by the modern standard definition, but whatever it is it's a long way from freedom.
