    I knew this day was coming now we got ICE. Corporate Democrats will talk about how, oh, you know, this was not the intention, but honestly, who are you fooling? They use compartmentalization and a bunch of mumbo jumbo to bamboozle your ass but every step forward is a step closer to the full fascist state.

    They play this game of, “oh, but you have to play it by the rules”, but they outpace the rules and you’re left behind dealing with the bureaucracy. This is corporatism, which is really just fascism, in the later stages of empire and capitalistic rot.

    How are we to have free and fair elections, if money is the number one contributor to a successful political campaign. How are we to say we elected someone to act on our behalf when they are representatives and not a delegates that we can quickly deal with if they go against our will? I was right in the past and I’m reluctant to say what I think because people will want to nail me to a cross like they did before. Isn’t that kind of funny how the turd herd works, if you go against what the herd thinks, you’ll get ostracized, even though give it some time and y’all will be on the same page. Kinda.

    Some people are just out of sync with reality, and if this is the direction we are headed, it is accelerationism, not by our choice, but by design that will take place and eventually we will all be on the same page. So have some patience, because we’re all going to get what’s coming to us.

    What you do overseas will come back to you and me. The colonizer will be colonized.

    This is the Imperial Boomerang. Yankee flavored.

    The “Homeland” shit was such a (fascist) red flag even then. Telling that there’s never been any real attempt to roll that or the “patriot” act back by either party.

    Edit: also, the guy appointed as the first head of that dept, Michael Chertoff, was heavily invested in those body scanners they put in every airport.

    The day-of, I just remember my teacher being out in the hallway on the phone for like 30 minutes, then an announcement was made over the intercom that parents would be picking us up. I didn’t know what happened until I got home. Then we just watched news replay the towers getting hit over and over for a few days.

    A few years later, I remember being instructed on coloring in an outline of the country of Afghanistan (joke here about Americans only learn geography from war) and the teacher told us if we wanted to draw a bomb or something in the air above it, that’d be okay. Shit was absolutely fucked. I remember having a mock vote for Kerry v Bush and I was the only kid who didn’t vote Bush and the principal called my parents to collect me from school for the day.
