@thomholwerda If you think the main problem is Americans are dumb, then you're going to be surprised when authoritarianism reaches your country

So many centrists - and even leftists - in the US still seem to believe that all of this will be over after the next election. -

And that this also has to be a worldwide movement, because the authoritarian push is happening on a global scale. What I disagree with is the hopelessness and simplicity of the statement. This is going to require steady action for decades, but we will prevail. It's also going to require dismantling the worldwide surveillance state with the tech lords at the helm. It's going to require a worldwide effort to halt Russia. (1/2)

Germany eventually became a trusted ally. And while I agree that we have to do a LOT more than rely on this election, and we need to prevent this from happening again, the idea that the damage cant be undone or that fascism is a uniquely American problem is..blatantly incorrect.
