    Wow you must think pretty much every first world nation is fascist then. It takes more than what you’re saying to be fascist. Far right governments existed before fascism , and while America is far from progressive, it’s not really fascist either.

      Sadly that’s the reality of the world we live in. Name a single first world nation in the world that isn’t ruled by corrupted politicians or that isn’t a police state ready to beat people at the first occasion.

      While the policies of modern states may not be as violent and radical as that of fascist regimes from the past keep in mind that never in history nations had so much control and influence over people. Mass surveillance is something hitler or mussolini would have dream of.
