    I want to say to all the “this could never happen to my country, we remember history”-people:

    Yes it could. One economic crisis too many; a few gifted power hungry ghouls in the wrong place; hundreds little comprimises taken by establishment to preserve the status quo – and you will find your neighbours tolerating (and even welcoming) oppression of the less fortunate.

    No society is immune.

      In nazi Germany, once they had successfully dehumanized the Jewish population and normalized abuse, people were literally narcing on their Jewish neighbors (often friends/colleagues) in an effort to get at their apartment or other belongings. This is not unthinkable with the trajectory the USA is on right now.

    Stop, I can only get so erect at the thought of Steven “Dogcum Chowder” Crowder getting arrested and brutalized by the same forces he worships

    (the fellow in the meme is a far-right ghoul, for those of you who aren’t aware)

    Do you Americans mumble the last 2 lines of your anthem now? Because you’re neither of those things anymore.

    Yep freest country in the world where you’re free to choose which state chooses the prison you’re in.

    I just wish this wasn’t 100% AI because it makes a good point =/

    Edit: I was wrong, this is a photo shop job.

      It’s not AI, the shopped in cops are from a picture taken during the 2019 protests in Moscow caused by the violations in the Moscow City Duma Elections. Man in striped shirt detained at a protest
