The terminally online are handing over their minds to others and being subjected to a current and sustained adverserial nation state psyop of foreign influence.

If one chose to unplug they would realise in short time how easily and how often they are being programmed to buy into rage-bait through mis and disinformation campaigns.

It's got to the point where a significant number of people are easily triggered by beige and mundane topics such as what brand of car a stranger has purchased to how someone identifies sexually and if someone lists two basic pronouns on an email.

Until people realize they actually control so very little in their day-to-day lives I fear it will only get worse.

The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies "something not desirable" ― George Orwell, Essays So this is a "something not desirable done by the current US administration" tracker.

George Orwell wrote this because of how words are co-opted by the media to obfuscate and dilute their meaning. A discussion can still define it and that definition can be used for the purpose of discussion.

In this case, the site has a bunch of sliders, whereby each slider indicates how far along we are on that axis of what they're calling fascism. Each of those axes can easily be one or more individual topics. At any rate, this website is at least more specific than "something not desirable" when it comes to how it defines fascism.

Well, except there are 14 characteristics being reviewed, so is this still true?

True. Trump's plan is to stop having palestinians, that would solve it. And if you can't kill them all, just deport them. Dead people have no claims; deported people is the next best thing. Its not about left or right, and never is - its about power and money. F** the people, right?

Here's the meaning.

> fascism /făsh′ĭz″əm/

> A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Looks to me that a lot of the current happenings in the US are heading in this direction.
