    Biden has enacted FAR more fascist policy in his political career than Trump. Fascism embodies reactionary state violence used to consolidate the power of state and capital. From mass incarceration (which Biden is one of the chief architects of)—including literal concentration camps—to torture programs, mass surveillance, militarized policing, the violent repression of liberation movements, militarized borders, and support of fascists all over the place globally (including Saudi Arabia, India, Ukraine, Israel, and many others), to the ongoing American genocide, you’ve honestly been struck fucking blind by liberal propaganda if you don’t see the fascism Biden embodies. Heck, he’s been best buddies with outright segregationists for his entire political career, and was more or less of a closeted one himself (not wanting his “children [to] grow up in a [racial] jungle”).

    I never claimed both sides are the same. It’s just that between the two brands of status quo U.S. politics, there’s literally only one side. You’re in a socialist community, for crying out loud. Time to start figuring that out. The other side is the left; the other side is labor; the other side exists only within social movements in the U.S., because hundreds of years of that fascism (of the kind Hitler explicitly recognized, admired, and modeled his pogroms on) have stripped that side from the electoral landscape.

        Are you actually denying/apologizing for fascists in Ukraine? Fuckin’ yikes.

        Sure, there are fascists in Russia too. The difference is that the country I have some influence over as a resident and citizen isn’t supporting those fascists. Nor is it supporting fascists in North Korea. But ones in Urkaine? Yep. Ones in Saudi Arabia? Yep. Ones in Israel? Yep. What fascists are your country and its rulers supporting? You should really focus on that, bud.
