True fascism: your twitter account getting locked

Not true fascism: when the government murders people in the streets of Minneapolis

Got it, thanks. Really lays bare your priorities.

"murdered": someone interfering with law enforcement and threatening severe bodily harm or death with a 4000 lb SUV is met with lethal force by a person fearing for his life.

Not murdered: literally everyone else in the entire state

My priorities are many, one of which is free speech. Another of which is law enforcement and equality under the rule of law. It's a shame she was killed but it's a dangerous game to threaten law enforcement like that. It's hardly ICE going out and randomly killing people as is being characterized.

What are your priorities? Defending people who abuse children and cross borders illegally? I assume it's not. So why not support ICE who is stopping that from happening?

It's from Latin for a bundle of sticks.

Everything - government, companies, social clubs, etc - unified as elements of one cohesive State, all directed towards one shared goal.

It's not about being past some position on the badness meter, it's about how things are shaped.
