Can you participate in a thought experiment with me? The posts warning about fascism are good, but I’m wondering what you think fascism actually looks like. Give a thought, and list what it looks like. Don’t just say “the end of democracy.” List what the concrete changes will be and make it local. “In my town/city/county/state the following will happen…” Think about it before replying. Not just for #BlackMastodon .

Forced vaccination. Concentration camps. Children taken from their parents. Social credit score basic income. 15 minute cities. Ban on meat. Ban on home grown farming. No right to drive your own car. Flying only for elite. Vaccine passport everywhere. AI “Factcheck” and report on all conversation text and spoken.No more memes 😭
Basically all the things that socialists wish for.
@EvolLove @blackmastodon OK you are about to be blocked. But if you have any rational thought left, you should try and think about how the people who support fascism create concentration camps, take children from their parent and make it impossible for average income people to drive or fly now. Not in some imaginary future you are thinking of. No need to respond because you are blocked.
@fulanigirl @blackmastodon I’d recommend blocking that entire instance. It’s a dumpster. ❤️
@angiebaby @blackmastodon already done!

I come from a fascistic state. I can tell you exactly what it looks like. Everybody’s terrified. All of the time. Some are terrified of the government, but most are terrified because of government propaganda. Every person who’s strange in any way is a threat to be eliminated. Violence is everywhere bubbling just under the surface. Everywhere are calls for unity. You keep your divisive thoughts to yourself. You become a jumble of secrets >> @blackmastodonhiding behind a conformist façade. You lie to everyone. Your parents, your loved ones. No one must know you’re different. There’s always an emergency. You don’t have time to relax. There’s no time for maintenance, for taking care of yourself or others because the threat is ever present and always takes priority. You work all the time because work is always in a state of emergency as well. You don’t talk to your colleagues about politics. >>

You try not to talk to them at all. Who knows what side anyone is on. Every day is the same. Every person is the same. Except when the war (there’s always a war) gets really bad, or comes too close, and then the fear, the hatred, the violence is even closer to the surface, and you hide yourself even deeper.You think you should be brave and fight for your freedom, but you’re alone, with no one to trust, and no one you can open up to.
That is fascism.
