Imperial expansion is a key concept in fascism. Mussolini invaded Ethiopia, Hitler plowed across Europe for "Lebensraum." Trump is continuing that long fascist and American tradition. Remember, Manifest Destiny inspired Hitler. He said, "The Volga is our Mississippi."

Since everyone is overlooking racism for "animal rights", I will once again point to how often colonialist language is used in "animal rights" circles. "Adopt don't shop" is a perfect example of this. Circles that uphold the saviour complex/white saviour tropes are CLEARLY going to be racist.

Media consolidation + regulatory leverage is a dangerous mix. This is the exact playbook Putin used in Russia. First, oligarchs consolidate media. Then, the state applies pressure through regulators, courts, and licensing. Critical journalism doesnāt get banned outright, but just quietly disappears.

Only people who've never been incarcerated by psychiatry think it's the solution. Only them. The doctors, the family members. That's what they tell themselves. People who go through it, maybe they're even grateful it stabilized them, mostly agree that it is a terribly inhumane experience.
