i think business interests have already made immigrants exploitable to their feasible maximum, i don't think they can get in any better of a position other than actual literal indentured servitude

hell, they've probably already determined that the faint sense that immigrants can succeed makes them more efficient than outright slavery

she's right. calling biden a fascist implies that you think a liberal democracy isn't capable of producing the harmful outcomes this society has produced which is blatantly incorrect

it should be noted while Eco is obviously a knowledgeable source his 14 points are fairly...intentionally narrow. Like, on paper you're not meant to use it like a checklist with more checks meaning more fascist, and rather it's just kinda a general guideline for 'hey, be worried if these things happen a lot!', but he kinda knew how people would take it and chose to present them in the most 'ah well MY government only checks, like, seven of those, 50/50 fascism is fine' way.

I've always liked the 'three forms of fascism' Payne put out, where there's 'Fascist Negations (crushing the 'liberal' and 'communist' opposition but also used against the opposing conservative forces), the Fascist Goals (which are...goals of fascism, crazy I know, but Payne mainly focused on the ordering of society and the centralization of power going with a more nationalist and imperialist agenda), and the Fascist Aesthetic (the glorification of violence and romanticizing the past to create rigid social roles for genders and classes).

I'd say Biden hits the aesthetic and goals well but he's kinda too much of a coward to do the negations. He loves crushing his leftward enemies, don't get me wrong, but he does genuinely seem to want to work with the conservatives and seems to want their approval more than anyone else's.

Soooo good news guys, we're only MOSTLY fascist!

Also this, while she's using 'uh actually he's a neoliberal' as a way to defend him I do agree that calling everyone we dislike 'fascist' creates a worldview where people don't believe that a liberal democracy can do 'fascist stuff' when neoliberalism is actually a very brutal and cruel system on its own

GetFiscal and BabyFinland were right on their podcast to describe the Sanders campaign as a "Bernie ex machina", people were expecting that once in the office he'd just be able to sweep away everything

the president absolutely could do a lot of the things bernie was campaigning for. Now whether he wouldh ave actually done those things is impossible to say. The post-2020 bernie is a different person then the hypothetical 2016 potus bernie.

Wait you think that there's a serious amount of Democrats who think the Republicans are going to vote anything but down?

Where do you get this idea that you are smarter than people who do this for a living? They're not stupid, they're soul-less and compromised.

Don't confuse what you see of politics with what is actually going on.

I'm sure this is sourced succ, but it seems like they are correct here?
