Fascist State Takes Shape

Under a slew of unconstitutional Supreme Court rulings America's budding authoritarian government is taking shape. The rulings themselves, however awful, mean-spirited and destructive of individual liberty and bodily autonomy, represent a larger problem of a lack of good-will. If this sounds like it justifies the 'snowflake' accusation, wanting everyone to be nice and not hurt your feelings, think again because it's the foundation of everything. 

Everyone is supposed to be equal before the law. 

American 'conservatives' don't believe in this. Once they go there, death camps follow. Whoa, you might say, that's a big leap from the one to the other. But it's not. Dehumanization lies on a scale. America's prisons are concentration camps for black men, just as shooting black people is not held to be illegal unless it really looks bad and might force Republicans to own their lies. Even that standard and ruse is falling. Consider the slander of BLM.

Open racism is okay in 'conservative' circles as it has never been before. By 'before' I mean since civil rights legislation. Republicans have always wanted to go back to some form of authoritarian government. This is rooted in the religious beliefs of Calvinism which insist on arbitrary salvation. If some people are born 'saved' and and others damned why not entire races and ethnographic entities? Exceptionalism and Calvinism go together. 

Pray you're on the chosen side of the line. If not, you have no rights at all. Not even to life.
