I mean yes this is bad, but America is not going to end itself just because women have rights. A lot more to it than that reductive take

Right? It's not just women. But also because POC have rights. And gays. And because trans people exist.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 6 months ago

Yeah, but second best isnt the best, so fuck everyone else,we're bringing this shit down.

This is also part of it.

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.
