Fascism with a smiley face.
The entire police force of a small town in Kansas just raided its newspaper and seized all of its computers, documents, and hard drives. I've never seen a story like this. kansasreflector.com/2023/08/…

Yes and take note of who is in power now and how much they avoid the truth..

yet another reason why we must Legalize drugs to save the environment: given that cops currently can't be reformed or defended, it's important to defang them.

Who’s a fascist Marianne?

In my experience, just another " local community" power play of those "politically connected" going after the one or the other. Usually, the news and "politically connected" are power playing the "politically unconnected " DISTRUPT FOR LAW and ORDER with EQUALITY for ALL!

Removing literature from libraries, using skewed Christian dogma while proclaiming virtue...sounds like Nazis.

That is what you are offering. Bertram Gross described it as friendly fascism, Sheldon Wolin called it inverted totalitarianism. It's what we are in Ukraine for, besides getting you another spare country.

There will always be more people that seek positions of authority to abuse that power than there are those that seek authority for anything righteous. Why wouldn’t they abuse their power with no one to hold them to account? Such is human nature.

I don’t see a smile. Can we just call it fascism?
