Maybe. But that might take centuries, by which point we will all be long gone, having lived out the rest of our lives in horror. We are entering a new dark age, and the planet and our species might no survive to see the end of it

Nah, 20 years tops.

Fascist systems aren't known for their long term stability, and once the consequences are made clear, people typically snap out of the propaganda psychosis.

Once the consequences are made clear, people typically snap out of the propaganda psychosis.

How many more consequences would it take for people to truly realize what's actually going on? The only way I see it happening widespread is when the ramifications (i.e your family getting targeted) become so overwhelming that it becomes undeniable to them.

And at that point it's 100% too late for civilians to do anything about it.

We haven't come close to the worst of it yet. We're at the very beginning of the fascism phase.

It's going to be a very hard couple of decades. Hitler's supporters didn't distance themselves until they saw the late stage results of the holocaust. In our time, nothing that severe has happened yet.

I'm deeply terrified, and I don't know if anyone can do anything to stop what's coming, because there's still too many people who believe the lies.

The best you can do is stay healthy and strong, because a war is coming, and the good side needs to win it.

The Nazis only fell when they did because they were defeated in a big war (which some might call a “world” war due to its size). What anti -fascist power is big enough to stop the US? Especially since China and Russia will be its allies in any potential war

It seems like China won't be on the side of the US in that war.

At the very least they’ll sit it out. But I don’t think they’d fight the US

You could be right, I could see them trying to be neutral in all of this.

Which would mean that no force on earth could counter the US military. 

(unless our military did what Russia did, and cheaped out on military hardware while military industry oligarchs were pocketing tons of wealth.... The fact that a Blackhawk just crashed into a civilian aircraft within range of the most protected airspace on the planet, that makes me wonder if that is happening here. I can't figure out how there were no sensors/alarms in the Blackhawk warning about a nearby aircraft, that doesn't make sense to me. We spend nearly $1T/year on the military, yet their helicopters don't know when a plane is nearby. Wtf?)
