    You were around for the last seven months or so, right?

    What we’re seeing now is not business as usual.

      I would say it is business as usual, except that we have entered a new phase where it is harder to maintain the illusion that the point of the business all along wasn’t to impoverish and essentially enslave the majority of the people.

      No, it’s business as usual. The only difference is that what was typically only done abroad, is now being done domestically. Fascism is colonialism coming home to roost.

      It’s the same, they’re just explicit about it. They’re done pretending it’s anything but what it’s always been.

      Edit: I’d reply but they’re blocked by me for defending the party that has sanewashed fascism since Dubya. Sorry I called out the party that didn’t arrest Trump.
