I did the same thing 23 years ago, when Dubya pooped out the very fascist USA Patriot Act and people started disappearing in Gitmo without due process, and I’ve been spending a quarter of a century warning people that the US is a fascist country and about to get worse.
Sadly, I hate to tell you I told you so.
But there’s one thing I didn’t see coming: I didn’t expect that the people responsible for turning the country full-on fascist would be such pathetic losers.
US will forget about this as they did it back then and still unironically call themselves the “free-est country in the whole world.”
Hollywood and bigtech assisting it along the way.
US has always been “by the rich, for the rich” exploiting the rest.
I mean… Getting an academic job is not “fleeing”.
The comments on HN are a shitshow. Hard to tell if they’re propaganda operatives or real Americans with the MAGA mental illness, but it’s crystal clear the US is a failed state collapsing into fascism.
