  • India and Israel are just farther along on the same path we’re on in multiple countries in the West. Fascism feeds off the rising inequality and exploitation of Capitalist excesses. It could easily have barrelled ahead further here first if dominant groups here were any less accepting of cultural differences (we could still do better, but we’re at least at the bare minimum of civility) AND if we weren’t as religiously unaffiliated and/or atheistic*.

    (*This is not a knock at spirituality. I only say this because another calling card of fascism is for the dominant local culture’s religion to be contorted into its absolute worst, most corrupt possible form so it may be weaponized in whipping up monstrous sentiments towards scapegoated outcast groups.)
