    We’re not headed towards fascism. We’re already fascist. This is nothing more than silencing free speech. Just silencing a voice that said things the establishment didn’t like. It’s no different from the S.S. arresting germans who spoke jewish sympathy.

    We’re not becoming fascist. We’re already there.

      Who “we”? Not me. You seem to have tried to critique a fascist (‘government’) group of armed robbers, extorters, homiciders and genociders. Your critique would probably have more effect if you stopped supporting legitimacy of use of force of theirs by counting your name as part of that (‘government’ ) organization with the first person plural “we”. THEY are fascists. THEY barely have managed scrounging a flimsy 19% of votes of the 330 000 000 residents of the so-callled U.S.A lands they have been occupying with surveillance, guns and bombs. THEY have addresses in the so-called U.S.A., on stolen indigenous tribal lands etc. THEY have been comitting genocide and have not stopped yet. THEY have real bank accounts with real addresses with specific amounts owing to tens of millions of victims per year so far.

      Bit of nitpicking here, but that would have been the job of the Gestapo.
