Can you participate in a thought experiment with me? The posts warning about fascism are good, but I’m wondering what you think fascism actually looks like. Give a thought, and list what it looks like. Don’t just say “the end of democracy.” List what the concrete changes will be and make it local. “In my town/city/county/state the following will happen…” Think about it before replying. Not just for #BlackMastodon .
@fulanigirl@blacktwitter.io @blackmastodon@a.gup.pe The electoral system will be partially, selectively commandeered by the state, sufficient to keep up illusions of democracy long after the need for such pretense will have effectively passed, in fact.
As climate change wreaks havoc on agriculture, food shortages will result, but imposed selectively on partisan cities. Farm work will become more formally enslavement as mechanical agriculture becomes less cost-effective.
@fulanigirl@blacktwitter.io @blackmastodon@a.gup.pe Food and job riots will occur in several cities and be brutally suppressed, with mass casualties. One or more state capitols will be bombed, and torture of political prisoners will become routine and acknowledged, even celebrated. Formal public schools will be curtailed in duration and efficacy. Service academies will become widespread, as well as punk community education. Women will be relegated to child care but also work menial remote jobs.
