This is one of your better ones KW. I agree it’s not for the feint of heart. I’ve been researching these topics basically on my own for the past 10+ years, and virtually nobody I know here in the uber liberal Bay Area seems to understand what’s going on, or they just blow it off as some far right Trump nonsense. And these are supposed to be the smart ones out here! It’s infuriating, frustrating, and downright lonely for me, though the Substack community helps. At this point, I wouldn’t even know where to start in explaining my viewpoint about what’s going on and why I think the way I do, so I mostly keep it to myself. It's so incredibly obvious by now that if one can't see it they won't until it's too late…
Thank you for the perceptive comment - and yes we know many of the Cali persuasion who cannot seem to overcome their own considerable indoctrination and prejudices. For some reason they believe they are above totalitarianism.
I do not think people in the USA really know the difference. They have been so conditioned to hate communism they have no idea they are living in a fascist state.
When the corporations and the State are one, that's fascism. It's also pretty much communism, I guess. Total state control and all that of the economy and the institutions. The historical blood feud between the communists and the fascists is kind of funny when you realize they were killing each other over who got to slap their label on the road to hell they were both traveling down.
You are so welcome - and I give great thanks for all of the readers and commenters here. We are becoming that wonderful thing - a community! The creator I believe I know does not make promises that are not kept.
Thanks for restacking.

Nothing to do with communism and Marxism, this is fascism.
Yes - an amalgam of all terms.

"This puts on people like myself the full pressure of trying to explain - once again - what is happening."
You really don't need to explain it, just explain our participation in it.
What if they had an election, or a war, and nobody showed up!
That's the answer, we will or not get it.
Thanks KW, and thanks for the link (I had to click on it) to Chis Stapleton's National Anthem.
Thanks for all your good work. Pray God will come back to the America that has rejected Him. 🙏🇺🇸

Appreciate the restack!
This is the second time in my life I will take zero pleasure in telling everyone "I told you".
