State Power Is a Fearsome Power

[Ethereal]

One of the worst trends I've observed over recent years is the tendency of some people to exercise less and less skepticism towards state power. This is especially bizarre to observe in a country that was founded on radical skepticism towards state power. I mean, it would be one thing if this lack of skepticism came from people born into servitude or dependency, then you could forgive them for not knowing any better. But Americans are supposed to know better. Our own ancestors studied this issue intensely and based their revolution on it. Although, for many so-called Americans, the term "our ancestors" may just be a term of art, since an increasingly large percentage of the population, including its "white" population, has no real ancestral connection to the founding of this country. And perhaps that is the problem? Many so-called Americans lack a strong tradition of freedom and independence. They come from more subdued stock.

A large reason for this is education in the US. It has become infected with various theories hatched at the Frankfurt School such as critical theory and critical race theory. And others. These theories are derived from Marxism.

They identify problems and they have solutions- government action and the demand for government action.

With the State fully in command.

Fascism is the merger of state and corporate power.

Corporate under fascism meaning the various bodies or groups of people forming agriculture, industry, military, etc. The idea was to give people political power through representation by these bodies.

It has nothing to do with the contemporary legal notion of corporations such as Woke-a-Cola.

Corporation in this context has a meaning similar to a Medieval Estate. It should be no surprise that he has the wrong idea here too.

It's funny how you accuse me of inventing things when I point out the underlying racism of a lot of your threads and yet you keep posting these "America was better when it was whiter" threads.
