Another day, another fascist administration in office. It’s only April, and it feels like we’re halfway through the year already.

The outlandish claims and power plays have begun in force, and people are already losing track of what’s going on. Pay attention though, that’s a tactic from the “How to Be a Fascist For Dummies” playbook.

No seriously. One tactic is “overwhelming and quick change so the masses are too confused to keep track.” I implore you to keep calm and stay alert of what’s happening around you. It’s integral that we all stay informed. Information is power, and Trump’s regime is already starting to crack down on it.

I would say that I don’t want to be that guy, but then I would be lying. Instead, here’s the brutal truth: We’re repeating the worst kind of history – the Nazi party kind. The US is gradually becoming a spiritual successor to Nazi Germany, and they’re not even hiding it.

If it wasn’t obvious before, what with the rise of far-right groups like the Proud Boys and the influx in racially charged shootings, then Elon’s nazi salute should’ve removed any doubts. The increasing influence of websites like 4Chan and anti-woke grifters on YouTube didn’t come out of nowhere, after all.

Of course, there’s always going to be people who deny the obvious for the sake of spreading propaganda and mitigating the political fallout. After all, some people seriously believe that Elon did the Roman salute. These people are lying, but they’re acting like they seriously believe it so the uninformed will join their team.

This is a trademark tactic of fascist groups as well. Lure the masses with relatable issues and hide their more extreme views until they’ve broken down any mental resistances someone might have. After all, no one is immediately a fascist. You have to kill their empathy first. 

Honestly, this should’ve been seen from a mile away. The ongoing genocide in Palestine by Israel was actively funded by the US government. The temporary ceasefire finally arrived a year and a few months later, it only lasted three months, from January 19 – March 18, 2025, and was made extraordinarily strenuous thanks to war criminal Netanyanhu’s vitriol for innocents.

This is no secret either, as the Biden administration actively defended Israel despite its horrific actions against innocent civilians. Not only has Trump promised to continue helping Israel, he expressed a desire to take Gaza as US property.

Let me remind you that Trump won the popular vote because his party created a boogie man using fear mongering. Much like a certain Austrian dictator 92 years ago, he may have failed the first time, but he came back in force. Trump may not seem as terrifyingly competent, but that means nothing if people are still eating out of the palm of his hand.

I’m going to level with you, dear readers. The Nazis never left. They went into hiding in South American countries like Argentina, and were scooped by the CIA under Operation Paperclip. They were here in the US way before that, before the US even joined WWII. It’s vital we know these things.  

If you take a look at the US as a whole, from an introspective perspective, there’s only one question to ask. Are we the bad guys? Yes. Yes we are. From being chummy with genocidal regimes and instilling coups in neighboring countries, to endorsing massacres and instilling proxy wars around the world, there’s a legacy of blood that the US continues to honor.

The Trump regime isn’t doing anything new. It’s putting new flavor on old techniques passed down from its predecessors, and the uneducated are eating it up. The US shook hands with Nazis once. It shakes hands with Zionists now. Two sides of the same coin, and the US is friends with both.

Don’t be fooled either, Zionists are not representatives of the Jewish people, and this genocide was never about religion. Much like any other conflict, it’s about geography. The US employed Nazis immediately after WWII, they do not care about Jewish people, and neither does Israel.

If they did, the US would’ve stepped into WWII way earlier, and Israel wouldn’t treat other Jewish people with disdain, simply because they were born in the region, instead of being moved there without consideration for the people already living there.

It’s time to stop believing in the system. There will be no real change unless we actually hold our “leaders” accountable for their crimes. This may be an unpopular claim, but it’s time to forget elections. They haven’t saved us before, and they won’t now. Playing by the rules of fascists only lets them win.

Elections are for times of great prosperity. Right now, we’re anything but prosperous. Protest, march, strike, join organizations, make connections, get educated, do anything but sit there and complain. It won’t help us now. Fascism is rising, and we need to stop it. After all, no one can win alone.
