just so we’re clear, saying “wow this feels like we’re in north korea/afghanistan/syria/venezuela/pakistan/[insert another country in the global south]” is racist and orientalist. this is happening here, in the united states, and if you had your head out of your ass you’d know that 250 years of white supremacy and genocide and capitalism and colonial violence and imperialism have led up to this moment. the united states did not only ALLOW this to happen here, the united states created this and has been enacting fascism since it was created.
