in the face of brown aggression on 9/11, we had to assert harder than ever that this particular chunk of the north american continent we stole is, in fact, the white man's home.

A capitalist republic is unstable and will drift towards either fascism or socialism unless people work hard to keep it from happening, OP.

America is terrified of socialism even when it's an accurate word for systems it's had and relied on for a long time now but it's not scared of fascism. Socialism is seen as a real evil to fight at every turn while fascism is this cartoonish bogeyman the public doesn't take seriously because they beat it forever in WWII. Calling something you disagree with socialism is a real way to attack it even when it's not accurate, but calling something fascism makes the collective public do an eyeroll at the gross exageration. You'd need new words to say it even if it's accurate.

This looks a lot like suffering.
I was a sophomore in high school when 9/11 happened. I remember watching on TV when Bush made the department of homeland security and appointed the first director. I remember thinking at the time that using the word homeland was some Nazi or Soviet level poo poo and how come you need a homeland security department when you have something called the Department of Defense.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you follow politics at all and vote Republican in this day and age you're pretty much a giant blubbering retard. If you vote Democrat or you don't vote you may be this as well but it's not nearly as likely.

it reminds me of orwells essay politics and the english language, which I always thought was a v good introduction as to how language can be used in nefarious ways
