    The racism is just the lead in for class-ism.

    Yes. That is also implied in my comment, under a careful read. The progression is the same and has been there in the US forever.

    Their dream model is:

    Immigration - > Opposing Ideologies - > Racism -> Ethno state -> Enforced hierarchy on the remaining population

    Every single one of those steps are all enforcing class division. There isn’t any other war besides class war.

    But the mechanisms the fascist leverages to achieve it don’t include them screaming it out, for obvious reasons.

    Racism, is what made the centrist be okay with MLK’s assassination. His beginning to move the message from the racism cover story employed by the system, to the class-division foundations beneath, the reason he was killed.

    I’m not entirely sure how to interpret your on fire analogy, except to agree that everything is indeed on fire?

    Also pretty sure you’re referring to a broken arrow incident with the AF thing? Yeah, there’s literal and metaphorical nuclear bombs out there waiting for the fire to reach them, I can dig that.

      First, sorry I must have come across wrong, I meant to just add to what you said not challenge you for not providing enough detail on race v class and such. I need word things in more clear ways, what seems clear to the author is often not to the reader.

      The fire analogy, I have been calling it a dumpster fire, but it will burn for longer, so I was like, wait, what about a tire fire? Doesn’t quite fit though they can burn indefinitely I think. But then, I was like, oh fuck, landfill fire. They have them going for decades, some places are siphoning methane for house use from them.

      And finally, what about broken arrow? Never heard of it. I only heard of this from a person, never read it, about the nuclear dump. It’s a person I did trust but have since learned is not reliable, but on this I trust him still.

        No harm done, and I certainly understand a thing or two about failing to communicate myself in a way that is parse-able by others and retains my intent. I understand that all too well.

        As for broken arrows: “A Broken Arrow is defined as an unexpected event involving nuclear weapons that result in the accidental launching, firing, detonating, theft, or loss of the weapon.”

        The nuclear powers all have way too many embarrassingly stupid ones on record, given that you’d expect nuclear weapons to be the literal most important thing with the literal most stringent procedures for handling.

        There was one in NM in the 50s with some limited contamination exposed in the local area, and I thought that’s what you were referring to.

        Wikipedia has a neat list of both broken arrows (military accidents) and civilian ones, involving nuclear technology.

          Oh yeah, the air force actually dropped two armed hydrogen bombs on North Carolina at one point. They didn’t go off but still.

          It is understandable though, who hasn’t wanted to nuke north carolina at some point?
