President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the Treasury Department to shut down bank accounts used to support illegal immigration. Trump announced the order in a June 2 Truth Social post, saying it targets the banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions that ...
So should we be pulling cash out right now or is that me just panicking?
Worse. If, for example, I, born and raised in the US and white as fuck, use a bank account to pay for Mexican food, and that business gets targeted by ICE because their racist pieces of shit, they could decide to close my bank account. They could say I was supporting illegal immigration.
Yes. But you don’t even have to buy the Mexican food. There are infinitely many scenarios they can come up with for liberals to keep justifying the line moving.
These types of “reasons” are not the fascist “finding loopholes”. It’s just a means of keeping the illusion of the systems still operating. If the system is still operating then “we can take it back”. It’s for liberals to believe that if they were tarkets that they could “justice” their way out. That maybe they’ll even be protected by their white privilege.
Fascist don’t let you take it back using the system. When the midterms don’t go well. We’ll have liberals continue to fight to “fix the system”. We’ll get “justice for the voters” and lawsuits that go nowhere. We’ll get a couple well intentioned politicians that speak out against the fascist. Allowed to speak only so long as they are needed to maintain the illusion of a fight. Spending the next two years moving the line with each step so we can pretend the system is still saveable.
Buy your Mexican food. If you’re a target it won’t matter what reason they use to justify taking you. Better than getting your lunch at a corporation that supports this.
Read a history book mate. I’m using history to understand the present. Hell, Wikipedia can help you. This isn’t about shitting on individual people in this country that call themselves “liberals”. This is about understanding how liberal democracy enables the rise of fascism and why it is insufficient in stopping it.
Well, you can be explicit in what you found interesting then. Because what you implied was that I was focusing blame on “liberals” over the blame set on fascist themselves. There isn’t really any other way to interpret your comment.
Fascist seek to overthrow liberal democracy. They, historically, have not done this by an outside revolutionary movement that overthrows the systems by force (think the French revolution). They instead exploit the contradictions of liberal democracy and build Fascism within its existing structures.
All mention of “liberals” in my initial comment are in reference to the non fascist politicians that are attempting to prevent fascism but are entirely unable to do so. Not because they are fascist. But because fascism is a destruction of liberal democracy from within. It’s exploits the process of liberal democracy to take power.
There is nothing interesting you are pointing at from my comment. You are just fundamentally not understanding what was being said.
I just dont trust this administration to honestly go within those parameters. Suddenly anyone he doesnt like is an illegal immigrant.

I’m aware of what liberalism is, and I’m not even defending it.
What I am doing is pointing out something that I found interesting about your comment.
