NATO is liberal and that comes with all of the problems of liberals but in what ways has it functioned as a fascist organisation?

Working as intended then, because it was never about savings.

All they care about is their base

But it isn't the same as if the entire working class had a collective say in the capital, not just those who choose to and have the resources to pay in. It isn't the same as the workers of that company having a say in their working conditions, shift lengths, compensation, etc.

A better way to say it would instead be the inverse: "If you don't work for a paycheck, you probably hold enough capital"

They want a shutdown lol this idea that negotiating will avert it is silly since you don't negotiate for things you don't want.

Captured implies that the State didn't already function as a tool of capital

I know, I was joking

Yes, although the US pulled itself back enough with some of FDR's reforms that it kicked the can down the road a few generations, whereas the Weimar Republic actually collapsed.

I know right? This quote in the headline makes her out to sound so tepid like "please mr president could you maybe be more confrontational against the fascists who want to kill me and my allies? 👉👈"

Too busy trying to court centrist voters and uphold a dying status quo

Nah if Trump was in office in the last four months there'd be open conflict across the Middle East with thousands of US troops bound for Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, etc

Key takeaway from the article for me was this paragraph:

"The stark reality is now inescapable: legislations targeting the medical care of transgender adults have taken root, despite the claims of anti-trans activists that they are trying to “protect children” with these laws. Florida's new provisions represent the first significant restrictions on trans adult care to fully materialize."

Lawmakers across the country (United States) are trying to protect kids by age-gating parts of the internet.

From the article, my emphasis added:

"Bills targeting the LGBTQ+ community remained stagnant for the initial months of North Carolina's legislative cycle. However, the landscape shifted when Democratic Representative Tricia Cotham, elected from a district which voted for her,** a Democrat, by +19points, switched to the Republican party**. This gave the GOP the crucial 72 votes required to override a governor's veto. Subsequently, these bills were promptly slated for hearings and aggressively advanced by the state's Republican leadership."

I love to see this sort of solidarity, but I wish it was the norm...

 

Sure, updating patients rights would help but how fucked is it that our system allows this by default in the first placd?
