The problem is not capitalism. It is corporatism and globalism. Nationalism is not fascism similar to how communitarianism is not fascism. The liberal college town I live in demands to be individually quirky… to maintain its own culture of community… to resist development that would allow in more people and potentially change its local character. Are these people fascists? Totalitarianism is the real threat. Global totalitarianism to be more concise.

The meme that Trump represents white supremacist fascism is an intellectually bankrupt propaganda spew perpetuated by the Great Reset globalist corporatist cabal to deflect from their hand in every problem we are dealing with today. Trump is against that cabal. Biden Democrats are part of the cabal. That is the disconnect.

Bandying about terms like "cabal" and "Great Reset" are quite revealing.

Especially after what could only be a bad faith comment based on a misreading of Hedges.

Exactly. Pay him no mind--this is his stock in trade. He always comically mis-reads what is written by Hedges, and thinks everyone else is wrong. What an irony! This is exactly the type addressed by Hedges.

The problem is Empire, capitalism, and our military/intelligence/corporate leaders. If you are not capable of criticizing the most corrupt parts of our culture, then your conclusions will be stained with inaccuracy and fantasy.
