Fascism R Us
War for resource. State run Media. Belligerent nationalism. Unitary executive (dictator). The raiding of the commons. Fake elections. Gigantic military and police pressence. Contrived enemies of the state. Promissed protection. Etc.

We've seen this before, right? History is clear about this. Are we going to wait a little bit longer, just so were positive we weren't being reactionary? Have the propagandist acheived the results they wanted for their bosses, that we doubt our own eyes? Are we spread so thin with outrage that our psyches are exhausted? And anyway, where would we begin to challenge this powerful and corrupt psudo-authority?

I haven't any idea on how we could reverse this. Why would the powerful give up power?

I know something. The only real potential for dismantling this corrupt system is the same person who you see brushing your teeth every morning. This government and the people who control this government are our enemies. It certainly is not the Iraqis.
