The history of the United States seem eerily similar to traits of fascism.

  • White supremacy born with the US.
  • There are concentration camps for immigrants in the US; Nazi Germany also had concentration camps for different races.
  • The US seems ultranationalist (patriotism is worshipped here); fascism is defined by right-wing "authoritarian" ultranationalism.
  • The US is a psuedodemocracy under control of the oligarchy. Fascism is defined by dictatorships.
  • US Government spends a large portion of money on the military, to the point that the US military has to restrict the money they receive.
  • Political opposition is brutally suppressed by US police forces.
  • Minority groups, like dark-skinned, disabled, and queer people, bear discrimination and ableism.
  • EDIT: The US did not attack Nazi Germany, at all. (The Soviet Union had defeated Nazi Germany.) Yet the US tried to plagarise the Soviet's victory.

The environment seems ripe for fascism; the US may even be fascist now. (I'm just predicting though.)


So anyway, I'm in multiple minority groups, and now I want to escape this shitty country before it becomes fascist. How do I do that though?
