    What is your definition of Fascist, here?

    It seems to get tossed around at everything, these days. Not a fan if the NSA either, nor the Patriot Act, either.

      fascism is capitalism showing its teeth, like what trump is doing more overtly now. one part of it involves enforcing a bolder and more baldfaced surveillance/police state.

      the NSA is literally one of the intelligence arms of said surveillance state. they help manipulate people, find and disappear dissidents, suppress resistance and such. not unlike a few other 3 letter agencies.

      they’ve been quacking like fascists way before trump, they have feathers like fascists and swim like fascists. hence why i call it fascist.
