Alexander Means @alienmeans.bsky.social · 22/01/2026America has not always been a fascist state because racialized violence and colonialism are not unique to fascism. Liberal democratic states are also guilty of these crimes. This distinction matters for understanding and confronting far right radicalization and shredding of “formal” civil rights. 030
