Some of the reasons I think we're headed towards facism:
- Heightened nationalism, economic corporatism, and xenophobia.
- The "act first, think later" anti-intellectual philosophy of our
government.
- Increased executive authority and ineffective congressional
oversight.
- "Secret" programs that give the government access to private
citizen's financial and personal data.
- A citizenry that trusts its government at face value and increasingly distrusts and despises the media.
- A general feeling that America is infallable, that our ends justify
our means simply because we are so great.
- A general feeling that American, the nation, is superior to its
citizens.
- A citizenry that prefers not to think about what is right or wrong
for the country, but rather what is right or wrong for their party, who
are thinking the same thing themselves.
- A general lack of open-mindedness in regards to foreign cultures andany line of thinking that does not flesh with the global market
economy.
