The regime persecutes and tortures political opponents, denies free speech and press, profits corruptly from the Cuban people’s misery, and incites chaos by spreading communist ideology across the region.

The US literally has a torture facility on the island.

Gotta love AI realism. Who wouldn’t want to have their hands merge with their gloves, have their right pupil to fall out of their head somehow, have really weird flexor muscles, and grow into a giant in the distance.

Who cares if Elon worked in the US without a visa? Thousands of immigrants do the same. The US government doesn’t want to do its due diligence with the immigration process. They have purposely make the immigration process circuitous in order to create a second-class, undocumented, cheap pool of labor. But as thanks to austerity and gutting of the nation’s social safety net, their need for a scapegoat grows. Immigrants fill that role for now. Giving immigrants due process of law goes against their objective of pitting them against the documented working class. But ICE isn’t going black bag and deport Elon. He is a part of the owning class, and while they might charge him with visa fraud, Elon will be afforded an opportunity to defend himself, either in court or with his immense capital.

Eat the rich, but like for real.

I mean…you kinda said it there. European fascism can trace its lineage to European Christian kings, empires, and popes. But that’s fascism born of Europe. As others have said fascism has been and is practiced elsewhere and with different religious and cultural influences.

Christo is merely an aesthetic modifier. It tells you what surface level flavor of fascism to expect. Remember that Nazis used language and themes of socialism in their aesthetic as well. It’s why we still refer to them as Nazis and not solely fascists.

Though I understand your point. Why not call a christo-fascist and a Nazi the same thing. You certainly can; no one’s going to stop you. At its core fascism is always the same malignant stage of capitalistic rot. It’s practitioners will use whatever aesthetics they wants. Whatever works. Some may find it useful to describe the aesthetic quality of one fascism to expose its core similarities to other instances of fascism.

You must be surprised every time you watch a mafia movie.

“Wait just a gosh darn minute! They said they were gonna take care of that guy!”

Remember when William Shatner was nearly moved to tears by the beauty of the world after his experience on Bezos’s rocket? And then Bezos talked about moving production into space.
