the United States itself is a violent white supremacist settler colony. It is inherently fascist

No, it is a liberal democracy. Liberal democracies commit genocides all the time, that does not make them fascist. Liberal democracies may have a lower class to treat as cattle, that does not make them fascist. Fascism does not have a monopoly on the worst forms of oppression that humanity has to offer.

Fascism, specifically, is the oppression of a liberal democracy turned inward. It is the dehumanization of people that the liberal democracy used to not dehumanize, and the political and cultural systems needed to get a population on board with that. But dehumanizing people that are already dehumanized takes very little effort, and in liberalism a person's rights do not exist unless they are enumerated by the state.

Thus, fascism and liberalism are different in psychology, culture, and political structure, even though both are often genocidal, white supremacist settler colonies.

We must do better than liberal democracy. Genocide doesn't end at fascism.

Messaging matters. The last part encourages United States residences to give up, or join the fascists ("I like my country, so fascists must be great!"). One can just be like "here are ten roots of fascism, try to work with your friends and neighbors to stop doing those".

If you give up because someone says your country is built on white supremacism you were never serious about fighting it in the first place.

This is the same as the people who have a minority not coddle them and turn around to say they’re no longer going to support their right to existence.

It's never too late to do the right thing
