  • It’s not so much values as it is a lack of power in the working class. These things can be done because the greater population has no power or influence. Since their is no organization to resist it the mass of the population falls into two areas of “cope”. The crowd that knows it’s fucked up and has no one to organize against it. And the crowd that knows it’s fucked up but “no one is doing anything” so they find a place to normalize or deny it. It’s not “really” a Nazi salute.

    You may call this “values”. But I’d say it’s more about how well the ruling class has controlled and passified the population.

    Also, when half the country is worried about putting food on the table or paying rent. They really don’t have time to give a fuck. Material conditions really shape what we might perceive as a “lack of values”.

    It’s a bit more than that. They are essentially doing to America what America has done to other countries. Forcing complete privitization of all aspects of life. They’re basically doing what was done to the former USSR in 90s but now internally. “Shock Doctrine”.

    Fascism is Imperialism turned inward on the imperial core itself. The suffering of the working class will be blamed on “the left” resisting and “harboring criminals”. They’ll use that as an excuse for further militarization of the police and ICE. By the time white middle class people realize what’s happening the US will have started a “defensive” war and rely on nationalism to keep the population subservient during ever worsening material conditions.
