Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I don't think we will ever see new flags, new names for armes forces, new constitutions etc ... The laws and measures to repress workers and minorities are casually creeping in with no serious resistance.

This precise lack of resistance is, in my opinion, mostly allowed by the deep convictions that western institutions have the democratic potential to reform if upheld correctly by the right people. So basically, a regime change is less appealing to the bourgeoisie, because the old institutions have the power of pacifying the potential revolutionaries.

(Armchair philosophy LARPing in 3.. 2... 1..) I'd say that the West is currently is in a stage of boring fascism. We don't even have the aesthetics of evil, normality is just more and more brutal but nothing changes because brutality is more and more normalised
