The new president marks the end of the old civic nationalist America and the beginning of the new managerial state. Competitive elections and open debate have been swept away in favor of ceremonial elections and speech codes. The managerial class has formally seized control of the country.

You don't know what civic nationalism is, nor why its death means pretty much our Republic is finished. What a surprise. I'm sure you'll do fine in a guard tower at one of the fun and job training camps surrounded by barbed wire.

And is the world controlled by globalists?

I think these are good questions, /u/bookmobile, but as we see here, /u/Chipit can't or doesn't want to answer tham. This is unfortunate especially because Saidit would be a useful place in which to discuss US notions of nationalism, and nationalism in other countries, in the context of the global history of nationalist movements. There are some users here who are partially addressing the issue. And, as you indicate, there are fascist aspects to some of these approaches to nationalist movements.

You're not here to have an honest argument. You're here to call people fascists. Just like the Reddit Hate Brigade - oh my, that's where you were assigned to Ruqqus from.

Rather than focus on insults, make a point. I am not sure what your point is in this case. As noted above and in a previous reply to you, bring to the discussion something informative (rather than your usual: but you're a bad person!!)
