How American Institutions Failed to Meet the Moment

Lol! What failure?

Seems to me that they succeeded in their anti-democratic function, and succeeded spectacularly.

Latin America was essentially a retirement resort for fascist war criminals after WW2.

It turns out that the dictators who was friendly to US corporate interests was also raging Nazi sympathizers. It must be a complete coincidence though and totally not related at all.

Christians have been accepting oppressors taking a piss on the teachings of JC since Constantine The (supposedly) "Great" did it all the way back in ancient times.

That's the whole point of right-wing "anti-immigrant" hysteria - it has always been about the repression of the cheapest source of labour (even cheaper than carceral slavery). Hell, the dynamics of this is even perfectly articulated in the second book of the Old Testament.

But the goons doing the dirty work doesn't need to know that.
