Are you a tool?!

So, up until yesterday, the term and idealism of fascism really escaped me. I never really cared or thought much about it. Then I went to class yesterday. Little did I know that this particular day in class would be the biggest eye opener I've had in several years.
[For those of you who may not know Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and other societal interests subordinate (secondary) to the needs of the state. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on ethnic, cultural, or racial attributes. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, authoritarianism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, and opposition to economic and political liberalism.]
Wow... that definition is off the hook, but now that it’s out of the way, let’s just move on. I remember reading stories of Nazi Germany when (and maybe it's still like this, I don't know) police literally patrolled the streets and enforced a curfew, even for adults. When the government is run by big business and the people of a once sovereign nation are now captives of the same, I will no longer tolerate the societal enfeeblement. It is disheartening to think that our great nation could possibly fall to fascism. It's a very disturbing thought. If you would like a little more background please watch America: Freedom to Fascism. It's free on Google.com. I would strongly advise you to research for yourself and do not blindly accept everything you hear.
Life is about critical thinking. Think critically about everything and pose questions of things that are normally taken for granted. Blindly accept nothing. Don't be a tool!
