Yes, this is the same as putting people in concentration camps

Unbelievable…

It’s in fact the definition of fascism. Concentration camps aren’t unique to fascism, and you could have a fascist system without them.

Edit: I think I replied to the wrong thread, actually. The thread I was on asked: “What’s the term for the fusion of state and corporate power?”

Ok, so the US was a fascist state when we did a polio vaccine rollout? Jeez look how far the US fell after the polio rollout (sarcasm) …

As I mentioned, I replied to the wrong thread. Requiring vaccines doesn’t make us fascist. The tight integration of big corporations and the US government arguably does. By that definition, we’ve been fascist for a long time.

But yes. I think the more intertwined business interests and government becomes, the worse things will get in the US.

Do you get a yearly polio booster?

Would you, if one was required to not get polio? What argument are you even making?

I'm arguing that you can't compare the two.

Well it's not a very convincing argument
