Today Kavernacle released a video titled "why everything is fascist NOW" and although I like the guy this video rubbed me the wrong way. Down in the comments someone was talking about their friend who came to the US at 2 yo and have been living here with DACA program. Apparently he got married and has a daughter, he also has a small business in the states. He can lose all of this if Trump revokes DACA etc. and deports him back to Mexico so this commenter is very angry with US citizens for putting Trump in power.
I personally didn't feel ONE BIT sorry for his friend tho. I don't know if I am wrong here but that's the way I feel regardless. PEOPLE ARE ALREADY LIVING IN MEXICO. More than 6 BILLION people are living in the global south. And they have been subject to imperialism, highest stage of capitalism, aka fascism abroad but much worse. He is not being deported back to Gaza, which his preferred candidate killed more than 200k people in a year. Literally. I have tons of friends and family facing similar threat and I am not sorry for them either. They went to europe, the US and earned very good money there because imperial core is choke full of blood money extracted from the global south. Even if my friend who have two toddlers at home in London was deported, selling his house alone will allow him to not work for 10 years back in our country. My brother is in Germany, he will be back with good money that will set him up 5-6 years forward compared to his peers if he comes back.
Am I wrong to think like this? This guy is fine with fascism abroad but now that it's coming for them they are scared? And I what's up with Kavernacle's video title "everything is fascist NOW"? 6 billion people have been subject to fascism in this world, much worse fascism than what he is talking about. What the hell does he mean by "NOW"?
