Howdy, rereading old comments and came across this one of mine. I figured you would like to read it too.

My app, and clearly a lot of mobile apps, show the @, which is like the legal name, so [email protected], it does not show the account display name, which is Katy, until I click on the profile. This is most likely due to screen size and for readability. Same with the profile picture, do not see it until I click on the profile.

They tried that and the curse made ask the disasters hit Bludhaven instead. You can’t destroy Gotham.

You need a college degree only to be qualified, but you are only put into groups 2 or 4. Veterans and people who do to college for atc or aviation safety go to groups 1 or 3. That’s just to then do the minimum 6months of atc training. They also just started direct hiring from colleges with approved programs.

Nationalism and militarism are not inherently fascist. A society can be nationalist and militarist and not be fascist.

Neither of which are inherently fascist.

“A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.”

  • The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

I do not believe we know enough about the government or economy to call Starship Troopers fascism.

  1. Centralization of authority under a dictator. In the books, we know very little about the Sky Marshal, in truth it isn’t revealed if they lead the civilian government at all, or if they’re just the equivalent of the highest ranking general. In the movies we do know the lead the civilian government and take a commander in chief role, but not enough about their powers to call them a dictator. Also, the incredibly high turnover rate I believe demonstrates it is not a dictatorship.

  2. Capitalist economy under strict government controls. Again i think we do not know enough about the civilian economy to say. Though noncitizens participating and being wealthy might imply less control.

  3. Violent suppression of the opposition. In the case of the Arachnids this is true, but internal opposition is never addressed. It appears that citizens and non citizens have some ability to oppose the ruling party. Voting rights are talked about in a way where people are optimistic they can make an impact for the better, implying some form of opposition. Also, we have no clue what the Arachnids were doing before the book or film. Contested space, where both parties are expanding, means conflict will arise. The Arachnids are also a credible threat, not a scapegoat.

  4. Policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. True for the most part against Arachnids. I think the fascism argument cracks when you think further and realize the Arachnids cannot communicate at all to humans, we have 0 indicators at their intentions. The fact humanity is united and there seems to be no racism amongst humans towards each other is also not a hallmark of fascism.

The work is difficult, and the expectations and stress are high. They 100% need to pay better, but the pool of qualified candidates is already fairly small.

The only real box i can think of is restrictive voting, but even then the path to voting rights is open to everyone. The only other definitive fascist thing is the speedy trial and execution in the movie, but that can be vague authoritarianism to future policing and evidence. We don’t get to know enough about the economics of ST to really say.

It would be in America as well, except ATC is classified as a secure role like the military or police so they get away with stuff like this.

There has been a shortage for a decade, and the post is literally Musk trying to hire early retirees to fill staffing shortages.
