American is a fascist nation

It's nice that you have such a rosy eyed view of American government, but things aren't really like that anymore. Take freedom of speech for example, and freedom of thought. Sure, people have freedom of speech, but any views they might have are HEAVILY influenced by the government. Look at the media! Your average news network is owned by some corporate giant. And in America, the government and corporations are VERY intertwined. The government can control and manipulate the public, but through the media. They can pit different groups of people against each other, which makes it that more easy to step in and take control. This is a lot more insidious than traditional fascism. I consider it neo-fascism. This is an indirect form of mind control! And the saddest part, most Americans are convinced that they are "free." This in particular is reminiscent of fascism (a brainwashed public). Now, I mentioned Dr. Lawrence Britt. Well, he is a political scientist who spent a significant amount of time examining and studying fascist regimes. This includes Nazi Germany, Italy, Spain, and several others. He found that ALL of these regimes had some uniting characteristics. And from these alone, I can see the fascism poisoning America's government, and it's people. Forget the definition of fascism, it's all about the implementation (yes, I realize that I mentioned the definition. But political ideologies usually don't adhere to a strict definition, they usually have several uniting characteristics). It's all about these things: how is it (fascism) implemented? Is it successful? Well, so far, fascism, or neo-fascism, have been quite successful in America. And I discovered this by analyzing these basic fascistic criteria, compiled by Dr. Britt during his travels. I also found a few while visiting Encylopedia Brittanica, but I'll get into those later 1. NATIONALISM. America is extremely nationalistic. We are among the most patriotic people on Earth, and we are confident that our government, and our way of life, is superior to most others. Why else would we strive to spread "democracy" worldwide? We also are proud of our freedom, which we just LOVE to brag about. And the American flag is practically worshipped. We see it everywhere: hanging in the streets, on houses, on cars. In school, students have to say the Pledge of Allegiance (which I view as brainwashing) in which we declare our loyalty to the FLAG. A similar practice would have been done in nations like Nazi Germany. 2. HUMAN RIGHTS. The public is convinced that certain human rights violations are "necessities." These violations usually occur when the nation is under attack, or threatened. Take 9/11, for example. Afterwards, the government took this as its chance to tighten its grip on the public. Think of the TSA, Internet spying, phone tapping, and other privacy violations. And the whole time, we were assured that it was "for the best." This is what the media told us...and who do they report to? The government. James Madison even said "when tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy" 3. SCAPEGOATS. Like I mentioned a few sentences ago, our government uses scapegoats to unite the people. After 9/11, we were turned against Muslims. During the Cold War, we were turned against Soviets. During WWII, it was the Japanese. Whenever the government wants to stir up more hate, they merely call up their friends down at Fox News and CNN. We'll do ANYTHING they say. Fear is a useful tool in a fascist nation. I have plenty more criteria to get into, but I'd like to get your response to what I've said so far.
