Fascism is not one big step. It is a step at a time.

Kill foreign people using drones.

Even assassinate people of your own country.

Huge graph databases storing everything about your life forever.

Military equipment for police.

Life sentences for minor crimes.

Torture.

High security prisons outside the usual law system.

Getting no government job because you read Wikileaks.

Access to only censored information for government workers.

Journalists are manipulated to report about war in positive ways.

Piece by piece. Each step brings you nearer a form of fascism.

Mass surveillance is just another tool.
