it’s almost as if US Police and policing organizations are the agents and enforcers of an unjust system.

It’s an old American tradition for law-and-order conservatives to twist themselves into knots this way.
“Sure, the fascists murdered millions of people, but you didn’t give them the benefit of the doubt like we did back when they were just talking about murdering millions of people. It’s not like some of them weren’t very fine individuals.”

I wish I was surprised. I feel like the only realistic response to this is: “Oh yeah, of course that’s how they would frame it.” Given all the white supremacists, racists and other reactionaries in law enforcement, of course they were going to bend reality to the point of turning it upside down.

Um, so Hitler and Musso were just anti-anti fascists, fighting back against the depredations of those out of control thugs FDR & Churchill? (Which was, in fact, exactly what Hitler claimed…)

Is there an anti-anti-anti-fascist movement I can join somewhere? Or really any movement that just has an odd number of “anti”s in front of “fascism”?

It’s very difficult – for anyone – to recognise that the team you’re loyal to might be the bad guys. But it’s especially hard for authoritarians because, by definition, they never ask.
Even on the left, people put loyalty before personal judgment, because that’s how human beings roll. But at least with progressive groups, it’s usually judgment that leads folx to join in the first place. Fundamentalist religion, racism, authority-worship and extreme wealth tend to be cults you grow up into.

With all due respect to Rage Against the Machine, it isn’t “some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses”, it is “most of those who work forces”.
