Charging money for your work is not "gatekeeping." It's how you keep eating.

Best we keep reminding them of it.

Italy was a constitutional monarchy under fascist rule.

And the US is, theoretically, a democracy, and if we aren't under fascist rule, we will be soon enough. Fascism can spring from any form of government.

your second paragraph is something only ignorant bootlickers say
