    Do you think mid 1930s germans had fuck all to do with the Third Reich?

    Imagine reading your comment from the perspective of a Venezuelan. It’s all just handwaving, casting blame, and evasion. It’s pure American exceptionalism, and it’s pure liberalism. “Poor widdle baby Americans deserve none of this blame :(”.

    I encourage you to read about how fascism is actually mitigated. It’s not boycotts; it’s bullets, world wars, and sacrifice.

      I’ve read a lot about fascism and I agree with you about your last point.

      However the rest of your read on the situation tells me how little you actually understand any of what’s happened/happening inside the U.S.

      Edit: And there were people fighting the Nazis. You know what the Nazis did? They killed them all and seized power through “legitimate” elections. Jesus. At least we still have robust opposition for the moment that is the overwhelming majority but because voting in our country is so fucked up it doesn’t matter. Also you’re a dick.

        Better get busy forming the resistance then. To die at the hands of fascists instead of joining them is the greatest honor history could present you with. Instead you’re getting fat and writing angry comments on the internet.

          Jesus. Yes. I am Che’ leader of the new American revolution hear me ye impoverished and oppressed and flock to my ranks so that we can take back our country.

          You really know nothing about the U.S. and what has happened since 9/11.
