There was a 80 year break after AH was gone… And fascism is surging because Putin was and still is able to use the internet to do what Goebbels did for the Nazis. He’s the actual leader of the new fascist movement, Trump just hopped on his bandwagon. The people who feel emboldened by fascist leaders are always there, but they only become a problem when they can group behind “their guy”. So if that guy is gone, they go back to being passive fascists. Of course it would be better to have none such people around, but thinking pragmatically, that’s not an option, we first need to get back to the baseline by taking down the leader.
i don't know how old you are, but I'm guessing you're young because there was no 80 year break.
there wasn't any break.
as i said, Hitler lost the war but fascism didn't. the US became more and more of a fascist country. police state, corporate power, mass incarceration, mass surveillance, invasions and endless wars...
there has been some progress too, but it has always been outpaced by fascism. and corporate power always grew. fascism isn't just when a bitch baby loser screams into a mic.
sorry i assumed you were young. you just weren't paying attention.
i guess you didn't find any arguments to come back with so you instead resorted to calling me a tankie. any evidence to that would be welcome, otherwise you should just educate yourself on what fascism is, because as i said, it's not just about some dude screaming into a microphone.
The evidence is that you see fascism everywhere, all the time. That’s the tankie creed.
i see fascism where there's fascism. just because you were asleep for 40 years doesn't mean there was none.
Sure. You’re the type of person who calls someone a fascist if they ask you nicely to turn down your blaring music at 3am.
yeah, that's what i said. the number of complaints against me blaring my music at 3am have been steadily rising since WW2.
Glad we were able to find common ground
