I mean... given the US's track record for resisting fascism, this isn't an unreasonable expectation
What country has managed to resist fascism without military intervention from an outside source?
You are expecting Americans to do something that has never been done. The US Civil War doesn't count, because while those people would have eventually turned to fascism, in the moment they were all about slavery and states rights, not corporate rights.
And given your username, you have far more abilities to destroy the US government than the rest of us.
I’m expecting Americans to do the ONE thing they’ve been LOUDLY insisting for a full goddamn century makes them so exceptional.
I’m utterly shocked to discover it was just a bunch of dipshits taking credit for something their ancestors might have done.
This is such an insane and imaginative comment. Are the century old Americans that talk to you in the room with you right now? It's absolutely crazy how you've taken some individual comments or perceived attitudes and created this fantasy land where you now have "owned the dipshits". Let's ignore the assassination attempts, current and planned protests going on through-out the country, people getting arrested for standing up for their fellow citizens, LUIGI!!, the college protests going on for months/years, this is such a selective memory you're touting. This isn't like the UK/Scotland police that just sit there peacefully (5 people were there initially and stopped their immigration enforcement per the article). Yet still we have hundreds and thousands of people still showing up and continuing to fight while you whine and complain online.
Holy shit, your entire engagement in this site is just comments about American "cowards". Why haven't you tried to immigrate and show Americans how it's really done since you're such a mister big boy bad ass? You seem to care enough to removed about it everyday but not do anything about it?
Please, write more. Dying to hear what you have to say.
Didn't fascism simmer down in South Korea, Taiwan, South Africa, Spain, and Portugal?
Only after the deaths of the figureheads who brought it about in the first place.
