    Remember when Germany removed every intellectual in the entire country and then had to deal with having zero intellectuals for a generation after they lost two wars?

      Remember when German was the language of science and technology, and then suddenly it wasn’t?

      There is no better of faster way to irrelevance than fascism.

        The defeat of German Nazism was not a foregone conclusion. It was the Soviets behind 70% of Nazi casualties that defeated German Nazism - at tremendous cost I might add.

        Fascism isn’t some fad that inevitably falls out of fashion because people magically start seeing the contradictions, but a cancer that has to be militantly suppressed with utmost prejudice.

          This time, there’s no one to save us. Fascism in the United States will rule us until the end of the century.
