    Ah yes, Europe never had to deal with such far right-wingers. We’d like borrow the term you guys came up with to describe them in case we ever face such violent fascists. What was it again?

    Oh right, Nazis.

      Those were mostly dead before you were born and you have likely never personally suffered at the hands of right wing violence.

      My niece had her hand broken by a rancid nazi flag waving trumpfucker for having the gall to stand up for trans rights, but I’m sure the old-timey pro-nationalist graffiti you’ve have occasionally been forced to observe was just as harmful.

      There are literal hard right militias training with military grade equipment on our own soil RIGHT NOW, and it is likely that most of the police force will join them.

      No one you know or love is at threat more than my own family right now and I will NOT sit by quiet while greasestains like you try and marginalize this.

        Not that I don’t agree with you, but do you really think the elderly edgelord forum warrior shtick is the best play? Taking a point from your own posts, is it really a good idea to post content online that might alienate potential allies? Food for thought.

          If people are going to choose fascism because they were annoyed by an angry person on the internet, then this world deserves to fucking burn away to ash.

            Not choose right but who the fuck would want to unite on the same side with you is a bit questionable. This “you don’t know shit” attitude is why there is the right and then a hundred other lefts. Alright man you have seen the worst of everything, our understanding of fascism is but a speck of dust next to yours and American fascists would beat Hitler with their two hands tied. There happy?

                and you need to re-read mine and stop re-iterating the same argument to everyone as a validification for your behaviour. No one sane person will choose fascism but still the fascists will pick off smaller groups of opposers one by one who could not unite because they thought they knew how to be anti fascists better than others (hint that is you). Anti oppression/fascist groups not being able unite because of ideological differences and holier-than-thou attitudes is a pretty common occurrence in history.

                  Thanks for saying this.

                  In the late 70s, the Shah of Iran was a posterchild for authoritarianist shitheads. Everyone wanted him gone, from the religious Right to the academic Left and everything in between. A crowd of liberals, professors, businessmen, reactionaries, and mullahs all united to send the Shah packing. When it was all said and done, Iran had an opportunity to form a Muslim Democracy and join the world as a rising star.

                  Then the Left started arguing with itself. There were the Communists who wanted Glorious Revolution, and the Academics who just wanted a sane system of government, and the moderates who wanted only a LITTLE bit more socialist support for the underserved, and each of those factions split into sub-factions over some little petty policy difference or another. And while they were fighting, the Religious Right came together, unified in the belief that Gawd Himself was on their side, and promptly took over government.

                  Iran went from a secular dictatorship to a religious dictatorship while the Left argued.

                  France has shown us that that doesn’t have to happen, by unifying in voting against the Right and settling on one candidate for each district and not letting little distractions get in the way. Unfortunately, despite this win, it shows us that the more things change, the more they stay the same and the various factions of the Left that are unwilling to compromise a single tiny bit and are willing to burn down the house if they don’t get exactly what they want, which might just cause the fall of the coalition that defeated the Hard Right in France and another risk of the rise of a Fascist government. Let’s be like France before the election, and not like France after, if we possibly can?!

                And I suppose you’re the only one of those around, right? So why tear into people about the state of the US if, by your own admission, it’s probably a lost cause? There have to be better ways for you to kill time until the end.

                  I’m hoping to build a good visibly angry and progressive online profile so when the fascists take over and use AI to scrape social media histories, that my ident’s affinity is high enough for them to send the death squads to me early. I’m so fucking tired of every ounce, inch, and erg of the last decade.
