Everyone knows ships never ran into reefs before women existed

Granted.

Is it $2.3 billion yearly expensive?

I’m starting think that when Biden said “I am a Zionist” the career federal politician actually DID know the context.

Liberals can have a little genocide, as a treat. They’ve lost so much weight since segregation!

Because corporate donors don’t write checks for integrity.

Uh oh, it’s USS Liberty time

You are entirely too invested in not being wrong about a historical fact of etymology. You can just say “okay fair enough.”

Russia is a fascist state and doesn’t care about that, or hypocrisy.

That’s your missing information.

The end goal of fascism, per Mussolini:

“All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”

Fascism innately rejects the concept of the separation of powers and human rights alike.

If you view the traditional three pillars of heirarchy and power in a capitalist society as the state, the corporations, and the church, the absorbtion of both corporate and church power is simply the end goal. You might also ask “couldn’t the corporate powers or churches effectively do the same thing by absorbing the others instead?”

Funnily enough, Hirohito and Japan had already effectively absorbed that pillar of power with State Shinto and the literal deification of the imperial line.

There’s a really good mod for Crusader Kings 2 where you play in a post-apocalypse America and one of the religion groups is Americanism, with the Founding Fathers as gods.

Yeah say whatever you want about Xi’s rapid descent into red fascism, his rule seems stable enough, and with how humans work it’s going to stay that way as long as the economy keeps growing. And it WILL keep growing because that’s just how industrialization works.

This dude follows people into dark alleys for candy

It’s literally just history, and one of the founders of “anarcho-capitalism” has a direct quote in one of the most read “libertarian” books of all time bragging about how they stole the term from real libertarians, but feel free to be wrong about this one thing, it won’t hurt anything but your own understanding.

The wise wait until they’re out of the country to criticize a fascist regime, and even then they watch their backs.
