it may very well be that we are just not capable, as a species, of doing anything productive about this sort of thing.
are there any cases, in human history, where a society has successfully curtailed the rise of a fascist autocracy?
@saltywizard the UK had fascists before WWII, but they didn't take over. The UK still has fascists, but they've kept them out of power so far. That's kind of winning, right?
haven't they, tho? have you, tho? is it, really?
ahem *cough, cough* brexit
pointless bioessentialist-coded moping is my love language.
Dear German citizens, what ever your grand parents did not do, you can do to stop your disgusting government supporting the genocide in Gaza and the war crime of US/Istael in Iran and Lebanon.
You Germans should take care of your disgusting Nazi Zionist chancellor before criticizing Americans.
The pig told the world that Israel is "doing our dirty work" and that International law does not apply to Iranians.

@Strandjunker an example of Germans who did some good things in Nazi Germany:

Also, the TV show Babylon Berlin offered a different perspective of life in Germany during the rise of the third Reich than I was used to. I recommend watching it.

@Strandjunker
This day in 1933 the German Reichtag had already passed the Enabling Act which gave Hitler personally the right to pass any law unhindered even by the constitution. It was already game over for any possible german opposition.
I don't think the US is quite there yet, is it?
@Strandjunker I know the US has a partisanship mentality and cult leader problem, but dammit, how much further can the US Congress keep letting Pax America slide down this greasy pole?
Like 'risks dragging the world into nuclear war' is surely a bridge too far. Surely. Right?
Like in hang them high?
@Strandjunker People will eventually say they were against all of this, but right now I believe the majority are generally in favor of the general thrust of what's happening - even if they object to some particulars.
I lost all faith in my fellow Americans, so I got myself and my family out. It's better than being sent to the camps, when that comes around.
