    The other option is rapidly degrading to be murdered instead.

    Fighting back against fascism and tyrannical applications of force is not being fascist.

      Listen, we have already covered this. Fascism was never defeated by violence in WWII. In fact, it thrives stronger than it ever was.

      Fascism thrives on violence so you have to be a special kind of useful idiot to advocate that more violence is going to fix things.

      People have things so mixed up in their head they think using the authoritarian playbook is going to work for them. That their ideology will magically rise up from the ashes.

      It is a fucking fantasy. The sooner you stop living in self defense fantasyland and start working with your fellow Americans the closer we will be to solving our problems.

      This is class warfare and the wealthy would love for us to tear each other apart.

        Yeah, everyone knows WWII was ended with pansies and pleasantries, and totally not with the single largest display of violence the world has ever seen before or since.

          WWII ended up with the largest fascist nation in history claiming victory if that is what you mean. Considering the Red Army did most of the work and the US got most of the spoils it has always been a war of questionable results.
