Well said, thanks for this. I recently read an article by someone who lived through fascism saying essentially the same. We don't need radical changes, and our enemies are skinny larpers who will NEVER have power over us.
This sucks ass right now, but between the scamdemic and these peaceful riots, I'm truly expecting another sweep of the the house, senate, and obviously the Trump House. We don't need martial law, we don't need to sink to their level. Expose their crimes and defeat them the good old American way, and we'll be just fine.
I would love to see that article if you could provide a link to it. I am no expert in these things and reading from somebody more informed than me would be excellent.
It's a shame that history is not taught in schools anymore...or it is a perverse radical edited version. Google is rewriting the online historical accounts...so it's difficult to trust as well. Humanity learns from making mistakes...not by forgetting errors of the past.
He just joined 4 hours ago, and his first and only post is accusing pro-Americans of tending towards nazi/mussolini fascists. So his quoting friedrich is no surprise.
I hit the deport button on him. Perhaps it would be worth it if we all did the same.
Have I read him? No. Just grabbed a quote I'm familiar with. Did I accuse pro-Americans of anything? No.
I got into an argument with family prompted by the media misinformation about the violence from protestors that were dispersed in DC and realized that the current state of affairs in the U.S. looks a whole lot like the state of affairs in many European nations before WW2.
As I was writing that sentiment, it struck me that we should take the history of Europe at that time as a warning of what could happen to this country if we were to blunder forward. We have a history of mistakes already laid out. It would be wise to head the lessons of history lest we repeat them and once again lay horrors upon the world.
About a year ago, I studied weimar because many had mentioned that brak homofuckingbama's america had the same degeneracy, and just like you, I was concerned that we Americans can possibly follow Germany's path.
But I found my fears were overblown because of one key distinction between 1940s germany and 2016 America: those germans wanted a return to monarchy (which hitler gave to them in tyranical droves), whereas America just wants to maintain its constitutional republic.
In other words, there's nothing in our American dna that wants to return to monarchy because in the words of Gertrude Stein: there's no there there.
If we do 'progress' to monarchy/aristocracy, it won't be MAGA that will do it, it will be the progressive left that will do it instead.
Absolutely. Also the ones that seem to think whites are superior the them and they should be lifted up as a collective while destroying what they believe to be the white collective.

Its a crapshoot trying to search my browser history for something i read a couple days ago, but you got lucky. I'm not agreeing 100% with the points in here, but the overarching point of not punching down was my takeaway. Enjoy: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/silence-is-health-how-totalitarianism-arrives
Thank you very much! Digging up those articles after a bit can be rough.

Please do not quote Nietzsche. He was a horrific philosopher who G.K. Chesterton refuted. https://youtu.be/1mtERIWYxk0

Do you have the same problem with collective minded black supremecists here in the USA?
Absolutely. Also the ones that seem to think whites are superior the them and they should be lifted up as a collective while destroying what they believe to be the white collective.
