    There is no “after fascists”? What the hell are you talking about? Are you aware Germany is currently one of the strongest economies, one of the top political players, one of the most influential countries we have today? They also have laws specifically prohibiting denying the holocaust and disseminating Nazi propaganda, because they learned and our . They learned their lesson with fascism and now are actively fighting against it, while being a great country to live in; This is after fascists. Sure, it wasn’t the next fucking day. But it happened, which is more than can be said about the US.

    So yeah, maybe sometimes the solution is to burn the country down and hope it rises from the ashes. If it does, it’ll be stronger. If it doesn’t, maybe it shouldn’t.

      I don’t think hoping someone external can decimate our population in a war is the answer. Especially when the country most likely to do so would be China.

      The current US military is more powerful than Hitler’s ever was, and it’s not close.

      Ok, we’ve solved it:

      Step 1: Vote in fascism.

      Step 2: Wait for the US, UK and Russia to destroy your country and millions of your young people.

      Step 3: …

      Step 4: Leftist utopia.

        As long as the US provides essentially all of your military support for the next hundred years, free of charge
