Crazy how quick libs are to excuse genocide.

"Yeah my party does genocide but they're the lesser evil"

"Yeah Taiwan is looking up to a genocidal state but that's okay because it's to stop China"

People don't go to popular to find out what's literally popular on the site overall, they want to find new subreddits or see popular stuff they would like.

They went after Germany because Germany declared war on them when they went to war to war with Japan. There's nothing ironic about fascists getting into fights with fascists only to then... Still be fascist years later.

If the US weren't already fascist and went to fight the Nazis out of some sort of moral duty only to later wind up becoming Nazis themselves then yes that would be ironic.

Right but you said it was ironic that the US is now like Nazi Germany. Implying they fought the Nazis out of anti-Nazism only to end up like Nazis themselves. That would indeed be ironic but that's not what happened. The US were always like Nazis, the Nazis were literally inspired by America. They only fought the Nazis because they were attacked not because they had some moral integrity.

If Germany stuck to genociding Jews in their own country there would be no war. Even the US didn't get involved until they got sttacked directly.

The genocide that happened under Biden is the same one happening under Trump. Saying "but Trump will do more genocide" makes you sound like a fucking idiot.

And saying "Not voting for someone who refuses to speak out on x is having an idealised moral high ground" when the x in question is a genocide makes you a genocide belittling prick.

Monkey together strong.

Also depending on where you are there's likely already anti-fascist groups.

The person belittling a genocide is a genocidal prick. There is no "more genocide". If genocide isn't a redline for you then you're a genocidal prick.

You have more power than just voting every 4 years lmao. Get organised and start interacting with like minded people and get other people on your side. Every 4 years there's 1540 days where you could be fighting fascism and you're only doing it for 1.

I'm so glad Hitler was voted into power and not Himmler that would've been bad.

The concentration camps are a perfect example. No one's saying both sides are the exact same. They're saying they both serve US imperialism. Case and point: one side wants 5 concentration camps, the other thinks that's a little too much and we should settle for 1.

If you want to build concentration camps you're a fascist. If you're okay with a party wanting to build concentration camps or can look past it you're a fascist. You wouldn't accept someone in the 1930s saying "yeah what the nazis are doing with the Jews is bad but have you seen their treatment of animals? I'll vote for them but I'm no Nazi."
