I applaud the sentiment, but uhm… I don't think the comparison is helpful. Fighting external enemies is very different from fighting fascism from within. The "the state champions freedom" vs "the state is tyranny" kind of different.
That depends on what you think the comparison is and from what vantage point. If the comparison is current grass roots opposition to the government to the US and Allies fight against Hitler, then sure. The comparison is better made with the rest of the world's multi decade effort to defeat the nazis and their allies.
Better if it shows a Confederate soldier?
We will beat them again. It's just a question of how much suffering until then, and how much we actually root out the ideology.
Did you really though?
Reconstruction was never truly complete and allowed for a full range of "compromises". The attitude and feelings remained the same.
Quite sad that 175 years later and the arguments have changed very little.
To give some context to how little it's changed even in rhetoric. Confederate leaders were fear mongering about socialism.
Like… our main problem today is not guns and ships.
The main problem is media, i.e. the propaganda system that keeps MAGAts happy to shoot themselves in the foot.
But you are the media in this world. Everybody here is generating media everyday. Traditional media was replaced with Facebook and Twitter and reddit. How many leftist removed themselves from there? Is it any surprise that the whole world seems like it's using right wing talking points anymore. The left fucked themselves and most still don't get what has happened here
The Conservative Propaganda Machine.
Before this is over, it will have to dealt with as the National Security Threat it is.
Imagine living through the last 30 years and honestly thinking you weren't voting for your own decimating because you picked the blue fascist team.
Yeah it’s wishful reduction to think it’s as simple as this.
They forfeited the right to be called my countrymen when they spat on the founding principles of the nation. They are foreign to the American ideal.
Yeah but they don't have an entire world of countries using guns and bombs to tell them that.
Fighting fascism is a whole lot easier when it decides to start a world War, every other instance they just continue on within their own borders.
We're trying to avoid the whole world war part but it'll come if these assholes continue
Unfortunately if a world war comes it will likely be to bomb civilians while the megacorps make deals with all parties to stay clear of their production lines...
Then we blow up the production lines with fireworks if need be.
if the thugs & bombs don't get to us first...
History will be written by the Eric and Donald jrs of the world. 🤢
Bold of you to assume they can write.
Maybe the weapon is being held by a European liberator
