It is almost like Operation Paperclip imported the Nazis leadership from Germany to complete the Business Plot then under the Dulles regime implemented a 50 year plan to roll out fascism in the US in

That's rich from the guys arresting people for protesting against killing children

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Yeah...both can be scumbags. One has camps.

Hardly rich, they are shit on a smaller scale.

And currently trying to remove trial by jury.

The US never went through a character arc. Why and how would they? They're hyper focused on violence and the self, leaving behind morality, self reflection and self restraint, and they're self-centered enough that they never cared for someone else's suffering. This is also why the US is not an actual community but a collection of competing strangers. It's a nation of selfish villains, basically Western European culture on crack (which would make Israel Western culture on fent? lol), the unholy child of the two major historical villains France and the UK...

After all these years, they're the same people, the same amoral, heartless morons. They haven't changed and they never will without external help, because from their Anglo-Saxon/Western European origins they will only find idk forest fairies and Viking pillaging and orgies in their ideological toolbox. So whatever excuse for violent takeover they had centuries ago will work again today, and I don't think it'll change, not for at least 50 years post American balkanization or something, and God knows when that's gonna happen.

So adorable when Brits think they have a moral high ground

[–] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 day ago

Yep, while the UK police are busy throwing anti-genocide protesters into prisons. Definitely not even slightly fascist.

yup. britain is basically the only empire that could ever compare with the destruction promoted by the us empire.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 0 points 17 hours ago

Oh they are so much worse it's not even a question. Truly they are the emperor to our Darth Vader.

[–] wurzelgummidge@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow, have they only just noticed? They also need to take a look at Farage and some of their own media. It's not an accident that fascism is on the rise.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 22 points 1 day ago

No. It's just reached the point that they can no longer remain diplomatic about it. Which I suspect was similarly the case in the 1930s.

[–] OmniDeficient@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 day ago

I've heard how British MPs talk. Their rhetoric may be particular to Britain, but they are every bit as evil, bigoted, genocidal and whateverr else as their American counterparts. The once upon a time "socialist" Labour isn't even tailing Reform at this point, they are just leapfrogging each other on the worst kind of shit straight out of 1939 Germany.
In various degrees and according to domestic conditions, the trend is the same all over the empire.

Hey take a look at Starmer while you're at it.

House of Commons calls on Keir Starmer to condemn Donald Trump’s ‘interference’ in European politics

That's pure comedy gold.

The House of Commons seems to have never had a problem interfering in the politics of other countries. For example, in Georgia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doKuOlpffdU
