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.

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.
The Conservative Propaganda Machine.
Before this is over, it will have to dealt with as the National Security Threat it is.
keeps ~~MAGAts~~ everyone happy to shoot themselves in the foot.
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.
Obama had all the power he needed to stop the WoT, the Patriot Act, the militarization of police, and the corruption of Wall Street in its tracks, but nope.
The ruling stating that presidents have complete immunity from persecution for acts taken in the official capacity as president, in which the judges made it clear that could even include assassinating political rivals, did not pass during Trump's administration.
It passed during Biden's administration. The Supreme Court basically told him "you can assassinate Trump and nothing would happen to you." He didn't even pursue him for persecution.
Democrats are not just useless, they're complicit.

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

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.
I didn't do shit because I wasn't alive then. And clearly they're not gone, because here they are. But you may note that slavery is illegal now. Not enough but not nothing. If you want to doom keep it to yourself.

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...
They are foreign to the American ideal.
What ideal would that be? Manifest Destiny, the genocidal land theft from indigenous people followed by enslaving Africans to build the nation?
This is America, and underneath the rhetoric and the eagles, always has been America. You've just been brainwashed into believing otherwise.

The founding principles of the nation are might makes right and don't whine, there's no truth nor justice in the world, and the US has behaved exactly that way from their Anglo-Saxon conception by crusading into America annihilating the locals, then enjoying slavery, then destabilising nations around the world post WW2 power reshuffle, pillaging, murdering and raping their way across the land for geopolitical and financial advantages. In the little time it's been a thing, it's accumulated sins for thousands of years. Get real, man, if you know any moral, righteous, prosocial and selfless Americans (maybe yourself included!) they are so despite their culture, not because of it.

Not to mention that America inspired the Nazis, and after we "beat them", we hired them to run NASA and NATO...
Maybe the weapon is being held by a European liberator

65 million people died in Europe alone. Facism has a profound price paid in blood by the working class while the ruling class benefits.
the non-violent protests has been largely ineffective , it just shows that there is no resistance when they use violence. the last thing the people at top want, rich people is rioting.
But only after they have already killed millions.
Every third generation after the event apparently.
You didn't beat them before. Your grandparents did.
