That guy couldn't argue his points properly with students half his age and he had the charisma of an orthopedic sloth. Future president my ass.
There's a reason his chosen format was what it was. The single biggest contribution to conservatism he ever did was get shot. Other than that one defining incident he mattered to them about as much a housefly.
So uh, did this guy who died get what he needed while he literally worked himself to death?
No? Oh. To each according to their needs huh?
I don't really mind much of what Marx wrote in theory, but it actually has to work in practice first.
Only if you buy into the weird fanboy versions that got regurgitated by the /nazichan degenerates for years and years. They couldn't see past their own hatred.
He knew what was coming. He saw a narrow plan to circumvent it, and in the end when it failed he gave up his freedom and for all intents and matters his own life because of his love of humanity.
Now you can fault him for being impatient, too sparse with information and even prideful at times, but a fascist he was not.
To paraphrase Oll a bit; he needed nothing for himself. He would've been happy living in a cave or on a barren moor for all that he cared about regarding his own comfort, but the rest of humanity needed that symbol to rally around, and so he built it. Malcador has several thoughts regarding this subject, as do several others in His close vicinity.
There is quite the selection of reading material on the matter if you really care.
Regardless of what the Empire became after the heresy you cannot put everything on the Emperor's feet. He quite literally mentioned (as did Elrdrad and Malcador) that HE couldn't see the endgame anymore.
Someone certainly didn't do all that well at their history lessons. If Memnon led an ARMY from Aethiopia to the siege of Troy there might've just been ..say, a few people of different fucking complexions mucking about in the immediate aftermath of said siege.
Not to mention all the trade going on for centuries in those parts.
..and also, yeah, a Cyclops is just fine because it happens to be the right color, right?
But this is otherwise a complete dealbreaker, is it? What the fuck? (I mean, I know it's just a racist piece of shit spewing idiocy, but still, what the everliving fuck?)
Sure buddy, good luck with that.
That's ..quite the word salad. I don't mind drugs or anything but sometimes it might be a good idea to not hit the pipe quite that heavily, ya know?
Do you make it a point of being on the wrong side of every discussion involving Nazis or something?
In that case your views are even dumber, seeing as you're stating things left and right on random like they're hard facts. Note that I haven't necessarily disagreed with you, merely stated that things can go several different ways and we don't know anything for sure yet. Yet you're still clinging on the belief that your view on the matter is the only correct one and everyone else is dead wrong. Dangerously arrogant, that.
You wrote "If it becomes a full on totalitarianism and there's no civil war, we're plain and simple fucked." earlier. Either you're American or you're not, pick one.
You're a decade too late with that shit.
How do you think fighting all of Europe and your own population at once would go for the US military, especially a fractured one? You're not hiding any of it from anyone either, unlike what could be achieved back in the 1930's.
Even if Russia joined in on the other side I doubt it'd be fun for anyone involved. China would certainly enjoy it for a while but that's about it.
You already have what could be called death camps in your soil. They tried to kick out their undesirables before they resorted to killing them in the third Reich, too. Except for the ones that started dying imminently, of course. You're not hiding those camps from anyone either, not in 2026 and not as long as the internet exists.
I bet Venezuela will be such a nice place to live after the US will "use the oil money and put it back to the Venezuelan people", too. Nobody believed that, absolutely nobody. It's quite the lie to say that while simultaneously taking away all safety nets from your own population. Come on, seriously?
The genius visa part really makes the whole thing tie a knot on itself and makes it a perfect little bit of concentrated corruption. She almost learned the language, even, almost.
