Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much

Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?

They agree on a lot more than you'd think, once you parse out each cult's different groupspeak

FDR, Churchill , Hitler, and Mussolini also had a lot in common when you get down to it. Same as humans and chimpanzees. It's the differences that actually matter.

I mean they each protected capitalism in their own way:

FDR, being old money who'd just seen MacArthur send in the tanks to raze a camp of rebellious soldiers and knew how these things tended to go, invested in guillotine insurance via the New Deal.

Hitler and Mussolini used the other approach, privatizing/selling off state assets and applying colonial methods they'd perfected in Africa back home to buttress capitalism and protect profits.

I'm not gonna get started on Churchill.
