Ah yes, Europe never had to deal with such far right-wingers. We'd like borrow the term you guys came up with to describe them in case we ever face such violent fascists. What was it again?

Oh right, Nazis.

Those were mostly dead before you were born and you have likely never personally suffered at the hands of right wing violence.

My niece had her hand broken by a rancid nazi flag waving trumpfucker for having the gall to stand up for trans rights, but I'm sure the old-timey pro-nationalist graffiti you've have occasionally been forced to observe was just as harmful.

There are literal hard right militias training with military grade equipment on our own soil RIGHT NOW, and it is likely that most of the police force will join them.

No one you know or love is at threat more than my own family right now and I will NOT sit by quiet while greasestains like you try and marginalize this.

Not that I don't agree with you, but do you really think the elderly edgelord forum warrior shtick is the best play? Taking a point from your own posts, is it really a good idea to post content online that might alienate potential allies? Food for thought.

If people are going to choose fascism because they were annoyed by an angry person on the internet, then this world deserves to fucking burn away to ash.

Not choose right but who the fuck would want to unite on the same side with you is a bit questionable. This "you don't know shit" attitude is why there is the right and then a hundred other lefts. Alright man you have seen the worst of everything, our understanding of fascism is but a speck of dust next to yours and American fascists would beat Hitler with their two hands tied. There happy?

Now who's being defeatist?

People who have a reasonable grasp of history and a low opinion of humanity in general?

And I suppose you're the only one of those around, right? So why tear into people about the state of the US if, by your own admission, it's probably a lost cause? There have to be better ways for you to kill time until the end.

I'm hoping to build a good visibly angry and progressive online profile so when the fascists take over and use AI to scrape social media histories, that my ident's affinity is high enough for them to send the death squads to me early. I'm so fucking tired of every ounce, inch, and erg of the last decade.

Well, that's certainly a unique approach to dealing with a national crisis. Carry on.

Thank ye lordship for your permission to be the person I have been from birth. I can now go on safe in the fact that some internet rando approves of my elaborate an hero arrangement. It is a wonder that I had been able to consider such at all without your magnanimous blessing.

I had intended the 'Carry on' as a sort of friendly valediction, but this was a fun bonus.
