Every third generation after the event apparently.

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.

turns out Minneapolis shouldnt gave given up their guns, huh....

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

right now there is no chaos, just proper predictable protests. rioting isnt neccesarily violence

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Gonna need more than a stick and a sheet of poster board

[–] Fusselwurm@feddit.org 55 points 4 days ago (9 children)

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.

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.

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.

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

Not to mention that America inspired the Nazis, and after we "beat them", we hired them to run NASA and NATO...

You didn't beat them before. Your grandparents did.

[–] Sine_Fine_Belli@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Maybe, but it’s up to us now. Let’s make our grandparents proud

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Grandpa had a gun and the strength of the US army behind him.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 21 points 4 days ago (2 children)

But only after they have already killed millions.

One of these would be fun, but ICE would probably fire back with real bullets.
