    people literally think hitler is the single end-all-be-all of fascism. bitch didn't even invent it scared-fash did

    if fascism comes to the united states it will be cloaked in a flag of course, but more importantly 80% of this idiot country will confidently declare it isn't because it doesn't come from a bavarian beerhall or some shit. the american people are unintellectual

      if fascism comes

      It's been here. It's always been here. Where do you think the Germans got their blueprints?

        "when fascism comes to america it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross" is a distorted antifascist slogan from the 40s, i was riffing on that

          Yeah, I got that. I personally don't like the slogan because I would argue the country has been fascist since its very conception, it just had more rudimentary political structures.
