I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I need to vent.
The number of people online who have been wringing their hands about the possibility of congresspeople facing violence is pathetic. These are blood-soaked Fascists operating one of the most violent apparati in human history, each with more blood on their hands than the entire rioting cohort put together. There was never any possibility of then seizing power and if you're worried about your precious congresspeople, you're straight up a Left-Liberal.
Literally had someone use the Nuremberg defense in favor of congresspeople on Twitter.
These aren't your friends! You will never elect enough AOCs to make a difference! Every single one will vote yes for the next military budget and every single one will vote yes on the next war. These people are monsters.
This is not to say that opposing the putsch or worrying about it as a sign is bad, but if you're worried about your besties in the United States fucking Congress, you don't understand the stakes we're playing for.
I earnestly believe that Fascism is simply taking the American model and adapting it to European circumstances. Americanism with Italian/German characteristics, if you will.
Hitler's American Model is my basis for this argument. It's astonishing how much the Nazis straight lifted from the US.
Rev Left has 2 Patreon episodes where he reads through Blood in My Eye and it further radicalized me and helped break the walls of misconception about America as fascist
I adore Brett and I'll check those episodes out. Thanks.
