    Or someone that’s actually read some history will find the inevitable decline of liberalism very, very familiar, and agree that a fascist nation having a civil war instead of invading their neighbors is the best outcome once the old order collapsed under the weight of its hubris.

      Oh, man, care to point me to all that history I haven’t heard of? Would love to read more about all the liberal regimes that collapsed into fascism democratically but were liberated by a civil war and everything was just fine afterwards. Bonus points if it’s either pre- or post- cold war and there isn’t a bloc system where they can act as a proxy for a remote superpower. Would have been so useful to know when our country descended into decades of fascism by the exact opposite method. We didn’t know we were doing it wrong.

      But hey, at least I can recognize that as accelerationist nonsense. The weird part is when normie Americans seem to have the same set of assumptions out of nowhere. That’s where the real weirdness happens.

      Anyway, I’ve had enough yankee for a day. I’m out. You guys enjoy your barbecue or civil war or however you decide to spend the weekend.

        Not the brightest bulb, huh? That’s okay, I’m sure you’re great at emotional intelligence or whatever else soothes the ego.
