PS: Don’t worry, today (9/17/2025) is the day that the house committee deliberates on Macro Rubio’s ability to use the people’s freedom of speech as evidence of terrorist organisation aid.

H.R. 5300, SEC. 226. NO PASSPORTS FOR TERRORISTS AND TRAFFICKERS

So it’s just a matter of time before all the Antifas are sent to concentration camps.

PPS: Sorry everyone, looks like this post got too many upvotes and influenced American politics.

      By the strictest definition, I guess I can see it. He opposed Hitler, the most visible fascist of the 20th century, so he’s an anti-fascist.

        Yeah but it wasn’t out of virtue. He didn’t oppose German fascism because it was an immoral and ruthless ideology. He opposed it because it was a threat to Britain’s power and influence. He was famously antisemitic and capitulated to the reich until the moment it became impossible to do so.

          Gave the Nazis a lot of support because they were going after socialists and Communists and that was the big fear of the industrialists. Instead of some moderate reform they got to deal with a supreme leader that started a world war.

          Thwy might have been better off with moderate reform than world war the rich.

            I was referencing the often parroted “nazis have socialist right in the name” talking point fascists use today.

      Anyone who thinks a state leader of one of the most destructive empires in modern human history is not fascist…

      This is the same empire that tried to destroy evidence of global wrongdoing in what they called Operation Legacy.

      Ultimately, the Germans were just a bit fascist-er.
