    The crux of people thinking fascism can be defeated by violence think WWII was an example of this. Not only did this not stop fascism, it exploded it. Now almost the entire world is fascist and they still somehow think violence is the answer.

    I did not wake up to choose violence, I was born for it, and therefor I will now start crossposting this to the Tankie comms.

      You forget that, contrary the the four-power pact or the German-French non-aggression pact, the Molotov-Ribbentrop treaty was a military alliance, in which both parties divided eastern Europe between themselves. There’s a big difference between a non-agression pact and an alliance…

      I mean America isn’t one person, so the meme still tracks. Whoever invented manifest destiny is definitely in the running though.

        “America allowed a controversial and counter-protested Nazi rally” doesn’t really compare to “Stalin invaded a fourth of Europe in coalition with the Nazis”

        Whoever invented manifest destiny is definitely in the running though.

        I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest that they could not have been Nazi collaborators, on account of the lack of Nazis at the time.

        Volunteering for bans. America has many sins, which are freely discussed and memed about on this comm, but anyone who comes in to play “WHATABOUTISM” apologia for Nazi collaborators is not welcome.
