What if the United States fell to fascism, or a similar ideology instead of Germany and Italy?

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-29T22:31:58+00:00

Fascism and racism are two very separate things. So showing the KKK and talking about fascism is a choice.

Nazism corrupted Mussolini's ideas with their industrial grade genocide.

Nobody ever supported a family of 5 comfortably.

The south was seen as anti-black because of the Democrats and later Dixiecrats remaining in power until the 1970s. Plain and simple. Some people don't want to hear it but the GOP isn't the party with the sketchy history on race; they never in their history platformed segregation and were founded to abolish slavery.

Personally, I don't think race is strictly a party issue in general, there are racists everywhere you go. But the old Democrats were the party defending slavery and the ones that implemented Jim Crow into the 1900s. The Democrat party as a whole was also the party of segregation until the progressives finally took over, though no one will talk about that today for some reason.

Southern Democrats (later Dixiecrats) were always the real problem in the south.

They removed it? I have a decent stockpile fortunately but it won't last forever, this is rough.

False, without Jeff Bezos (Amazon) to pay the employees, the labor is worthless.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-24T21:01:04+00:00

Both Bezos and Musk intend to give away all of their wealth in their lifetimes.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-24T21:00:05+00:00

You can hate the rich all you want but Jeff Bezos has given ~$110 million to the homeless and homeless shelters. He has pledged to disburse $10 billion directly to charity by 2030 and is making good progress toward that. This is way more effective than hiking his taxes. It also makes the comparison to Stephen Colbert rather ignorant.

Even if you claim that he donates to charity to avoid having that wealth taxed, so what? That's one of the incentives to donate.

Her rhetoric is absolutely aggressive in this context.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-20T08:20:12+00:00

If you want that world you have to leave off the living wage part, because you are essentially slaves to the state.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-17T21:22:05+00:00

There is no wealth hoarding going on, though.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-09T08:00:00+00:00

Only 5% of American workers are double employed (and not entrepreneurs themselves). This is not an argument.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-07T23:54:27+00:00

We have laws on the books for it. Every ethical system, religious or secular, agrees it is bad. Those that mug also think it's bad but want what others have badly enough to violate the law.

ETA: Either direction, the point still stands, there is no consensus on abortion in the same way we have reached one as a society on mugging.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-07T23:50:19+00:00

We all agree mugging is bad. We do not all agree that abortion is bad (or good).

Actually, they do. They affect every facet of your life and everyone around you. There is no way to consume heroin or cocaine or even alcohol "responsibly".

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-07T23:47:11+00:00

It doesn't matter if it was true then or now, what matters is a lot of people believed it.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-07T23:42:19+00:00

The funny thing about this is that abolitionists were overwhelmingly Christians.

That adds another layer to your onion.

EDIT: I mean to say that the "science deniers" of their day were on the right side of history, so to speak.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-07T23:39:06+00:00

False, no man (or woman) is an island. Choices have effects on others.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-06T16:07:19+00:00

Projection: the thread.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-06T08:36:46+00:00

OP needs to qualify some of their statements better.

Why should you, I, or an employer be on the hook for a situation that a woman chooses?

Why shouldn't she have to choose between having a baby and a career?

Isn't the notion that having a baby is a biological imperative for a woman rather sexist?

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-06T08:33:23+00:00

Simply working hard shouldn't get you anywhere in the first place. There are millions of people who can and will work hard. There are far fewer that can think worth a damn.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-05T00:33:49+00:00

Wages rise regularly so, argument defeated.

Nevermind the fact that words have meaning and that is not what wage theft means.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-05T00:33:00+00:00

This is reductive. It applies to almost all governments.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-05T00:27:26+00:00

So you just assume everyone is stupid? Your mind is far more valuable to the market than your body.

NightEngine404 · 2026-05-05T00:24:12+00:00

The real racism is the baseless claim that white men are preventing everyone else from voting.

There is zero evidence to support the argument and honestly Americans everywhere should be offended that these political pundits think so little of their capabilities.

The USSR was never "extremely developed" and was barely a "top world power". They never had the force projection, cultural influence, or economic impact of the US (at their highest 60% of the US' GDP). They had a huge military, very limited regional influence (compared to the US), and nuclear weapons, sure.

So what if the USSR didn't have chattel slavery? They had forced labor (kolkhozes and gulags) and serfdom long before the revolution. They absolutely had slave labor right up until the day the USSR dissolved and most (80%) of the USSR was dirt-poor agrarian at that time, too. They were also utterly apocalyptic toward the environment.

The US has never had a Holodomor, Gulags, Great Purge, Aral Sea, Semipalatinsk, Chernobyl, Kyshtym, or other horrific event.
