Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The great flaw in the fascist plans leading to WW2 wasn't a military error.
It was not being America or Russia.
They're looking to fix those oversights.
Don't forget, the goal of Hitler was a united Europe. Now that Europe is united, it's turning far right in most countries. Hitler just had the formula all backwards. Now with Russia being a dictatorial regime and Trump being a Putin lover, Biden is the one to stop the US from being a Russian puppet state. This world is so fucked up right now. Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union and the American Republicans are all for it.
Yeah, the Soviet Union, but with all the lip service to communism replaced by actual capitalism.
Well, not really. The regime is a totalitarian dictatorship, the system is extremely corrupt with all the oligarchs. So it's not really capitalism. Communism is replaced by nationalism. Not really nazism, as the nazies had a very social system (only national). Putin wants the old borders of the Soviet Union back, not socialism.
That's what I wrote …
But he also doesn't want capitalism but totalitarianism.
Capitalism doesn't need free market to exist. In fact, capitalism has nothing to do with free markets, only with ownership of the means of production.
Fair point!
I knew they were going off the rails for decades, but when I saw them stroking themselves to shirtless Putin on horseback while saying Obama was "weak" because "mom jeans", I knew they were just beyond righting themselves.
Yeah but honestly, the way the polls are looking right now, so is the US.
Relatively early on (can't remember the date) Himmler gave a somewhat notorious speech about eventually recruiting far flung "true Aryans" from the US into the SS, much like they eventually did from several other countries.
Luckily history played out a bit differently.
