Your ignorance of history and willingness to buy Russian propaganda is sad. Europe downplayed investment in military capacity because this was seen and agreed as the best way to reduce the risk of WWIII. Europe also realized that building things is better than destroying things. Is it spineless to do this? Question to you, mavdi, did you volunteer to serve in the armed forces? If not, do you view yourself as spineles…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> It's March 2025 and the US has gone full-fascism. It's amazing to see people say things like this as if the US was any different before. Trump just put an honest face on fascism and imperialism. Before, they were exercised in a 'polite', polished manner. Even by Obama who stomped down the Occupy Wall Street.

Yes, it was different before. The status quo may have been fascistic and certainly imperialist but still would have been far more preferable to what's coming.

So you prefer the pretense of civility to the honesty of reality.

Occupy protesters who got curbstomped on the ground by police would disagree.
