It seems nicer than the Woke Reich

Say what you want about "woke" (assuming you can define it), but its worst excesses were curbed by democratic elections.

What's the endgame of a movement that seeks to discredit, overturn, and functionally control elections?

This exact thought is the human death drive externalized and is responsible for a lot of human misery in the world. Shame on those who unironically believe it.

The excesses of the Weimar Republic did not justify the subsequent events. Not even close.

It's been 10 years, and I have still yet to hear any two people define "woke" the same.

  • It’s been 10 years and I have still yet to ear anyone on the far left defining what is a woman without using the very word “woman”.

    Meaning: if you think the majority of people will be coerced to normalize this all insanity being pushed by a bunch of mindless Marxists living under the prosperity of capitalism, you will be sorely disappointed.

    The USA just elected 2 communists for mayors (they don’t even hide it anymore) but here people are trying to tell us the real issue with present society is fascism.

    I’ve seen how that game plays out: and it’s not pretty.

    • > The USA just elected 2 communists for mayors (they don’t even hide it anymore) but here people are trying to tell us the real issue with present society is fascism.

      Italy had elected dozens of communist and socialist leaders, including mayors, in the 1940s. History does indeed blame the fascists for cooperating with the Nazis, not the minority parties.

      If you think the historians framed the wrong guy, that's news to me. Show me some evidence that fascism is a smaller threat to America, I love a good argument.
