Colonial empires doing colonialist things.

Turns out the real America was in the hearts of the world this entire time

Well, still on the American continent at least.

Yeah, unfortunately even the fediverse suffers from a heavy dose of US defaultism.

In a country where there is an actual social security network, not least free healthcare. The rate is much higher for the US, which doesn't have any of that, so being poor in the US is much much worse than being poor in Germany.

Why does fascist regimes never last 50 years? Because a powerful alliance of countries relentlessly vanquish them, historically. No such powerful alliance is present today. You should not make historical rules of whay is not rules at all. You have learnt the wrong lesson from history.

Is it though? Mussolini ruled in Italy 21 years, Hitler ruled for 15. And the reason both of them fell was on account of the very concerted effort of an extremely powertul alliance of foreign powers waging unrelenting war against them both for years. Otherwise they would have ruled to their natural deaths, and their heirs would have taken over.

What happened during WWII is not a scenario which is likely to occur in present day US. There is no powerful alliance going to wage unrelenting war against the US fascist government. On the contrary China and Russia applauds what is going on.

Your comment is a good example of why history doesn't repeat itself, even though much of it is very recognisable.

Of course not, but I don't think anybody suggested that.

Not if US fascism continues to reign for the next 50 years. Then she will proudly brag to her grandchildren that she was among the pioneers who supported the Great Leader in his early struggles against decadent Western socialism. And her grandchildren will listen in awe and wonder at how brave their grandmother was in fighting to get rid of all the socialist islamist terrorists.

Yeah, I stopped playing online multiplayer games years ago in favour of singleplayer only, and it has been such a improvement in my enjoyment of gaming overall. The no anti cheat is just an added bonus.

Still, only the US has an annual toddler/dog gun killing rate (as in the toddler/dog shooting somebody else).

Also 44% of Americans live in a household where a gun is present.

I'm not familiar with either.
