    USA is the real source of fascism. As I mentioned elsewhere, today I met with an old colleague who lives in USA. He repeats any/all political propaganda he sees on TV. Somewhere in-between his going on and on about how Biden’s administration is comprised of a bunch of homosexuals, he mentions at one point that the Russian government is full of Nazis. Then the next thing he starts talking about right after that is that Russian civilization is coming to an end because not enough superimperialist capitalist slavery and as a result are being colonised by “authoritarians” in Russia and China.

    Really it was an intriguing though horrifying confusion of ideas, courtesy of Westerners.

      Believing America has a monopoly on being evil is just another kind of American exceptionalism.

        Yes I am an American exceptionalist… in an alternate dimension. In the past 400 or so years, we have seen only 2 countries having a solid duopoly on evil, that has transcended any evils that happened in ancient human history.
