Christ, what the fuck is wrong with the world? Didn’t we solve this in WWII? Didn’t the world kinda collectively discover that being a fascist, Nazi dickbag isn’t the way to go? What happened?
Well, contemporary world is full of examples of people being a far right dickbag, even though they declare the exact opposite (as a fine fascist would do), that are"histories of success"
The living memory of the war is close to gone at this point, it’s only something most of us understand through reading and media.
It’s kind of a sad reality that some people can only understand a thing after they experienced it. Fascism is one of those things that cycles up again and again and needs to be defeated and restrained in perpetuity.
Just like how many people stopped being supportive of labor unions, a lot of dummies out there have this misplaced belief that as soon as any problem goes away, we no longer need to uphold the things that solved those problems in the first place.
Of course that’s not at all how the world works. Bad actors are constantly looking for gaps in our defenses. They’re never going to fully go away because there is an ever present 25-30% of humanity that frankly sucks.
It requires a continuous collective effort to stave these despicable motherfuckers off.

Thinking defeating the “evil guys” is a one and done type of deal is precisely why we are here.
Somewhere along the line, some of us decided that punching Nazis is wrong. That was a mistake.

You’re super letting the CIA off the hook here. Operation Gladio killed a generation of leftists and leftist resistance in Italy.
The west already knew how useful fascism and Nazis are.
