Oh, look... a fascist sympathizer!
Don't be ridiculous. Pointing out that current efforts at stamping out facism by antifa are obviously not working and resenting the comparison between them and men who risked their lives and died fighting it does not make me a fascist sympathiser.
Fuck me for having the wrong opinion and seeing room for improvement.
So far, antifa is the only thing that has had any effect on the fascists, genius - you and your liberal brethren, on the other hand, have done nothing but vote Wall Street liberals into power that "reaches across the aisle" to the fascists before you're even done celebrating their wins.
Oh yeah? What about the ones who died propping up fascist regimes in Korea and Vietnam? Were they (supposedly) "antifascists," too? Or where they just men who, like their counterparts in WW2, were ordered to "defend 'Murica" before being sicced on whoever posed an obstacle to "manifest destiny"?
But don't worry about any of this, liberal... you'll soon get your chance to show antifa how you can fight fascism so much better than they can soon enough - that is, if you haven't decided to put your head down and co-operate with the fascists like most of your liberal fellow-travellers inevitably will.
I like how you instantly assume I'm an American just how you instantly assume I'm some kind of fascist because I think equating antifa with war heroes is distasteful.
"Oh yeah? What about the ones who died propping up fascist regimes in Korea and Vietnam?"
I was talking about those who were landing on the beaches and by extension the allies of WW2 in general, as was the OP image. You can't just try to expand the scope of what I said to try to make it sound like I praise all dead soldiers regardless of the cause. We were talking about fighting against fascism.
I don't give a fuck where you're from.
Yeah, I agree... equating people who voluntary stand up to fascists with those who has to be ordered to do so is extremely distasteful.
Oh but I can, and I did - you want to pretend that the US military that particpated in WW2 is (somehow) completely unrelated to the US military that waged dirty mass-murder campaigns on the 3rd world both before and after WW2.
Yeah... no. I don't think so.
You mean that thing you haven't done a shred of so far?
Not everyone was drafted, you bell end. Plenty were there because they signed up.
I'm not bothered about what the US military has or hasn't done, frankly. I wasn't talking about the whole history of war, just that particular war and the alies, specifically.
And how do you know I've done nothing to fight fascism, anyway?
Stop being a sourpuss.
Your vapid ideology gave me a clue, liberal.
Okay.
