    Rarely does history dwell on the individual, especially when you cover hundreds of years in a class. I will say that I was taught about the leading factors of WW2 far more than WW1. A lot of it dwelt on a people suffering from the weight of reparations stacked upon the general weight of losing a war. I don’t say this to justify either timeframes decline to fascism, but to draw a parallel.

    In my opinion and personal experience the general population of the US has so much less power (purchasing and otherwise) and they’re mad. They want to be mad at something tangible and fascist direct it toward minorities.







  • I’ve maintained a mentality of Erasmus for so long; reform from within. I’ve commented before how unrealistic it is for CA/PNW secession. I’m now a huge proponent of it. Our last Civil War was fought over ‘states rights’. We’re seeing these rights absolutely demolished because of this administration. Our judicial system is flaunted, and our nation guard turned against us. We’ve been deprived of trade via tariffs, our tech is now (rightfully) spurned by our ‘allies’. CA has the largest GDP of the union (and 4th in the world) we need to make that felt.
