I understand.

I can’t think of anything particularly bad he did, but someone will always have something to bring up. I wanted to sidestep that and just point out the reality of the office. There will never be a good American president- and it has little do to with the individuals involved.

Edit: Wait, you aren’t who I was replying to.

How do you read that from what I wrote?

My point was: he attempted or was associated with an attempt to do something less then the worst thing he could. And he was shot for it.

It is telling that while you can’t think of something cartoonishly evil he did off of the top of your head- you definitely remember that he was assassinated.

Edit: Apparently this edit is required. Whether Lincoln held the mission of abolishing slavery personally or not, he was associated with it. And was shot in cold blood for it. Do something less than the worst thing you could do as president and the American project will answer your arrogance.

Hunter Biden 2028!

Like a strict father

Is politics just the spectrum of daddy issues an individual might have?

claim that fascist are dumb, stupid and can achieve nothing

I seem to have struck a nerve. I wonder why this bothers you so much?

Fascists are great at: bullshitting, terrorizing and thieving. Fascism is catabolic. It is organized crime with the aesthetic of a political movement.

Obviously that’s not the image they present to population of the regions they take. But you knew what I was claiming they are incompetent at.

I get what you’re trying to get at. But I’m talking the developed material wealth of a region. Actual physical infrastructure like rails, mines, factories, universities and everyone with the required education and training to run all of it.

If the victors of the first war received the dividends of that real infrastructure- that matters right up until the moment that they don’t anymore.

Dismiss what? Fascism is catabolic. They can’t build anything. They can only loot until they run out of victims.

The projections of hyper competence and secret knowledge are part of their branding.

Stop being a fascist apologist.

Small country? They were a highly industrialized, highly educated and still quite materially wealthy colonial power going into the wars. They didn’t need to be competent. Enough people went along with them and there was plenty of residual wealth to burn on the war machine.

You don’t need to be an architect to burn down a building.

Hur hur. I’d wish people would stop assigning hyper-competence to Nazis. They never were. Hitler was a drug addict and the trains didn’t run on time.
