In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups. Representatives from 67 countries gathered in the U.S. on Thursday for a meeting…

Has the US forgotten already that Hitler looked at the US race laws with admiration in Mein Kampf?
This isn’t new. This cancer has never been excised, just bandaged over because it became inconvenient to capitalist interests at the time.
As far as I can see, this shift back towards fascism in the US is the response to the rise of China as an economic and military power.
Some of this rise is attributable to the decline of favour of fossil fuels, and China’s position as market leader in solar and wind generation technology. This is why Trump has a hate for renewable energy, and such a throbbing micro-peen for oil. The US is being left behind, fast.
Forgotten? Most schools here probably don’t even teach that. I would bet that most Americans are not at all aware of this fact.
Many Americans probably think they liberated the entirety of Europe during WW2 with a little help from the British and Canadians.
[Nervous laughter remembering my history class textbooks…and the History Channel specials…and appreciating how games like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty showcased many other countries’ contributions to the effort I was never even aware of]
Heh. Heh? :3 lol
I remember really liking, I think it was Call of Duty 4 (?) as a kid because the main character was a Soviet soldier, and it was such a fresh perspective for that kind of game.
Are we thinking of World at War maybe? The one where you were a sniper stealthily sneaking through the Red Square with a Mosin Nagant?
That game was amazing. Along with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, I’ve played it through multiple times.
MoH:AA also featured a brief stint as the Soviets, too.
Both also made sure we knew the PPSH “pe-peh-sheh” is one of the coolest SMGs ever made. :D
I remember Call of Duty 3 on the Wii had a section where you played as a Polish tank crew!
Yeah I think it was World at War. MoH games were cool too, but back then before online, CoD single player games were so much more cinematic
I didn’t know about this until I read it on lemmy a few months ago. And I grew up in deep blue.
