Because those are what Americans think they believe in, not what they actually believe in when push comes to shove. You overthrow an American-aligned tyrant and you're suddenly a terrorist, the wrong people wield guns and they're suddenly taken away (see: Black Panthers) and I'd certainly like someone to tell the prison-industrial complex about the liberty stuff. Americans like to call these "American values," but if you care at all about these values and take even a cursory look through America's history and at its modern states, the only logical conclusion is to hate America's guts. Therefore, being un-American or anti-American says nothing about one's disposition towards tyranny or liberty.

He's the first successful example of a fascist takeover, is what I meant.

Tehran “is the principal source of regional instability and terror,” declare G7 leaders in a joint statement.

The leaders of the G7 countries on Monday issued a joint statement saying Iran should not have nuclear weapons and affirming Israel's right to defend itself.

I never had much hope, but come the fuck on. Statements like these unironically make me want to cheer for the fascists.

They're not, but genocide is also a very American act gestures at manifest destiny. My point isn't that entities hostile to America are good guys by default, but that so-called American values are and have always been a farce and that supporting or opposing something depending on its "American-ness' is illogical.

"Unamerican" is just another word for "sane" and has always been save for a short period during the 1940s.

And we will never think of or hear about this guy ever again.

Of the first successful 21st century fascist? No way. Give it a few decades and you'll start getting neo-MAGAs.

Stay fascist, Israel.

Simply being removed from office without heavy consequences for all of them just sends the message that the next sleazebag can start to slowly carve a path on the shadows and attempt success where these grifters failed.

Even if there are heavy consequences, without massive social and economic reforms fascism will rear its ugly head within a generation. Both are necessary, and I don't see nearly enough talk about the latter.

See: Black Panthers.

Given that the person who accidentally shot Ah Loo also credibly prevented a mass shooting, that's not the gotcha you think it is.

Fair enough.
