nobody identifies with the bad guys

The absolute fucking moment Trump re-takes office, you're going to see Donald Trump / Darth Vader mash ups, with the Death Star blowing up a planet tagged "Woke Libs" and Vader choking a guy labeled "Biden Voters".

That the SPD is the leading party and the CDU is the opposition applies on the federal level, which is irrelevant to public schools that are always ran by the state government.

Federal governments clawing back municipal power and installing allied governors in municipal posts is pretty standard imperialist behavior.

We've seen it in the UK. We've seen it in Texas. We've seen it in Turkey. We've seen it in India. I doubt Germany will be an exception.

He wants that, yes. But he also wants anyone who calls him a Cheeto to be dragged out into the street and maimed.

He wants his opponents to be treated like trash. He wants parts of the country that hate him to be treated like Israel treats Palestine.

Well... that's sort of a chicken-egg question. I'm not betting that fascist tendencies in social circles post-dated the allegory of the Fasces. I'm sure you can find them going back thousands of years.

Idk if I'd discount the brutality of Vietnam, between the cluster bombs and zippo raids and land mines and Agent Orange defoliant.

That war was about as brutal as it was possible to get, shy of nuclear strikes.

I think the WWs were, perhaps, more brief because of their scale. Very hard to maintain two fronts across central Europe for any length of time.

E Pluribus Unum

Quite literally the symbol of the Union.

Further proof that America is secretly being controlled and undermined by nefarious Communists.

The original parable of the Fasces is basically the argument behind unionism.

But Fascism loves to appropriate icons of left wing movements and pervert them. That's nothing new.
