  • The meme is making the effort required to be educated or a fascist equivalent when they are not.

    Being a fascist is intellectually easy.

    Got a problem? Blame migrants Can’t get ahead? Blame Jews Can’t afford a house? Black people got too uppity

    It’s a one trick pony, all problems are caused by someone else and I’m perfect.

    Understanding the systemic reasons why women still aren’t paid the same as men or why a disproportionate amount of African Americans are incarcerated is hard and requires a lot of foundational groundwork to overcome the huge capitalist propaganda machine.


  • I think the piece of shit view of Patton is over rated a touch.

    He didn’t acknowledge mental health and that manifested in his treatment of soldiers he deemed as cowards but within the context of his time it was pretty acceptable.

    He certainly was no statesman and had the diplomatic skills of a brick through a window however he was effective as a general and had the respect of many of his troops. As a leader he was effective.

    From an imperialism perspective he has nothing on MacArthur.

    TL;DR most people wish they were Patton when they should really want to be Bradley.
