roosevelt nailed it with this quote..wow...

Post by Freakaloin »

"But I venture the challenging statement that if American democracy ceases to move forward as a living force, seeking day and night by peaceful means to better the lot of our citizens, then Fascism and Communism, aided, unconsciously perhaps, by old-line Tory Republicanism, will grow in strength in our land." -Franklin D. Roosevelt, November 4, 1938

hey thats exactly what happened!...

Fascism is a lot worse than George Bush in office for a few years. Besides America has never been a democracy anyhow, it has been and remains to this day, a Federal Republic.

Like millions of Jews, gypies, mentally and physically disabled people, and the like murdered for no reason? Millions of peoples displaced and lives interrupted? Cities destroyed? Fire-bombing of Toyko? Dresden leveled? Hiroshima nuked? Is that what America is doing? Damn, I must have missed BBC this week.

My comment was in regards to the results of fascism, both directly and indirectly. I assumed, by the way I that phrase my argument, everyone would be able to understand what I was getting at (LOL INTERNET). Apparently egocentrics are above and beyond implict sarcasm.

Not quite. If you think a mere 2000+ American soldiers killed in Iraq (over a period of two and half years no less) is equivelant to the results of the Good War, you are greatly mistaken. Enough said.

Are you suggesting that Hitler's National Socialism was not in fact a fascist movement? If so... :puke:

apparently they're also above and beyond goofy logic too, since your suggestion that hiroshima counts as a black mark in the fascism column is a stretch to say the least

ok i've read this about 8 times and still have no idea what you're talking about, but i think you should go to america and tell those soldiers' families that their kids were a "mere" 2000+ dead. while you're at it you can fly by iraq and tell everyone that a mere 100,000 dead is a price worth paying for military bases and oil control

Why are you arguing? You seem to desire to make yourself look sophisticated and more aware of (in this case) historical events and happenings; which is fine and dandy in and of itself. To aquire knowledge of this world's past is a noble thing to do, that is, if you have really done that. I won't question wheater you actually have or not because I really don't care. Your internet personality sucks.

I confess my orginal comment was a bit poorly constructed. Obviously, I did not mean to insinuate that fascism lead to the bombing of Hiroshima. We all know that the events of the European and Pacific Theaters of Operations were two completely different beasts altogether.

Although, thinking about it now, minus the "fire-bombing of Toyko" and "Hiroshima nuked", my orginal comment still holds water. The Nazi's killed millions... however millions also died in limbo as the Nazi's were fought back. My comment was in regards to the results of fascism, both directly and indirectly.

Now Freakalion, you are an attention grabbing ass. We all know that. You are a million miles from saving your reputation, but why not just humor me for a split second and actually give a damn half-assed, well-thought out reply that actually means something without using the word "moron".

I got a hundred saying you can't do it.
