    So why resist them if they are doomed to fail?

    Are you watching different news than me? This “fucked” cult just coordinated over years to successfully capture the government, and started doing ethnic cleansing in short order.

    Claiming that the fascists are doomed to fail seems naive at this point in the fascist descent.

      Fascists are always doomed to fail cause it’s an incredibly shitty way to actually run a country.

        So then why did we have to sacrifice an entire generation to kill fascists in World War II?

      Why resist if we are doomed to fail? Things are bad but this is a winnable fight with the people on our side and they’re coming our way more and more with every stupid atrocity this dipshit government commits.

        Who’s saying we are doomed to fail?

        Things are bad but this is a winnable fight with the people on our side

        This goes completely contrary to what you’ve said so far. Everything you’ve said so far makes it sound like you think this is an unlosable fight.

        There is a lot at stake here, and there’s no guarantee this fascist doom spiral is just going to fizzle out on its own. The goal now is to get as many people armed as possible.

          Well, I do actually believe that, sort of. I think fascism given a long enough timeline inevitably sows the seeds of its own destruction and will radicalize everyone living under it to the point that they’re willing to kill and die fighting it. However, the longer that takes to happen the more people and communities that will be irrevocably destroyed by the fascists, so I definitely do agree there is a lot at stake here and we need to push this process along as quickly as it can go whether or not it’s inevitable.
