    “I would fight fascism to my last breath” “I would be part of the resistance movement if a fascist government took power”

    proceeds to do none of the un-sexy things needed to prevent fascism from taking hold in the first place

      Exactly. They think being in a resistance is sexy, because they consume media that glorifies it. They dress it up and hide the realities while amplifying the parts that are heroic and good looking, and think that’s what being in a resistance is like. Couple that with Main Character Syndrome and you’ve got a bunch of tankies who think they’re going to kick ass at organizing a resistance and all be leaders when in fact most of them are going to do something stupid, get caught by the fascist regime, and die in a camp.

        I think it’s more likely they’d join the fascist regime and rationalize some reasons why that’s the “revolutionary” thing to do.

        I doubt the tankies would be dying in a camp but only because they’d be the ones running the camps.

          Meme rhetoric at it’s best folks. We can’t have a real discussion because this guy has a “bingo”.

            We’ve had discussions. But here I thought I’d just point out you rely on throwing as many things as you can at the wall. So many that you could win a bingo in your one comment!
