I am sick of liberals pretending any of what I said is untrue, however. There is no equivocation. Those extranational evils so easily disparaged, so easily allegedly thrown into the dustbin of history by some Amerikans - the Third Reich, the settler state of Israel and its occupation of Palestine, Pinochet, Marcos, on and on and on - it all comes back to the U.S.
U.S. funding, U.S. arming, U.S. training, U.S. nuking, U.S. carpet bombing, U.S. chemical weaponry, U.S. bioterrorism, U.S. psychological terrorism, U.S. ideological indoctrination and the dissemination of Nazi ideals, of Salafist ideals, of even “communist ideals” so long as they contradict the transitional state of unipolarity unto multipolarity or defend against a challenge to capitalist hegemony.
Millions of consciousnesses blinked from existence just to satiate the greed of geriatric ghouls who have nothing better to do with their time than destroy the world and take as many of us with them as possible along the way. Forgive me for being angry.
Regarding my own equivocations between Amerika and the Nazi regime - in fact my expression that Amerikan empire is 100x worse than the Nazis ever hoped to be - I will add that fascism is of course capitalism in decay. Fascism is nothing more than the shameful vestigial twin of liberalism and Western ‘social democracy’, and that’s quite the existence granted that self-described “liberal” groups have historically done far more to harm humankind than self-avowed “fascists” ever could.
As the 4th comes up, I at the very least will be grinding my teeth. To many in the global south, our flag means death. Our flag is indistinguishable from the flag of the Reich, excepting our flag has overseen far more nigh unspeakable horrors in living memory. But because the globalized world is being assimilated into learning English and not German, because the Nazis retain an otherness not yet found in civilized liberal society, Amerikan imperialists and those who hold water for them act like absolutely nothing is fucking wrong with this perverse display of bloody nationalism.
I do not know what sort of language will crack apologists’ mind prisons. I now speak from my heart, and my heart says that comparing Amerika to Satan is incredibly unkind and unfair to Satan.
edit: I’d also like to make it clear that I am under no illusion that the world would be any better under Nazi hegemony, probably far worse. The material reality of the situation, however, is that the Reich served Amerikan interests for much of its existence, and it is only due to the bravery and courage of the soldiers and citizens of the USSR that we do not live under worldwide Nazi occupation.
The U.S. and its pawns then went on to totally destroy the USSR, bastion against international fascism that it was. Unlike the inherently unsustainable war of extermination tactic of the Nazis, Amerika bled the USSR dry over decades before dealing the death blow by the most cowardly means possible. The USSR saved the world from Nazi rule, and the transatlantic empire could never forgive them for it.
I see you and Aru’s points, to some extent.
