Fascism is a siren song for the simpleminded. Back then, we were fighting foreign fascist powers that dared to attack us, so it was easy to oppose. Most of the people who remember that are dead though, and new generations of simpletons have taken their place.

Watch the video. They were absolutely trying to defend themselves against “American Americans” who blamed everything on the “Negro” and immigrants. I mean, the video 100% talks about what’s going on right now.

  I watched it a couple days ago, it resonated with me particularly strongly. The contemporary casual domestic intolerance you’re talking about is why it was easier with a foreign fascist to speak out against.
