Years ago I went to a farm auction. At one point the old farmer got up on a hay wagon where the auctioneer had two German sniper rifles. The old farmer addressed the crowd and proudly declared "I personally took care of these two nazi sons of bitches". I think about that a lot these days.
"It's going to be the largest contested amphibious landing in history. But that sounds too easy, so we won't use the military branch that specializes in this exact task."
The US Marine Corps would usually consider a contested amphibious operation to be directly within their wheelhouse but did not directly participate in the D-Day Landings. Some may say they were otherwise engaged in Island hopping operations in the Pacific theater, but the theory persists that they thought European crayons taste funny.
Omaha is also where the heaviest casualties were, due in large part to their lack of armor support, and rough seas pushing landing craft off course, which makes it more noteworthy in the history books. "Everything went according to plan and they won" is a lot less interesting to write and learn about than "Everything went wrong but they still won"
People forget it. I'm a pacifist but Rangers are what I would've gone into, hypothetically, if I were to go into it. They've got a whole handbook that's really interesting. Rules like never come back into camp the same way, in case ambushes happen. Common sense stuff
My grandpas older brother died on Okinawa. Same battle my hero Desmond Doss did a full pacifist run... no seriously I'm a pacifist and I always point to that guy cuz first its a famous conscientious objector and second people know the movie Hacksaw Ridge. You do not have to be the guy with the gun to make a difference
US troops died so a moronic orange paedophile could be granted the ability to destroy the Statue of Liberty, at least according to his Department of ''Justice''. Life is utterly absurd.

So, basically they're trying to say "if we start doing what we want before anyone can stop us, then they're no longer allowed to stop us"? Actual toddler logic.
So if it is deemed not to be legal by the courts, then he could be impeached and removed from office based on “high crimes or misdemeanors” then, right? If congress held to their oaths…
Basically, they are weaponizing the Red Tape of bureaucracy to do whatever they want by ignoring the rules and just DOING it, while using every legal trick in the book to stall the people trying to stop them who want to do so by following the rules.
The legal system simply does not have mechanics to stop them quickly enough when they just bulldoze past all the rules and ignore them. Every legal avenue to stop them takes time. Meanwhile, they are using that time to just... go on and do stuff.
The legal system and Congress both absolutely have the power to stop this shit at any stage of development, they simply are not doing it. If Congresspeople had knocked down the doors of the government buildings DOGE took over in Feb '25 they would not have been stopped in any meaningful way because they have more right to access those buildings than Musk did. They stood around out front and talked to the press instead because they are complicit but they want to be re-elected.
Anti-fascism is a political movement that started in the 1920s, you absolute melon. Like, Mussolini -literally- had a secret police force for suppressing anti-fascist ideologues. You'll never guess what it was called. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OVRA
Forget "don't read squiggly", you don't read basic English. Or history. The fight against the Axis powers was framed with anti-fascist language the same way the Cold War was framed with anti-communist language. This isn't "rEtCoNnInG" shit.
What in the world are you talking about? The men who landed on D-Day were anti-fascist soldiers. They knew well how fascist the Nazis were and were eager to destroy not only their military but also their vile political system
Fighting a facist regime does not make you anti-facist. You can easily be a facist fighting other facist or whatever other type of political view you want to insert there. Considering how populair the facists were in the US and other nations around, calling them all antifa is basically just whitewashing.
The propaganda at the time specifically pointed out that the war was against fascism. Many of those young men would have seen signs, books, news papers, movies, etc, declaring that it was a fight against fascist forces.
You're acting like they existed in an information bubble and had no idea why they were there or what they were fighting against, and that's just not at all accurate. Not only was the entire world collectively talking about Hitler and what he was up to, the American government produced anti-fascist films to educate the soldiers as to what they were fighting against.
I am not saying that, but that does not mean they were all antifa just because they were fighting a facist regime. There were plenty of American troops that had pretty similar beliefs around black people and jews as the Germans had at the time. Eugenics was popular everywhere in the west, only just on the way out when WW2 had already started in the US, to name something.
It's is possible to be educated as to why fascism is evil without yet being educated as to why racism is also evil. They were soldiers specifically intended to destroy a fascist regime, they were anti-fascist soldiers.
Not amplifying, documenting and exposing them for what they are. They delete all their comments after about 24 hours to cover their tracks and evade getting banned.
This is proof they can’t control, and can’t hide from. And since they delete their hate to avoid the mods, we have to take it into our own hands.
But their primary goal is to disseminate their words. Deleting them hides their words. By reposting them, you disseminate their words and they stay up for others to read without them being downvoted or removed.
A racist militaristic empire fighting a worse racist militaristic empire because the latter declared war against the former doesn't exactly scream antifascism to me.
If you're looking for actual American antifascists, I recommend the Lincoln Battalion from the Spanish Civil War.
Around 3000 men, mostly Americans, virtually all communists, volunteered to fight for the republic against Franco. It was the first time that Americans of different races fought in integrated units, many years before they would under their own flag.
Many black americans viewed it as a struggle against the exploitation of africans, as the nationalist Spanish forces of Franco were heavily dependent on poor colonial african troops pressed into service out of 1/
Desperation. There was also the element of Franco recieving support from Benito Mussolini, who had just recently invaded Ethiopia. The deposed emperor Hale Selasie had become a bit of a cult hero among early afro Caribbean and African American identity movements.
Also worth noting that an estimated 1/3rd of the volunteers were Jewish, highlighting once again the depths to which the global Jewish community has sunk from its lofty days of playing a leading role against the tyranny of fascism. 2/
The battalion comprised 3 brigades, one named for Lincoln, one for Washington and a heavy weapons/artillery brigade named for John Brown.
During the course of the war they lost almost a third of their number, around 700 confirmed dead but many more missing and presumed executed by the nationalists because thats what Francos side did to the international troops.
Eventually the remains of the battalion were evacuated from Barcelona along with all the other international brigades after the 3/
Gee, I'm sorry history doesn't fit your preferred narratives. Antifa all the way, the US was never antifa. Am glad shitting on the US has become popular but it honestly took way too long, but cant hold it against people really with how much cold war propaganda has existed.
Winning =/= being the good guys. The US has been the lesser of two evils in geopolitics. If you're trying to insinuate that I think nazi germany should've won then you really need to get out your little information bubble and learn what nuance and differing views are.
America only joined the war after Japan fucked up Pearl Harbour. They weren't antifascist they were angry and vengeful. Hence having to "win" with nuclear weapons.
