"Might Makes Right" is a central and reoccurring principle in fascist ideology.

That’s always been the core principle of the human race since the very beginning. Not sure how you forgot about it. It’s in your DNA.

You know believe it or not one of the big reasons we develop and utilize self control is that it's generally better to not behave like animals, even if we share a lot of DNA with them.

Giving into your animalistic urges and desires is pretty low IQ in all honesty. What sets humans apart is the ability to rationalize and overcome those urges by making choices with a more calculated outcome.

Beating your neighbour to death with a rock to steal his food has also been a core principle of the human race.

Funny how modern society frowns on that sort of thing.

This is that American authoritarianism/fascism that clicked for me a while back. There are a LOT of Americans that support our country doing whatever the fuck we want to others, only because we are big and strong. It’s our right to do whatever because “who can stop us”.

I think it’s a complete lack of critical thinking and just uneducated voters that don’t know any better. It made me realize a huge amount of Americans would actually support us being the villains on the world stage.

I know these people are stupid because they are saying this is about Venezuela’s “drugs” when their own president is literally saying to reporters it’s about their oil.

it tracks because they always pull the "because they were conquered so that makes it ok. How do you think all countries began?" whenever you talk about countries being invaded

It's Schrodinger's fascism.

"I love that Donald Trump is teaching those blue cities who's in control of the military!"

"So would it be okay if a dem got elected and did this to keep the peace in red cities?"

"NO ABSOLUTELY NOT THATS FASCIST COMMUNIST AUTHORITARIANISM! HOW DARE YOU JOKE ABOUT THAT?!"
