    This was a call for anti-fascism.

    … By way of national pride, forgetting the US’s “troubled” past. Trying to counter fascism with patriotism is a dangerous game.

    Everyone here already knows about America’s troubled history. You’re preaching to the choir.

    The responses seem too differ.

    You’re awfully glib about a looming civil war.

    Sure, the person disliking patriotism will be an “honorary fascist”. /s 🙄

      forgetting the US’s “troubled” past

      The Confederacy is right there. In the meme.

      Are you even trying?

        Like the confederacy was the only time the US was white supremacist. Ever heard of Nixon and how his war on drugs was just a strategy to criminalize black people (and leftists)?

          I’m sorry the meme doesn’t acknowledge every crime of the USA in the space of one photo and three sentences?

            You could have just not posted revisionist crap?

              “Revisionism is when you point out that Nazis and Confederates were rejected by America in two brutal wars, and the more you point that out, the more revisionist it is”

                That strawman device doesn’t get better with reuse, you know.

                Revisionism is when you claim that white supremacy isn’t baked into the DNA of the USA.

            I think you neither know what the true scotsman fallacy, nor fascism is.

              Cool. I don’t care what you think, as you have been spouting absolutism all over the thread, and as Samuel Clemmons once said, opened your mouth and removed all doubt.
