    At this point sarcasm does not work. It just makes them think you agree.

    Honestly, this is why when people say ‘do you need the /s tag, you baby?’ I’m like ‘Yes!’

    People are dense and say shit like that unironically. It was hard enough back when all we had to contend with was the normal amount of sarcasm not translating well to text. Now we also have to deal with emboldened idiots who think their fascism is okay.

    How the fuck are we supposed to tell the difference now?

    This. None of them caught the obvious Stormfront name, nor can they see that homelander and his fans are analogous to Trump and his supporters.

    I'm 100% sure they think Homelander represents out of control leftists.

    Well when the education system of the US essentially teaches:

    • Nazi bad because they hated Jews. That's it. Don't look at why they chose Jews as a target to scapegoat societies material problems. Don't look at how closely connected fascism is to the interests of capital. And definitely equate them with socialism because they had that word in their name. Ignore the fact they put Marxist in concentration camps first.

    And then teach:

    • Stalin bad because he was a "authoritarian" and purposely starved his people while eating all the wheat with a big spoon. This is all that socialism ever is. It's just when one guy has all the power. Don't look up what "Soviets" actually were. Definitely don't teach about the country that was most responsible for stopping and defeating the Nazis. It was all just our big bomb we dropped on a completely different country that was entirely needed and not an unnecessary show of force to the USSR.

    Its easy to manipulate "educated" people to working against their own interests.

    I would argue that the USSR is only the most responsible when looking at it through the loss of human life. It seems likely they would have never made it to Berlin without lend-lease. No one knows if the Germans could have regrouped and done better without the aid to the USSR, maybe the same number would have died, just in different locations. But, most of the USSR's ability to move material around was due to the allies supplying them with logistics vehicles, both trucks, and railroads/engines/RR cars.
