I feel like The Business Plot would be a better point of historical comparison to todays events. You should go do a course in comparative history if you think introducing comparisons is anything new.

Also, try to pay for the course in company scrip if you can get away with it.

    Kind of a weird response to me pointing out that what's happening today is in no way out of the ordinary for the burger reich. There's no need for a fascist take over plot because burdgerland is already the heart of global fascism.

    All I have done is respond in kind, suggesting you are not aware of things (comparative history), just as you suggested I wasn't aware of robber barons. We both know that fascism and capitalism are deeply linked. That you found my description of it superfluous is not a constructive way to start a conversation, and was at best going to find an odd response.

    I mean if you were aware of these things then it's not clear why you wrote your original comments which are nonsensical. If you understand that there is nothing new happening here and that the US has always been a fascist state, then braying about billionaires ruining your democracy is really weird. Seems like you have some cognitive dissonance to work through there.
