When in the fucking history of the USA has this shithole fought against fascism?

WW2, but it was a side objective, kind of a bonus

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Operation Paperclip (and any other shit from OSS), Servia, Laos, NATO, Chinese Revolution, you can choose. If youd like a suggestion on where to start, theres a pretty good channel on yt called Eyes Wide Open, great resource with many checkable sources of information

Oh we're in agreement, but what I meant is that, as much as it pained them, they happened to have fought other fascists also, but it wasn't the reason they fought, obviously.

USA didn't fight against fascism when it fought against Nazi Germany and literally fascist Italy because Laos and NATO

Fighting nazis is not the same as fighting nazism. But you are clearly unable to tell the difference

Yeah it's not like fascism was the literal state ideology of fascist Italy or anything lmao. Or Nazism of Nazi-Germany. Lol.

US continued to do business with the nazis well into the war, IBM is famously responsible for facilitating the holocaust. And of course, once the war ended the US promptly started internationalizing fascism as bulwark against communism https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/10/16/the-u-s-did-not-defeat-fascism-in-wwii-it-discretely-internationalized-it/
