Drag yourself to the local store that sells chairs etc.

What is comfortable for one person is torture for another. Somethings have to be purchased hands on.

After Watergate Americans learned that a free press could bring down a tyrannical government. So the Right got to work destroying the free press.

Reagan went after the Fairness Doctrine and made it easier for one company to own all the TV and radio stations in a town. The new tech helped destroy the local newspapers.

How did one so young gain such wisdom?

I have no idea why someone down voted something that obvious.

Like I said, very brief...

All of you have the same misunderstanding.

"Opaque" is not a color, but you can have a color that is opaque.

A white canvas sheet will stop light from going through; it's opaque white.

LBJ thought he could win Vietnam with a single bold stroke. Nixon knew the War was unwinnable, but once the US forces were bogged down he kept redoubling down. LBJ made a terrible mistake, but it was Nixon who really screwed things up.

So, your evidence is your interpretation of what was a common expression for hundreds of years.

If I bothered to, I'm sure I could find plenty of Left organizations that used exactly the same phrase.

Also, Heinlein wrote "...All You Zombies" about a transman; he had an African woman as a major character in "Tunnel In The Sky"; he predicted a religious dictatorship ruling America in "Revolt In 2100."

And condemning people for a single word or phrase IS directly from the Fascist playbook.

He said that he thought his DI did a good job of teaching him to be a responsible adult.

Look up 'The Bonus Army.' Those guys were all military veterans. They were also some of the most radical people in US history. When they came to Washington they tried to keep discipline like they'd been taught.

If forcing young people to act responsibly is 'fascist,' then every coach, teacher, and sensei is a fascist.

Every time I hear someone online talk about wanting a war, I ask them how many bullets they have personally caught.

Before WW1 many folks thought that a war might be a good thing, because it would help things settle down.

So, you have no evidence that he was a Fascist. You have an opinion.

It's very important that you learn that you having an opinion about a fact doesn't change the fact.

What happens with those?

What happens when the crews stop getting paid? You think they are just going to walk away? You think those weapons will just disappear?

What makes you think the next boss is going to be any better?
