And the reason I say that is because Hitler and the Nazis hid their true agenda from the public until they had control. But what I'm seeing at the moment is that GOP candidates are unashamed to be extremist conservatives, with awful and extreme hateful polices. It will make USA easily the most oppressive western government in current times, if it isn't already.
Now we know what the problem is let's talk about the solution. The solution, according to USA when this happens in other places, is that you go in and overthrow the democratically elected government by force. Well first you say that you don't recognise the authority of the current government, and that gives you justification to go in and overthrow it because it's run amuk. This is similar to the sins of colonialism only more extreme.
The USA has set the precedent that they believe it's OK to overthrow democratically elected governments such as Guatemala in 1954 if it serves their own purposes. But this plan of theirs never, ever has a happy ending for the sovereign State they've overthrown. It pushes the State into depression, it stunts their economic growth, it destroys employment, etc.
Meaningful change must come from within. The USA's repeated destabilisation activities undertaken in the Middle East have facilitated the creation, rise, and expansion of Al Qaeda, DAESH, and other militant rebel groups in the area. It's funny actually to then see them blame Islam for a problem that they are wholly responsible for creating. The point is that after more than a century of this shit we know what to expect.
Personally, I'd like to see the USA overthrown by military force. It would be terrible for their State, but it would be a much needed reprieve for others facing oppression under the constant threat of military action from USA. It would finally give those countries the chance to grow from within, a chance they don't have at present.
There you go again, Aractus Erectus, the Rush Limbaugh of Asstralia! You are by far that one's ethical counterpart.
I'm all for your Julian Assenge in revealing dirty secrets of a our government killing civilians - in any world military power, there's sure to be corruption, would if only Australia was in that position. But you are no better than any American asshole on FauxNews (and this may surprise you but we don't all watch that shit) when you equate idiots who face a democratic showdown in November which they really have no hope of winning with the speeches of Adolf Hitler, given with military troups under his control marching around Berlin. Not only are they in no way nearly as powerful, they haven't really said anything half as offensive - oh, and we can still count on our press to report that sort of shit when they say something particularly juicy.
