Also seen plenty centrist democrats blame protest voters as if that had more of an effect than the democrats bending over for republicans.

It's the definitian of the Hobbesean "right", that human nature is monstrous, beastly and war-like, and that we need to rely on a "better few" to monopolize violence to keep everyone in order. They don't believe that people are capable of self-governance because they don't do it themselves. The Rousseau "left" believe that we're egalitarian by nature, and that we're innately good in small populations but have naturally strayed from our egalitarian origins because of civilization. Anarchists understand that both of these are incorrect.

Oh hell yeah emission free public transport? That's what the future should look like (as well as cities becoming edible rainforests and use bioengineering to grow buildings)

Also never pour a bottle of Coca Cola on the hood of their car, or anywhere with car paint. If it goes unnoticed it'll start chipping away the paint, especially if you do it right before it snows.

The purpose of doing a Nazi salute so publicly, in the context of "saving civilization," does the purpose of a dog whistle but with the subtlety of an air horn. It's to send out acknowledgment to Nazis, a gesture of solidarity, that he's on their side and wants their support/approval. You would think this would be sabotaging the system if Naziism was in fact against their ideals and was bad optics. Nowadays the only excuse they need to be a Nazi is to "trigger the libs" so you'd be safe to say that nothing will come of this, people will shake their heads and wag their fingers but will still do business with him because money. So he's cashing in, he knows probably better than anyone that the Nazis have, in fact, successfully taken over the American government. Well done, Americans.

WW2 was between Russians and Germans. All the other stuff was barely a side character subplot compared to the Eastern front.

For example, in the Western front the German forces dealt more casualities to US and UK troops than the Allies did to the Axis by quite a lot too. Reading stories and diaries of American troops they would remark how astonishing it is that their German POWs were all either very young, or very old, either way remarkably unfit for combat. German command in the Western front was in shambles, because the vast majority of their efforts were going to the Eastern front. More Germans died in the battle of Stalingrad alone than in the entirety of the Western front. There were sieges in the Baltics that made Omaha Beach seem like a pretty lucky bet. The Belarusian grassroots genocide by Germans is hardly talked about, yet were just as brutal as they were against jews. The Siege of Leningrad is the type of nightmare fuel, hell on earth that Spielberg would never dream of touching. The West puts so much self importance about their fight against the German Nazi Machine, meanwhile it was the communists who did all the work while Western capitalists profited every step of the way since the beginning. And as you pointed out, America had and still has a strong Nazi following, also curiously backed by billionaires.

Now the collective West is the new Nazi party, and like it or not it's up to Russia and China to stop them again.

EDIT - Just wanted to point out that a lot of the horrors of the Eastern front is equally blamed on Stalin too, Baltic people hate Germany and Russia the same for WW2. Every side of WW2 sucked horrendous ass, and nobody won in WW2 (except for capitalists)
