It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

Isn't it basically the same?
If we’re being honest with ourselves, with the collapse of the USSR, Germany should’ve ceased being a nationstate and instead shattered into a serious of city states and protectorates. Now the Euros have a economic nightmare/ juggernaut on their hands that will overtake them politically and eventually develop a military just as nasty as what they’ve tranditionally had. Germany is the ultimate threat to world peace.
Sure I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is Im not. I honestly feel that America is the best country and all other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.
I hvae always wanted to ask whether the German nation is a thing. In my historical video games, "Germany", is Bavaria, Cologne, Brandenburg, Saxony and dozens of other independent nations. I remember reading when Trump's grandfather was being deported to America, he wrote a letter to the prince of Bavaria asking to be allowed to stay. I think it was part of Germany at the time. Maybe Bavaria had an independent immigration policy?
I wonder how much Germans feel Germany is a single nation, rather than a federation of distinct nations. Maybe what these EU federalists want is to turn Europe into Germany. I always say that the EU is just the newest iteration of the HRE.

Stay on topic please.
