    There was a time when Americans fought Nazis. Maybe Americans need to do that again, instead of watching this play out.

      Well, the first time they spent years watching the Nazis play out and profiting from the war by selling munitions and equipment to both sides before actually joining it. I’m not sure Japan is in the same place to get them moving into fight mode … maybe North Korea, Russia or China though? The same kinda sanctions are in place.

        And then afterwards they took the most lucrative and talented Nazis to the USA where they could work for the government and industry. I guess the anti-Nazi stance of the USA has always been relatively weak except in that one moment when they were forced to oppose it.

      Well the thing about that second amendment, it was just to make sure no one was disarmed. You can’t just go shoot Trump or Musk, you’ll end up dead, or executed, or 20 years in solitary hell then executed. Everyone has to wait until it’s so bad that consensus is reached on killing all the motherfuckers. This is why constitutions not written by intellectualish rebels, never have arms rights.
