      Only this time, the countries falling to fascism generally have nukes, so now there’s ultimately no way to stop them.

      And people don’t want to listen and reject them en masse.

      So evil is winning.

        Yeah, people forget this anytime someone says “put them on trial for warcrimes!”

        Like, if they were ever in a situation where they could be tried for warcrimes, boom goes the dynamite.

          Honestly, I say bring it. I’m just waiting for the order to set Condition 1SQ. I’ll do it, too. Maybe after we do a hard reset, we can do it differently, or let another species take over.

            Brave talk. You’ll be shitting your pants like the rest of us. But if it makes you feel better to pretend like this, then go right ahead.

              Yes my biological instinct to survive will jump straight to the front of the line when it happens.

              But it doesn’t change my mindset on this species needs to go. Just because that involves me changes nothing.

          Russia has been assassinating several a year for years, the Israelis and Saudis both have been killing journalists, and India is currently in trouble with NA for assasinating a Canadian and plotting assassination of an American.

          Assassinations are very much happening

            It was 4 or 5 assassinations planned in the US by India. They successfully assassinated a Sikh separatist in Canada, and they had others planned as well.
