Perhaps you could also put "Don't equate Nazis with the people they genocided" in there. I will not apologize nor will I stop attacking abhorrent people like this. It says a lot that my post is your priority and not the rest

Pathetic. Their neo Nazi activity is my business because it’s infecting my community, it’s beating members of my community up and leaving them dying in the street. It’s making my community unsafe for people who have done nothing wrong. This

The US existed, and was prosperous, before the Second World War. How the US economy functions in the postwar period really has no relevance to how it got to the position it was in before that. I do hope you’re not suggesting that a single p

It would be quicker to just look at the US, where protectionism has resulted in it becoming an economic superpower. But that obviously wouldn’t meld with your free trade boner very easily
