    There should have been no organized uprising against Nazi Germany either, because you had to draft others against their will, in order to defend you. So none of us should be here.

      Yep, collectivism for fascists, rugged individualism for those who seek to root them out.

      Pairs nicely with all of the following American sentiments:

      • fuck you, I’ve got mine

      • pull the ladder up behind yourself

      • pull yourself up by your bootstraps

      • socialize the losses, privatize the profits

      • caveat emptor (let the buyer beware)

      • communism for the rich, laissez-faire, starvation capitalism for the poor

      • if you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?

      and on and on

        If innocent people where not suffering from this, I would be straight up fine with the people who started this, voting in a leader that would send them to death camps.
