    This applies to Americans in general. I think for the past couple of years most Americans have been waking up to the fact that we have been the "bad guy" in every conflict we've been in since WWII.

      Not Americans in general.. only self-loathing Americans who all happen to be of the same political persuasian.

    calling fascism "unpopular" in the US is a bit curious though

        How many unmarried fascists can you name?

        Also the stereotypical parental structure is pretty fascist.

          > the stereotypical parental structure is pretty fascist.

          "the stereotypical parental structure" precedes fascism by a long stretch. And so do forks and spoons, stereotypically used by fascists.

          Mixing various side agendas is greatly detrimental to understanding and countering political nationalism, in fact, it helps its proponents.

      I mean, the likely democratic senate nominee literally has a nazi tattoo. Fascism still has its fans.

    Not just Palantir, I hope. All tech workers should start thinking real hard if their company's caps have skulls on them.
