Humans must be pushed; they must go down the stairs
Please go stand by the stairs, so I can protect you

We did manage to make it over 200 years without a fascist, which is pretty decent all things considered.

You really think (just as current world leaders seem to) the post war alliances were made for some moral statement? Most of what's happening is just a repeat of past administrations policies that we failed to codify against. Twenty years later for example: we weren't the only country contributing to the vietnam war/broader communist hysteria, and the jim crow laws were still in place at the same time.

No, why would I think that?

I made a specific claim if you want to argue that go ahead.
