That's one of the few silver linings of fascism, it always ends. It's inherently unstable.
But it'll kill me first so I'd really prefer to just stop it now by any means necessary, including the things I'm not allowed to say
It's never had modern resources before
Neither did the people fighting fascism.
Unfortunately there's not really a good historical example of fascism being stopped once they have the power of the pulpit without the help of foreign intervention.
Good news is that there’s Putin, who fight in the Ukraine against their fascist regime, I’m sure he would love to annex US too. /s
Sad that the /s is absolutely required now a days .
I've heard that before but I only have an american public education. If I actually looked for historical examples, I wonder what I would find?
The entirety of ww2, Spain transitioned out of fascism relatively peacefully too
Stroessner in Paraguay
I mean, it's a bit difficult to look for historical examples of something not happening. However the opposite is fairly easy, off the top of my head the most well known examples of fascist governments being brought down are the Nazi, Vichy France, imperial Japan, and Mussolini's Italy.
Nuclear weapons have the same silver lining! What a coincidence!
