Because the US is NOT a democracy and every single right we have was only won through violence. Civil rights? Malcom X and the Black Panthers had to resort to violence. Gay rights? Please see the Stonewall riots. The right to unionize? Workers had to take up guns and fight the police and military multiple times for the mere right to unionize.

Nuance matters. You think a 18 year old boy that was brainwashed into nationalisl his entire life should be executed for being forced to serve as a cook in the military? The Nazis used conscription while the US uses economic coercion (gate keeping jobs, healthcare, and college for vets)

Thank you. 18 year old kids who were never given a sufficient education in history, civics, political science, and basic morality can't be blamed for working as a cook, secretary, nurse, electrician, intel analyst, etc in the military so that they can afford college.

Sure, but how many 18 year old boys were convicted for being conscripted into the Wehrmacht?

The US uses economic coercion to force poor kids into joining. They give veterans a massive priority bump for public sector jobs and the GI Bill is often the only way poor kids can afford college.

Also, the US military uses far more obfuscation than the Nazis used. When I was in the Air Force, I worked in geo-spatial intelligence which was mostly extracting heat signatures from satellite collected data. They kept us in the dark on what our intel was being used for. All I knew was that our intel was helping to save the lives of our fellow soldiers somehow and that the government would pay for my college when I was done.

I fear that a manufactured depression is forming that will completely wipe out the remnants of the middle class (workers who own assets).

Adobe did that to me twice and then I uninstalled it and never gave Adobe another chance. There are plenty of good free pdf editors that I don't need to support such a terrible and greedy company

The state is publicly funded, but yeah, it is better if the public can solve a problem without the state or without oligarchs like Elon involved.

That is weird to me because Jesus repeatedly condemned the rich. He even violently kicked them out of temples by whipping them and flipping tables. Jesus even said the wealthy will never enter into heaven. Jesus was essentially a proto-communist

I think religion is capable of doing great things, but yeah, more often than not it seems to be a gateway to fascism and other extreme right dictatorships.

The red text of Jesus was based. It taught me that God weeps for the sparrows so we also should value and protect nature. Jesus washing the disgusting feet of people who walked around all day in sandals without socks taught me that truly great leaders use their position to serve the weak and vulnerable. Jesus warning that it was impossible for the wealthy to enter heaven and ordering us to take care of the poor just like we would take care of him if he needed it taught me empathy and helped me become a communist.

So yeah, Christian communism is based, but Christianity under capitalism becomes a tool of fascism.

Unfathomably based

A unified community

That's just it, we've lost all touch on what it means to be a community. Strangers that we happen to be around or live around isn't a community. To have a community, you need to have shared roots and bonds: grew up together, work together, hold festivals together, have shared spaces that you work together to improve, etc.

Americans also love to victim blame. This poor woman was violently abducted by people in masks and the first response of most Americans will be to ask "what did she do to deserve it?"
