College Football Hall of Fame

Oh lord, here we go again with a triggered MAGA snowflake.

"Readers should be advised". What a joke. Yeah, I took the definition from Wikipedia, and if you don't like it, you can go edit it. I gave people something short and simple to read, unless you want the textbook definition from a Political Science textbook.

"Whether you trust the site is up to you." WAAAAAH. Yeah, we know that right-wing historians and political academics "disagree with the characterization" of fascism as far-right. Of course they do.

Fascism is not, nor has it ever been, a "socialist system".

The word "fascism" comes from the Latin word "fasces" referring to the bound bundle of rods with an axe blade (look on the back of a US dime for a picture), which symbolized power in Rome.

The Italians invented Fascism. In the 1920s, the Italian Fascists described their ideology as right-wing in the political program The Doctrine of Fascism, stating: "We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right,' a fascist century".

And, sure, you are going to try to equate "National Socialism" (Nazism) with fascism, but there are a few differences. Not the least of which is that Hitler tossed in the word "Socialism" to appeal to the masses (which you actually agree with), even though what he did in Germany had very little to do with Socialism and had nearly everything to do with Nationalism and Fascism. Hitler wasn't telling people to make toasters on Monday, he was building weapons and gas chambers all day every day.

And you clearly have no idea what the word "regulation" means. It does not mean, nor has it ever meant, centralized production decisions.

The fact that you think this has something to do with being "tough" tells me all I need to know . . .

People tend to get bogged down in left-right definitions because the two party system lends itself to that.. I think this graph does it better. I'm somewhere between Gandhi and Friedman.

The college football hall of game didn’t have a lot of memorabilia in it. Most of it was digital screens. They had some stuff but not much.

Geriatric old man shadow boxes in front of the mirror while reciting Stalin qoutes in reference to the cfbhof. My heart goes out to him. Poor supplementation during his youth has sped up bis brain degeneration.....

Wondering if those screens were worth a nice compensation at the pawn shop. Breaking other people's property is alot of work for no payoff.

Touche sir, you know your history. Rome became too big to manage and made too many enemies. We don't go around butchering people in the sake of expansion then enslaving their people. They were fighting an invasion, from different armies, on multiple fronts. Not to mention Atilla collapsing their economy by making them pay him every time he took one of their cities. All empires fall or become something else. We will one day too. The fall of Rome set mankind back hundreds of years.

We have on huge strategic advantage though. All of the world's powers would have to travel a long distance to invade our lands. It's not like Rome where they were surrounded by their enemies. I'd say the republic is more at risk from within at this point.

Thank you and so do you. All true. We basically got rid of the Empire we took from Spain with just a couple strategic exceptions. Also, as up said we did not pillage and butcher for sport. Although our biggest body count did come during the only Ruler for Life we have had to date - FDR.

Right now we could use an alliance with the latest version of FDR's "Uncle Joe" to help with China. Yeap, I said it, we need to cozy up to Russia, who has more to fear from China than we do. All those tens of thousands of Russian tanks and planes on China's border plus 1.4 billion Indians on other side, balances the tables in a real fight with Red China. It is the best way to avoid war with them. As a child of the Cold War, Russia as ally is tough to see, but as lover of history, we about the only country they never fought in a real war.
