Words like Communism or Fascism seem to have little meaning to the average American, they're just political buzzwords.

I bet not even half the people using the term "fascism" have ever heard of Giovanni Gentile...

Most of them only understand WW2 through movie references.

Germany was like Thanos, with Hitler as it's Voldermort and it took Superman(US) and Luke Skywalker(UK) to beat him! And there was Japan I guess who were over there being unimportant kind of like Pippin in LoTR, and I think it wasn't much of a big chungus move when Superman did the two Kamehameha on Pippin who was busy being innocent and brown.

You are not exaggerating. Normie believe that Hitler was like Thanos in the sense that he had absolute power over everyone in Germany and a whole nation followed him blindly for no apparent reasons. Note how it is never explained why Thanos' warriors decide to follow him, what their motivations are, etc. They are just minions.

Adolf Hitler was the most influential man of the last millennia, but he was just a man. He could make people do things only through consent. No large organization, let alone a nation state, can depend and be ruled by only one individual.

That's part of why I've fully decided to adopt the comic villain image, fuck the optics I'm making my point and stating my most radical solutions right out of the gate. I am right, my arguments are sound, my solutions effective at least theoretically and I am a leader that the nihilistic brain rotted generations of today raised on memes would support the thinking of just to see the chaos unfold.

Literally my last suggestion on improving the situation in America was to kill off the most problematic half the population and I wasn't even going for the Thanos comparison. If this generation views great men like fictional characters then perhaps I can be perceived in a similar light if I play into that insane ambition and air of superiority they expect

Read Mein Kampf, it literally explains how the masses follow the image of strength and fanaticism, and are never convinced by well reasoned arguments.

This is why Hitler is such a power symbol.

If the Jews were smart, they would have never mentioned Hitler again after WWII and he would have fallen into obscurity like Wilhelm II.

Well, maybe Pippin shouldn't have shanked Lois Lane and raped Frodo in the ass before taking Bilbo and calling him a piece of wood before cutting off all his limbs and giving him a dynamite suppository.

Also, people just gloss over Luigi's involvement, even though they whinge about 'fascism', which he basically invented.

I constantly have to explain to the boomers I interact with what the political terms THEY use actually mean.
