ala WW2
liberal authoritarians
you couldnt make it up really
We were the authoritarians in WW2 as well <:think:604636148970553344>
Liberal democracies with capitalism lost the end game with Soviet subversion
If only you knew how bad it was out there
Through the suspension of the liberal protections you hold so dear.
The most authoritarian we got was Rations
"The effect of 18B was to suspend the right of affected individuals to habeas corpus. "
<:think:604636148970553344>
" It allowed the internment of people suspected of being Nazi sympathisers."
<:ThinkSmirk:567949550493368320>
"suspected"
Lets go under your assumption
Because it makes it easier to beat it
Why did it collpase afterwards
why wasnt it taken forward
Oh shit when a country enters the biggest war man kind has ever seen some governments decide to take massive steps to protect itself
Plus after the war it became democratic again

"A person subject to 18B would be arrested without warning."
Why did german start doing well again?
Sometimes drastic steps were taking during the biggest war ever?
didnt do so well under authoritarianism
Holy shit really m8?
You mean when America was subsidising the reconstruction of all of Europe?
And then the formation of the coal and steel union?
<:think:604636148970553344>
Mainly to stop the Soviets.
So europe was rebuilt at the behest of liberalism?
Got you
Who cares if America picked them up from their feet? We tried doing that with Africa and Iraq and they just fell down like autists again
Point it, liberalism turns to authoritarianism when it fails
Europe was rebuilt to defeat authoritarianism.
As historically it has
And as it has now
At least Europe was able to keep standing
People in here understand how bad America is at most things.
