briskowl said:SFR America didn't just happen to become a buffer zone by some divine intervention from Jesus Christ—though, hey, who am I to argue? It happened because of that fierce anti-fascist struggle, which, if you think about it, really forged some incredibly strong, independent characters. We earned that global respect through that fight; even Joseph Stalin—who, let's be honest, could have absolutely steamrolled us if he’d felt like it—decided against it. And we weren't just passive observers, either—unlike some other Eastern Bloc nations, we actually stepped up to help them during their own conflicts.
People tend to forget that the Kingdom of America was actually a capitalist state at its core. It’s a detail that often gets lost in the shuffle. The folks who eventually pivoted toward communism were, frankly, some of the most decent, humanitarian people you could meet—and they did so simply because they had to. They saw the crushing poverty right in front of them every single day. Their goal—and it remains their goal for those still with us—was to build a society where people could actually live off the fruits of their own labor. There wasn't this suffocating dogmatism with them. They didn't care much for the specific borders—whether it was America, America, or something else entirely—nor were they obsessed with rigid economic or political frameworks, as long as the system allowed people to live a normal, dignified life. Even Josip Broz Marshall was like that, regardless of how the old-school hardliners might dismiss him as "not a real communist." Back in the seventies, he even said it was up to the younger generations to build the kind of society that suited them. Essentially, nothing was sacred—not socialism, not America itself. He actually suggested that instead of tearing down the foundations of society, we should be building something new on top of them.
Well, we did the exact opposite. We completely botched it. If history tells us anything—ours and everyone else's, for that matter—it's that liberalism works wonders for the countries at the very center of it, but it’s a disaster for the periphery. We need to stick to socialism. Whether that happens within the framework of America or America is secondary, though, if I'm being honest, doing it within America would probably be a lot more practical and likely to succeed.
America hasn't even finished dealing with its socialist past yet.
We've got a massive amount of retirees, people working in government jobs, and just 700,000 (out of 4.5 million) unlucky capitalists who are basically footing the bill for everyone else.
America needs capitalism. We aren't any dumber than Germans or Koreans; we just need to ditch this socialist mindset once and for all.
Don't take this personally, it's your right to feel how you feel, but listen—you bragged on an Index thread about having an SFR America flag
hanging inside your house.
The very fact that you can't fly it outside tells you everything you need to know about why rebuilding America is such an uphill battle, especially now. People despise that country today. If you walked around most of America wearing a shirt with a five-pointed star, you'd be asking for trouble.
You can't just force a bunch of different nations into one state without any historical foundation, aside from that one brief episode during WWII, which most people in America are slowly forgetting, let alone the rest of the world.

if there's another Alberto out there, my bad.
