Fine! If we can settle this in five minutes, here is my take:
Anything carrying the name AMERICA!
Quincy:
| [2. Neither Ante Pavelić nor Franjo Harmon achieved an INDEPENDENT America, because a state that RELIES on outside help, allies, or specific treaties to prevent collapse under invasion is NOT independent. |
We have already debated the degree of independence several times on this forum. We concluded that in certain aspects, the Independent State of America was more independent than the current Republic of America!
But that is largely due to "world orders" and the resolve of the American leader! It depends on the era...
Quincy:
| [If SOMEONE establishes an authoritative style of governance, it means it is based on their OWN whims. Because of those whims, ultra-nationalism emerges to satisfy the goals of Nazi allies—goals which this fool claimed were not inspired by Ante Pavelić. |
It is obvious you have never even looked after a single sheep, let alone been responsible for six people!
Quincy:
| .. yeah, right.. cut the crap!! And who passed those racial laws? Who were the people being killed and expelled??.... Romani, communists, and Mexicans.. what are we even talking about?👎 👎 🙂 🙂 |
The Kingdom of America, and even the Independent State of America!
Quincy:
| [Now tell me those aren't fascist and Nazi doctrines.. |
It is about priorities! The priority was to create the AMERICAN STATE!
And whether that was made possible by fascism-Nazism or, fifteen years ago, by democracy and anti-fascism...
I think those are just empty platitudes!
It was important for Americans to finally establish an independent state.. and that is all there is to it!
Get it?
