I was referring to the lead up to WWII with my facetiousness, specifically the policy of appeasement.
While I fear I may be missing the point of the comments, are there any good fascists?

Take for instance, "America is NUMBER ONE!"
what does that REALLY mean? the implicit statement, is that America has all the best things in abundance, and all that translates into the greatest power to exert that kind of extortion internationally.
It is not, however, the only one. If a country requires something on an international market that another country is not willing to provide economically, they will probably look elsewhere.

Donald Trump said people should take the pandemic seriously and wear a mask and social distance and wash their hands
Only took him half a year, 4m cases and almost 150k deaths.

They also don’t have anywhere near as much physicality as they did (boxes, discs/cartridges, instruction manuals etc.) so that aspect is a bit cheaper.

I’ve used this elsewhere.
The common part of my handle is the 13 suffix though, and maybe not using a capital for the first letter.

It's so far into conspiracy theory territory, I don't know what even; but still interesting to read, if just to scratch my head and go "Is that what they really perceive?"
There’s a lot in there that made me audibly exclaim.
Highlights for me: the glossing over of fossil fuel subsidies when mentioning the MARXIST HORROR of renewable energy subsidies.
Suggesting that inheritance is wealth gained on merit.
Mentioning Nixon as an apparent conservative icon, despite his criminal activities in office.
Suggesting Trump is the only president to encourage the opposition party to cock block him at every opportunity, ignoring what the Republicans did to Obama.
There were otheres, but it’s early and I really don’t want to read it again.
