1947 Anti-Fascist video is oddly relevant, 70 years later

Scarily accurate.

Google's apparently gotten good at removing/hiding things....all the comments seem to be making fun of comments that aren't visible unless you go looking.

Yeah I've seen this before. There is very little that's more American than antifascism.

All you needed was some MAGA hats in the crowd and it could've been today. And of course the speaker getting elected president at the end.

I've seen it before and found it telling ... and good for some political arguments.

Beware the demagogue who stokes anger and promotes division.

Obviously not proper spelling.

Oh no, I forgot an "s" in "antifascism". Well, I suppose I am opposed to Grammar Nazis as well as real ones. Speech should be intelligable, but nitpicking is just annoying.

Wait, I spelled "intelligible" with an "a" instead of an "i", oh no!

This nation's forefathers used spellcheck for a reason. To abandon such sensitivity is to lose our nation.

There's a difference between writing the nation's constitution and typing a post on some obscure Internet forum.

Granted, certain mistakes such as using the wrong your/you're, there/their/they're, and its/it's are so common that it becomes annoying, but "antifascism" is not one of them.

Should I have used the correct spelling the first time? Of course, I just wasn't paying any attention to it. But it's really not a big deal.

It's actually not really relevant at all today.  There is no major, or even small, fascist movement in America.  It was 2000 people in a country of 320 million.

Okay.
