This applies to Americans in general. I think for the past couple of years most Americans have been waking up to the fact that we have been the "bad guy" in every conflict we've been in since WWII.

Most conflict since WW2 have been against dictators or commie regimes with horrible human rights records. It's debatable whether America attacking helped anything but opponents like Saddam or Khamenei generally weren't great either.

Not Americans in general.. only self-loathing Americans who all happen to be of the same political persuasian.

self loathing is when you don't like your country spreading terror and destruction abroad

Not just Palantir, I hope. All tech workers should start thinking real hard if their company's caps have skulls on them.

calling fascism "unpopular" in the US is a bit curious though

I heard it's unpopular with the ladies

How many unmarried fascists can you name?
Also the stereotypical parental structure is pretty fascist.

Just look at the top 2 most powerful men in the United States right now and how much their wives love them. Or are you going to say something about love being overrated and unnecessary in a marriage?

Trump's had 3 wives; I'd say that he's popular with the ladies. Plus every time he runs he does better with them [1], he might even get to 50-50 in 2028.
Unclear who you mean by 2nd most powerful man. Musk successfully convinced like a couple dozen woman to carry his kids but he's also unable to get his own agenda implemented so probably not even top 100 most powerful.
That said, Popular and Love are definitely not the same thing ... TSwift is popular with the ladies but uh few woman going to divorce their husbands to marry her.

"the stereotypical parental structure" precedes fascism by a long stretch. And so do forks and spoons, stereotypically used by fascists.
Mixing various side agendas is greatly detrimental to understanding and countering political nationalism, in fact, it helps its proponents.

Look whose mixing side agendas lol. Fascism (Autocracy w/ low freedoms) and Nationalism (Pride in a nation) are separate concepts.
Pretending that there aren't legitimate reasons to something is more detrimental than acknowledging any exists. Unless of course, you're a fascist in which case what you say goes and so you don't have to debate!

it's popular enough to keep moving forward.

I mean, the likely democratic senate nominee literally has a nazi tattoo. Fascism still has its fans.
