    I agree. “One of the most important day in modern history” though? That’s a bit exceptionalistic IMO.

      he’s been trying to influence elections outside the US too. his companies operate around the world and influence communication and transportation, and he has incentives to influence laws in other countries to lax regulations and kill competitors, including public transport and internet access. he’s a nazi who operates pretty much everywhere.

      most important days in history is a little hyperbole, but it will be important for the whole world.

      after the American fascists are toppled, his head deserves to be near the first of many that must roll as a warning to all fascists.

        Totally agree. But I’m a bit pessimistic that modern fascism and extreme wealth concentration stops at one man. In my view, it’s more of a systemic issue. If he dies, the system that put him in place still thrives.

      That’s fair yeah. I’d say it’d depend upon the definition of modern history, but unless it’s fairly narrow and recent, then yeah. Certainly not within the accepted definition of modern history
