Apologies if this violates sub rules. I did read them, and it said we should only post links to “articles”. Although this is a YouTube video, I think it qualifies because it is an opinion piece with clear points and context.

I think people confuse militarism with fascism. I don’t see any evidence that liberalism wants to create rabidly nationalistic, hierarchical, ethno-states. To the contrary, they tend to fight for people’s freedom and equality.
Liberals have been becoming more militaristic though, because at the end of the day, certain problems can genuinely only be solved through violence or the threat of it. Organized violence directed at you or your society is one of those things.
People hope we don’t have to go to war, but a man like Churchill did not bend when it arrived on his doorstep. That does not make him fascist, however.
