I don’t think capitalism is necessarily at fault, nor must the working/middle classes be struggling for fascism to emerge. If anything, quite the opposite. It is the better off countries that end up turning fascist. All fascist countries are/were first world countries, in various states of advanced development.
That's not right, at least not for the fascist regimes in Europe that emerged prior to WW2. The countries where it happened (specifically Germany/Italy/Spain) had all seen civil unrest or even civil war in the recent past, they were hit hard by the global financial crisis in the twenties and had high unemployment and widespread poverty. This was the very thing the fascists used to ingratiate themselves to the public at large, by creating jobs through massive public building and rearmament projects.
By the way "first world countries" is post-WW2 terminology and didn't originally have a connotation of superior economic status, but was referring strictly to ideological alignment. Whether a country belonged to the capitalist/communist/unaligned block in international politics during the cold war.

I have no skin in the game
Well during that time you will have lost quite a lot of skin cells, so in a manner of speaking you literally have some skin in this game. Around 328 grams going by an average loss of 3.6kg/year I took from some random website.
Sie fordert, Menschen sollten aufgeklärt und unterstützt werden, um beispielsweise frühzeitig eine Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung abzuschließen.
Sagt die Versicherungsfachfrau. Ja danke für den Tipp Monika. Wie so eine Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung den im Gesetz sogenannten "Arbeitssuchenden" denen Bürgergeld zusteht helfen soll bleibt fraglich. Das ist ein komplett anders SGB Moni.
Wenn man mal in die Abgründe der Psyche dieser Person blicken möchte empfehle ich das Interview mit Focus. Da haut sie so Kalauer raus wie es gäbe ja zinslose Darlehen für Haushaltsgeräte (ist in den meisten Fällen eine Ermessensentscheidung, d.h. kann ohne Begründung abgelehnt werden) und man könne ja mal beim Hofladen einkaufen statt im Supermarkt, weil der wo sie hingeht (fährt?) hat gerade billige Kürbisse. Und eine Dose Mais für 0,99€ ordnet sie als unnötigen Luxus ein. Einfach merkbefreit.
Hence my disclaimers in said post, and my efforts at explaining following your accusations.
Learn to read.
I said Sulla gave up his dictatorship in response to a rhetorical question I took the liberty of answering.
In an effort of tying that aside back to the topic of the thread I then tried to state that it remains to be seen if Trump will be the one to kill the republic (Caesar), or the one setting the precedent to make it possible (Sulla).
I have no delusions that Trump would willingly give up power. He has already shown that he will not. But what he hasn't done (yet) is kill the republic. And as the assassination attempt happening a few days after my post should have made clear, he might yet fail to. What I'm worried about is whoever is going to fill the power vacuum that comes after his departure. This shit won't stop even if death rids us of him.
But fair enough, I can see how that might have been misinterpreted. Hence my disclaimers in said post, and my efforts at explaining following your accusations. Which you have so far only answered with more insults. So I really have to wonder who is the one saying stupid fucking things here.
Yeah I'm probably giving more benefit of the doubt than I should here, but I prefer to err on the side of caution in matters like this. I'm still not entirely convinced that this user is a troll, because if I were facing the prospect of an openly fascist dictatorship I would be in emotional distress as well. So I'm still doubting, however I have to say my patience is beginning to wear rather thin.
Again, not what I said. To be frank, the amount of misinterpretation you show is starting to seem utterly deliberate.

If Trump is elected to a second term it will be a disaster and there is no ambiguity as to the nature of Trump for he has already declared civil war against the will of the American people.
And please show me where the fuck I ever doubted that. Do you not know who Sulla was? Did you not read me saying he fought a civil war and was the first general to march on Rome? Like right above the section you quoted out of context?
What I said is Trump might not turn out to be the one to kill the republic but the one to irreparably damage it instead. Think for example him getting elected to a second term and then dying a month into it without achieving much of his dictatorial agenda.
You are an idiot.
That I am, given that I am still arguing with you.
Nearly, the technological development that made line infantry tactics essentially obsolete was breach loading, because muzzle loading is rather hard to do in a prone position. Breach loaders already used pre-made ammunition cartridges in most cases, but magazines (especially non-internal ones) were a later development. Nonetheless they already made reloading much easier and also much faster than muzzle loading.
Rifled barrels giving increased range, gun powder that doesn't block vision by creating big clouds, and ammunition cartridges/needle guns played a role as well. But breach loading made the biggest difference to infantry tactics.
Advances in artillery range and accuracy also made line tactics much more dangerous after a certain point. However some more conservative commanders still used line infantry related tactics like bayonet charges until well after the advent of machine guns in the first world war.
