The Silver Legion was a real thing?

Yes.

They are also featured in Paradox games in relation to fascist paths in both HoI4 (focus) and Vicky3(fascist party name) . For some reason.

Isn’t there a game mod for Hearts of Iron where the Silver Legion can straight up conquer America and start WW2?

I know literally nothing about this Mayor LaGuardia guy so I started reading the Wikipedia page for some idea of how out and out fascist he was and it seems like he did a bunch of public works but then also basically helped fundraise for Fascist Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia?

Also if I had a nickel for everytime MSG was used a venue for fascism, I’d have two nickels. Which is not a lot but it’s weird it happened twice. (MSG was for the American NAZI Rally and apparently also for the handover of the raised money at an Italian-American rally for the invasion of Ethiopia).

former was a little less openly frothing but still very anti-left and pro-law and order

Fascist Italy was acceptable because its ambitions did not interfere with the French or British (or American) spheres. it was not the degree to which their methods upset libs stomachs, their repression of the left was absolutely fine to libs, and was not nicer than the Nazis.

the Nazis were of course much worse to many more groups than leftists, but that was not the reason the allies actually fought them
