Have the Americans, (Canadians, Australians) not been educated about history? WWII? Your grandfathers fought and died in the trenches in WWII to save you from fascism. THEY FOUGHT AND DIED. WTF??
Oh we all have.
Remember skinheads and how they aren’t seen anymore?
Ok so well You know how sometimes you see those white guys who are incels and get SUPER DUPER into WWII history and then pop out later saying they think hitler ‘had his reasons’ to do what he was doing and start rationalizing genocide because the world ‘isn’t fair to white guys anymore’.
and they have a fascination to end woke cuz they think that’s what took all their privilege over everyone else away. They see being educated about WWII being bad as being ‘woke’. And this all used to be the 12-15 yr olds playing 1942.
Yeah.. so they infiltrated the conservative parties in all western countries right now and fighting to bring back facism. Conservatives you’ll notice is a conglomerate now and it’s rife with infighting because you have the old school conservatives that never went this way and it’s been flushed in with these scary beings they don’t want to piss off. That party would decimate if either side leaves too cuz they’d never have this win over the liberals should they divide again. So they are at odds with each other : pwn libs at the cost of constitution or certain demise?
You’ll notice There is a distinct homogeneousness to the conservatives in all countries right now too.
It just so happens to be on the heels of propaganda fake overs on global social platforms such as x and Facebook. Which just so happens to be the exact CEOs that showed up to the inauguration.
They've been further educated by the "internet" and now believe they had the wrong allies.
Trumpers have outright said they don't care if he breaks the constitution. They are nazis. They want this.
They did mention 100,000 antifascist protectors outside that day. 5 times the number of the members of the organization. It is something at least.
James Wheeler-Hill, national secretary of the Bund, opened the night with the statement that "if George Washington were alive today, he would be friends with Adolf Hitler."[
If Adolf Hitler were alive today, he would be friends with Donald Trump.
I saw this posted somewhere else. Really distressing. I am so appalled. It’s like nothing has changed, nothing has been learned from history. What the hell is wrong with human beings?
Thank you, UltraGIGaGigantic, for this information. I was completely unaware. So, I guess hate is just part of the human experience.
I guess hate is just part of the human experience.
welcome to the reality of humanity. but we can change it. most behavior is learned. we could easily teach new generations love and compassion but that will never happen until every sociopath and idiot on this planet is eradicated. do you want this cycle to continue endlessly? no? then wake up. nothing gets better until there is a global purge.
Yeah, honestly the US really didn’t want to take sides. A shocking number of Americans supported Hitler. But then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and that sort of unified the country to fight on the anti-fascism (antifa, for short) side of the war.
Wow. Kind of like the conservatives were WAY ahead in Canada, until Trump started talking about annexing our country. Suddenly we were united. I read somewhere that the only way humans would unite is if there was a common threat, like a huge asteroid heading for us that would annihilate the human race. We would work together. But after the threat was gone, I’m sure we would just revert back to our awful, hateful, human condition. Humans truly are a cancer.
We literally had a common threat facing the world five years ago and humans were not united. I'm pretty sure an asteroid level threat would have similar consequences.
A common threat like climate change has not been very effective sadly.
Agreed. But the climate change isn’t affecting the wealthy, other than making them more money. Where I live, in B.C., some people are now unable to get fire insurance due to fires, others are unable to get flood insurance due to “atmospheric rivers”, which causes unnatural flooding. I’ll bet the major stockholders of the insurance companies have no problem with their insurance policies. Humanity is not being threatened with immediate impending doom. Just a long slow extinction.

My great-grandfather was there on D-Day.
A good portion of his descendants are hard Trump supporters and are pro-nationalism and pro-fascism.
Glad he's not around to see his family literally turn and support the very things he fought against.
It’s always been part of the human experience. Some wacko decides they’re going to control the world.
And the police, like the little lapdogs they are, will happily stomp on people’s rights for a chance to cosplay war
What did you expect? They've been doing exactly that for their whole history.
The governors have to allow it. The federal government cannot mobilize the military in a state unless the governor of that state allows it. Posse Comitatus, if Trump attempts to send in the military against the governors wishes, we are talking civil war levels of federal vs state's rights. I hope state militias are ready to defend themselves.
Knowing Texas, Abbott will roll out the red carpet for this. Maybe I need to move to California or Illinois to get a governor that won’t bend over.
What consequences for breaking the laws that enforce rules like those have have been applied so far to this administration?
We'll see what happens with the new yes men in place. However, there was a DoD wide email that went out when he first started snatching people (though some didn't get it for some reason). It stated:
Think long and hard before assisting other agencies outside the DoD. If your actions are deemed to be against your oath, you could be investigated and actions taken against you. Remember, you serve the constitution of the United States. Not the president.
Wa state has just passed a law stating that other state's national guard, cannot enter our borders to take any actions. I would bet that that would include military personnel stationed in state.
The Governors? Seriously? SCOTUS has no power. Innocent people, like Abrego Garcio, are being erroneously being deported to hellscape.
Edit for spelling
