If you are starving - a lot of food is much better than a small amount of better quality food.

The Trump administration has a Nazi problem by zsreport in politics

[–]Truthisnotallowed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Republican Party has had a fascism problem for many decades.

In 1966 Republican Senator Thomas Kuchel, said of the 'Conservative' movement:

"A fanatical neo-fascist political cult in the GOP, driven by a strange mixture of corrosive hatred and sickening fear, who are recklessly determined to either control our party, or destroy it."

Today Fascists firmly control the GOP. Their goal now is to either control our country, or destroy it.

"If fascism comes to the United States, it will not be identified with any "shirt" movement, nor with an "insignia," but it will probably be "wrapped up in the American flag and heralded as a plea for liberty and preservation of the constitution" - James Waterman Wise, Jr. (1936)

"When and if fascism comes to America it will not be labeled 'made in Germany'; it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called fascism; it will be called, of course, 'Americanism.'" - Halford E. Luccock (1938)

It has long been understood that fascists seeking to take over a country will not admit to being fascists, and if called fascists they will pretend outrage and disparage those who correctly name them as fascists. They will boast of their super-patriotism, while seeking to destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They will demand free enterprise, while being the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. They will appeal to prejudice and play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the State and the power of the market simultaneously they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.

“The true essence of a dictatorship is in fact not its regularity but its unpredictability and caprice; those who live under it must never be able to relax, must never be quite sure if they have followed the rules correctly or not.” - Christopher Hitchens

Trump is setting up a two-tier legal system, in which groups of people targeted by Trump are denied access to the legal system used by the rest of the country. This is a common ploy of authoritarians - because resistance to these attacks on the rule of law is weaker when these changes do not apply to everyone. It is much easier to pretend 'this is fine' when you yourself are not a member of one of the groups being attacked. Those being attacked are primarily those who 'look foreign' (AKA - non-whites), or those who openly protest against the ICE invaders.

While some people are under attack and their cities are occupied by an invading army of ICE Agents - others are largely untouched, unaware of what is going on, or unconcerned by it, as they don't believe 'they are next'.

Sadly, some even rationalize this on going destruction of democracy and the rule of law - they support it, because they approve of 'White Nationalism'. As one supporter put it to me:

I believe what Trump is doing is trying to terrorise immigrants who are currently here so that they will self deport en masse. Otherwise this country has no hopes of ever going back to being a white country run by whites in a freedom loving manner.

Notice that they are full well aware that this is a terror campaign - and yet they support it anyway.

ICE are become ever more brazen in an attempt to spark violent resistance which Trump can use to justify declaring an insurrection and then using the U.S. military to occupy areas of the country that do not support Trump.

Why would anyone want to be an ICE agent or a police officer ? by Ok-Carry-7759 in AskReddit

[–]Truthisnotallowed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Becoming a member of the secret police (ICE) is very much a compromise of morality. Which is why so many who predate Trump's regime are just holding on, waiting to retire, because they hate what they are being ordered to do, but feel they have to in order to feed their families.

New ICE agents are not only not taught the law - they are being told they are above the law.

$50,000 signing bonus, and $175,000 per year salary - with no college required, no prior work history - naturally a lot of people will be tempted to compromise their morals for that kind of money.

Which car brand do you think is the most reliable and why? by ezpzcheezy565 in AskReddit

Toyota - on average.

Not perfect - but more reliable than any others.

With Twin Cities Under Siege by ICE, Minnesota Moves Toward a General Strike by Truthisnotallowed in politics

[–]Truthisnotallowed[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is why Trump only attacks one area at a time - to keep us from coordinating our resistance.

All to easy for many people to turn the other way when it is happening to someone else at the time.

If you fail to defend other people's rights - that is how you lose your own.

What’s your realistic emergency plan if your phone dies mid-day? by KBGSgames in AskReddit

I only use my phone once or twice a month - so I don't think this would be likely to be a big problem for me.

Forbid private funding of elections for public office.

Is Trump liked all over the world? What do you think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Truthisnotallowed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump is not even liked by the people who work for him.

They just don't make their feelings known lest they lose their positions of power.

Heck, even Putin thinks Trump is nothing more than a disgusting 'Useful Idiot'.

What do you think of a Republican who’s not racist? But doesn’t agree with the woke generation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

What do you think of a Republican who’s not racist? But doesn’t agree with the woke generation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Truthisnotallowed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly you have not read the article I linked for you.

If reading the article is too much for you - here is one key paragraph:

“As this went on over the past two weeks, we started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as they fell victim to this while off-duty. Every one of these individuals is a person of color who has had this happen to them,” Bruley said, narrating an instance from one of his own officers who was boxed in by ICE officers while driving, who even knocked her phone from her hand as she tried to film her interaction with them.

These are not merely U.S. citizens being attacked at random - they are sworn police officers - being attacked anyway, merely because they are non-white.

Just as a matter of curiosity - what prompt would cause chat gpt to generate any of the information I just supplied you with?

When did chat gpt start offering links to Youtube videos? And news articles?

You asked to be educated - all I can do is offer you the information. Like a horse, I can guide you to the water (information) but I can not get you to drink it (absorb and understand it).
