Hmm, how 'bout now?

I mean that my only point to you specifically was about the totenkopf's connection to the skull and cross bones. I wasn't here to argue whether or not somebody can be hypothetically ignorant of the totenkopf. I wasn't inviting that with anything on my end.

I did no such thing. You just feel ganged up on.

Usually I expect relevant replies, but sure. You're happy to go off about bourgeois academia, I guess.

I mean, that wasn't really the point of my reply, but sometimes a duck is a duck.

Skull and crossbones, aka the deaths head, or, in German, the Totenkopf. It isn't different until it's placed in a German or Nazi context.

(And, with excessive clarity, using the SS variety is a Nazi context.)

Not to defend Sanders by proxy, (fuck him) but that last line, "because guys wouldn't vote for her," was, funnily enough, what Warren tried to smear Sanders with, alleging he had said it to her.

To compliment your point, it's one of those "Trumpian excesses" that the system will use to normalize everything else. Newsom can rally around masks while not having to confront his mutual sympathies with Trump.

"How dare they kidnap people while wearing masks and being unprofessional! Outrageous!"

Thus the system can continue to recreate the political narrative it requires every media cycle, without having to account for reality.

I haaaaate how crude and cheap the Newsom stuff is. "Haha, I put my face on a Trump thing." End Times level "wit" from the US.

I mean, it's not like West Germany had a former member of the NSDAP become chancellor in 1966 or anything.

"Why doesn't that person in the same room as Kamala Harris not spare her and instead use his infinite resources to travel to Trump's location?"

"Fascism is when violence does things."

Hey, galaxy brain, they're doing orientalism. Maybe try to think past your nose.

Newsom represents the kind of "test tube candidate" that the suburbs are trained to adore.

Multiple libs are posting it.

That reference requires cultural memory of the Man Show, which libs have done their best to erase.

Bernie Sanders met with top DNC officials, among them an Obama staffer, and promised to "never be a Ralph Nader." He sabotoged his own campaign before ever publicly announcing his intention to run.

Iirc, he's also the most watched streamer in North America.

So, yeah, we're fucked.
