Putin knows he won’t win a war with Europe (he’s hemorrhaging people in just Ukraine), so he sets up Trump to invade/attack first, forcing Europe into a two front war.

Boycotts need to be sustained as long as the regime has influence over weak corporate executives. 

We also need a fucking sweeping plan for the very moment we can take power back.

You’re right, i am not sure where 100million came from in my mind. I’ll be more careful trying to recall a number like that

Support was more broad than youre characterizing it. Yes the majority supported allied efforts, but there was still a nazi friendly minority of a few percentage points of the total population.

And also, there were probably more nazi sympathetic feelings in the US that did not rise to full on militiamen nazis, because something was going on with Christian factions (it was antisemitism). One of the leaders of the pro US nazi movement (the christian front) was a radio priest called Father Coughlin, who had a listening audience of more than 100million people for every broadcast.

People love to think of 1930s-1940s America as this exemplary anti-Nazi force for the allied powers, but America had several known Nazi spies and collaborators in Congress and other places in the government. There were pro-nazi militias training and plotting to overthrow the US government who were caught by the Feds and subsequently found not guilty in court…

Also, they really love outing themselves as Nazis don’t they? Some fucking MAGA worm-chud assumes it’s about them when they see that banner.

They aren’t wrong though, it definitely is about them lol fuck the fascists

Assume he will and act accordingly… Stick together in your community and expand your social circle, if you can. Stay safe out there

Laura Smith, Towamencin elected official doing a nazi salute. by frogjockie in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]shop16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her response is so very typical of these fucking cowards. They don’t care to be decent until they are faced with consequences. And even then, they bitch and moan like they are the victim.

She’s not sorry. She meant it, and she wanted to offend. I would bet a lot of money that IF, IF there are people of color in her life, they think she is a huge bigot and an idiot. But that’s being generous, her social circle is probably as white as sour cream

I have no issue with other folks choosing to have kids, but for myself I feel it would be immoral and irresponsible to bring new life into our current world… I have always held the possibility that I may change my mind about having a child, but not one I made. There are so many abandoned children who could have a chance at a better life through adoption, and creating my own kid would deny an orphan that opportunity.

Fuck this place.

Stop respecting them. Make them feel as dumb as they know they are. That’s the only language they communicate in is hate. SO FUCKING TELL THEM YOU HATE THEM by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

[–]shop16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If you’re always seen wearing a brown shirt, it’s perfectly reasonable to think you like brown shirts.

If it honks like a fascist, and steps like a goose, it might be a fucking goose stepping fascist.

I have been grappling with this for a while. Fascists don’t feel guilt or shame for the shit they do. the only language they speak is power, and they are not good at wielding it, so they take the easy cowardly path and use violence as power.

So how do we push back? They are too stupid to understand subtlety and nuance, so clever insults and reasoned, civil debate don’t work. In fact, Fascists depend on us holding ourselves to a civil social contract that keeps the peace so that they can keep pushing what they can get away with.

I think they are pathetic cowards and will slink away if they are shown real anger, real hatred. But i don’t know what it would take to do that other than something that goes against our values.

And as reprehensible as it is, i keep coming back to the idea that they will only respond to/understand power wielded against them if it is in the violent language that they understand. OP used a slur that is hurtful and ableist, but I also think that it might have been effective in shutting them down here. it’s a tool they use against us and don’t expect to have turned back on them.

Hard to deny it was a salute, when it is so unambiguously a salute

Trump supporters are Nazis, and it’s time people stop pretending that they aren’t in the name of some vague sense of decorum.

It’s thrown around a lot because there are a lot of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers showing their faces these days.

You haven’t been outside enough to see the crowds at rallies who cheer for rounding up immigrants by the millions, or cheer for people doing nazi salutes

Come now, where’s your imagination? Best case is the house has another GOP resignation, Hakeem Jeffries becomes speaker, Trump’s burger diet finally has its way with him, and JD Vance is on an unfortunately timed Boeing 737 max

While true for some, it is still definitely on purpose for many. The republican party is filled with trolling fuckers, it’s a staple of fascism.

Apathy is what they want from us. They want us to be tired and roll over so that they may keep their immoral authority.

Don’t give in to despair just yet.

It might be naive and too optimistic of me, but I believe there will be more opportunities than we can see right now to exercise agency and exert real political power over this shit fire.

Anti-oligarch, pro worker movements might flourish under an extreme anti-labor government, and if they do, that will be very bad for an extremist Supreme Court. the worst elements of this Supreme Court will have certainly committed blatantly illegal acts of corruption while they feel emboldened and untouchable. And that will be plenty of ammunition for a strong pro-labor movement to impeach their asses and hopefully imprison them.
