    “Dogpiled” “dragged” “slammed”

    These are not consequences. I feel like Americans see these headlines and think “well that’ll show them”, but the reality is this reaction is exactly what they want. Consequence-free social media b.s.

    And these are your typical Republicans in the 2000’s AMD are accurately representative of the Republican party.

    I honestly wonder if it’s too late to stop the Nazi party from being a major party of America now without a lot of violence.

      Not to nitpick, but I believe the term you’re looking for is “Neo Nazi”. The Nazi party ended in 1945. Though you’re right. If the US government was completely taken over by Neo Nazi’s, it would almost definitely cause WWIII.

        We just call them nazis because it’s shorter and there aren’t many original nazis left, the nazis at the time never called themselved that anyway, it’s always been a colloquialism. Though it would be more accurate to call the modern Republicans Neo-Nazis or at least in general fascists. They have taken over the US government and are attempting to start numerous wars which could potentially be seen as a precursor to WW3.

    That final paragraph is a real chef’s kiss:

    Fuentes has openly praised Adolf Hitler, called for a “holy war” against Jewish people, and championed a “whites-only immigration policy.” Fears have also grown among critics that he’s gone on to become a replacement for slain right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk as a thought leader on the right.

        You’re a couple of months behind on the whole thing. It was a guy whose roommate (well romantic partner actually, but news kept saying “roommate” lmao) is trans. He did it because of all the hate Kirk was spewing.

                It is weird, but that’s what we’ve got. A criminal defense attorney on reddit pointed out that if these are used in the court case it’d be extremely unlikely to fake them because the defense usually gets access to all the metadata and such.

                The groyper narrative doesn’t make much sense anyway. FBI itself doing it on Trump’s order is more likely at this point lol

    What’s really stupid about many of these assholes being mixed race or nonwhite is that they think they will thrive if they side with the white supremacists, and for a time, they will. But they either don’t realize, or completely ignore, that hate and bigotry are never satisfied. Eventually, there won’t be enough “undesirables” to despise, and that pool will have to expand to eventually include them, resulting in the loss of their wealth and protected status, if not their outright demise. It’s never “if”, only “when”.

      First they came for the Communists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Communist
      
      Then they came for the Socialists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Socialist
      
      Then they came for the trade unionists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a trade unionist
      
      Then they came for the Jews
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Jew
      
      Then they came for me
      And there was no one left
      To speak out for me

      Eventually the racism gets so bad that whites will actually turn on other whites and accuse them of not being white. They did it with the Irish and the Jewish.

        The issue is using white as the catch all term when in the eyes of a “super racist” it is not. Only the Germanic group counts, so Germans, English / some Scottish, and Scandinavian. Everyone else is something different, jews are either slavic or semitic and the Irish are Celtic.

        I can’t speak for all of them, but Fuentes is supposedly White Hispanic and is more Christian Nationalist and normal racist, while Tate is a grifter who latches onto whatever combo of buzzwords gives him views. Ye is just rich and is positioning himself with the Christian Nationalists rather than Super Racists.

          And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.

      I love the scene in Babylon 5 when Captain Sinclair fights an aincent alien bio robot thing having awoken and started rampaging on the apace station.

      The bio robot was created to enforce biological purity in an old alien race and would kill anyone not pure enough.

      During the fight scene Captain Sinclair makes a passioned speech about how just how extremism is by definition never satisfied.

        Fuck around

        The VnJ’s founding statutes declared that its purpose was to represent "Germans of Jewish descent, who, while openly acknowledging their descent, feel so completely rooted in German culture and Wesen that they could not but think and feel as Germans.

        The goal of the association was the total assimilation of Jews into the German Volksgemeinschaft, self-eradication of Jewish identity, and the expulsion from Germany of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe.

        The VnJ rejected Zionism, Marxism, and liberal cosmopolitanism, emphasizing absolute loyalty to the German nation-state.

        Find out.

        Despite the extreme nationalism of Naumann and his colleagues, the Nazi regime did not accept the Association of German National Jews as a legitimate intermediary.

        the VnJ was declared illegal and dissolved on 18 November 1935. Naumann was arrested by the Gestapo the same day, and imprisoned at the Columbia concentration camp. He was released after a few weeks, and died of cancer in May 1939. Most other members and their families were murdered in the Holocaust.

          It’s almost the idiots that champion this kind of nonsense are willfully choosing to learn absolutely nothing from their elders and/or history.

          If that Fourth Turning stuff is accurate, we are right at the 80 year mark since WWII ended.

          I find awfully curious to note all the intergenerational warfare being whipped up at the same time, by the way. A constant barrage of hate for anyone that didn’t retire from their job at 65 or whatever the fuck, as if that’s the problem here.

      That is the problem with fascism in general. Going back to the Roman emperors, there is always someone waiting to slit your throat and take your place. Not very “fasce-like” in application. It’s one of the practical reasons that system was abandoned.

    If Hitler came back to see this group of mixed race young gay men chanting his name he would immediately kill himself a second time

    I’d not dive into Hitler’s headspace to confirm this, but in my opinion that is a completely misguided take. Almost in a territory of anti-gay people with internalized homophobia or something.

    No, like, stop. Don’t even indulge in what Hitler would do to this guys, because it makes this imaginary Hitler somehow valid. Don’t point on how they are unfit in a fucking Nazi Germany.

    Instead, I propose you another route. How they are now unfit in the current times as failures as persons. How their current ambitions are not fit with the better world that may be built without them.

    Don’t come down to call them f-word race traitors. Call them grifters and liars, and stay at that. I don’t feel like going into nazi ideology to find their incompatibility to it is the right course.

      Yeah. Also fascists are notoriously hypocritical. Their leaders in particular don’t actually believe their own propaganda, they will approve and condemn whatever is conducive to their politics and propaganda. Why would we take their horrid worldview more seriously than they do.
