Also, we didn’t find out about the really bad stuff until WWII was over. What is happening now that we don’t know about?
That’s a horrible summary of Hitler’s program.
He started with claiming that the politicians in Germany were uarasites that damage the nation for their own gain. And that Germany needs a new leader, who ditches all that democracy in order to lead Germany into new glory.
You can figure out the parallels as an exercise to the reader.
People sometimes get upset about comparing bad people to Hitler, but Trump is literally copying Hitler’s playbook in every possible way. From the dogwhistle phrases, to even directly involving himself with the olympic games. If you don’t see it, you either don’t want to or failed high school history and English.
He is also copying putin. The thing is that it looks like he desperately wants to fit in in that circle but it is seen as a joke among other dictators.
You should type at all, not post AI slop.
How could you tell?
Not saying it isn’t, but I want to be able to catch this shit in the future.
The
sepiapiss filter is another sign that it’s AI generated.Thats not a typeface, its all generated like the rest of the image.
its text on a fucking background. who fucking gives a shit how it was made? its not generating revenue and it has more impact than plain text. fuck off.
It’s wasting resources, dumbass. Fuck off yourself
I feel like there is a group of victims who Hitler blamed for many problems that is missing from this list.
I’m printing this and plastering around my city.
It’s horrifically outdated at this point, all of these things are in the rear view mirror and we’re now collecting unhoused people in concentration camps.
Sure, but don’t let perfect be enemy of good. It still applies and of course can be expanded further.
In no way is that what I was doing, it’s just annoying to see the lack of awareness of how far things have actually gone while people are still pretending we’re not already staring down the barrel of the end game. We should have been throwing Molotovs long ago.
Most Americans I see think like their media still.
So take the fascist words at face value, and then point out their lies.
As if that does anything.
The only thing we learn from history
Is that we don’t learn anything from history
See you all at the front lines of WWIII … yay!!!
Who will come invade us? All the allies are undergoing their own fascist makeovers themselves. There is no one to save us but us. Civil War II here we come
This will only end in Civil War 2. Millions are going to die. I am willing to put my life on the line to stop the fascists when it inevitably begins.
Invasion? who cares what the details are … WWIII will happen for some stupid reason or another and we’ll be asked to fight for some reason … then our descendants will look back on us like a bunch of idiots that should have known better.
China, maybe?
They are already taking our position in other areas, it would be a great way to earn some positive PR. Saving the world from a fascist superpower?
As someone who has an undergrad in history … You’re depressingly right. Studying history is just watching people keep making the same mistakes over and over again and every so often there are improvements made to the human condition. A eureka moment here and there.
Mostly, you get to learn humans are mostly terrible. All of us, really, have some serious flaws and arguably that is what makes humans human but it’s insane to watch in slow motion my country succumbing to fascism. I wonder if I’ll get rounded up; I sure hope not.
It does blow to like call a thing years in advance and watch it happen and then have to just deal with it even though we could have stopped this.
Whatever, we all will get what we deserve for electing Trump. Madness.
It’s NEVER LOUD enough.
Do I need to swap to blue switches?
go full typewriter bro
And socialized medicine.
AI slop
“AI slop” slop
Cry more, brainrotter
Don’t fall behind on the times. We need less tech illiterate people in the future.
Trump literally has camps though, for immigrants.
Yeah.
You’ll find he’s done everything else on this list, too.
He’s treating the hallmarks of fascism like a speedrunning checklist.
The Nazi regime set up its first concentration camp in Dachau in March 1933, barely two months after Hitler’s rise to power.
Check☑️
And before the rise to power with public support, there was a failed coup referred to as
January 6ththe Beer Hall PutschThe only thing to learn from history as that we don’t learn from history.
And citizens with the wrong accent.
Creating enemies of neighbors goes a lot of different ways, obviously, but the one I’m personally experiencing lately is that people of that political persuasion are super judgey and non-supportive of people who have lost their jobs recently. Doubly so for those who have lost their jobs because of Trump and republican policies.
Literally the last 3 known conservatives that I’ve mentioned my unemployment to have said all manner of things like …
“USAID was rotten to the core, it needed to be killed” even though that was entirely irrelevant to my job.
“My taxes were paying your paycheck and I can’t afford it anymore” from somebody whose income is close enough to poverty level that I can guarantee you they pay next to nothing in federal income taxes.
“Schools are putting litter boxes in the bathrooms for kids to use, the stuff they’re teaching kids these days is not acceptable” from someone whose kids graduated from public school 3 decades ago and has no clue what my job duties actually entailed (hint: It wasn’t related to litter boxes).
Why does this look like AI? Like you can tell, but it’s hard to point to a single flaw.
Uh oh. The one thing Lemmy hates more than fascism is something that might resemble possibly being related somehow to AI.
Oh shut up. I don’t hate AI, my recent comments show that. I just think it’s interesting how you can get a sense for AI art even without spotting obvious tells like extra fingers.
Probably the font and the color. I also think it’s made by AI, but I cannot find the evidence
The squiggly border is a bit uncanny too.
We are so fucking far past any of these points, if you’re just now realizing these things that all happened god damned months ago at this point then congratulations on being part of the reason we got here, you fucking idiots, it’s worse than you know.
Democrats encouraging fear of gun rights is the start of the death spiral for LGBTQ people and culture. It’s too late to arm up and protest and fight fascism, because MAGA defends them with their massive quantity of Republican-voting gun owners. We allowed impotent pacifists to control the narrative for too long, and now we are here at this point witnessing modern-day concentration camps.
What a strange vision of the future, a minority of people using guns to fight off the majority who has the full power of the military.
We are not talking about Red Dawn either. This military has drones with thermal imaging, UAVs, Satellites, etc. There is no escape or hope.
Shits gettin fucked up yo so let’s have ourselves a good old murder fantasy.
We’re fucked.
Calling people who are finally joining the movement “idiots” and “part of the problem” is not exactly the best way to promote unity.
Were they? Yes. But divisive rhetoric is not really what we need right now.
What we need is a unified front against fascism.
If financially conservative Republicans can join hands with literal Nazis, we should be able to accept people who stayed in their ignorance a bit too long.
Fuck that. Feel free to coddle them, but I’m so fucking done pretending we aren’t past the clathrate trigger of this entire situation. We lost and I’m going to go ahead and blame everyone who held their matches to the gas for starting this fire. Fuck this country and every single piece of shit who refused to pay attention or sat on their hands.
Damn, that’s rough.
I see where you are coming from and hope you find something that inspires hope in the future.
Best of luck, bro.
Hope is the useless tool of idealists, Americans don’t need hope, we need a fucking spine.
Would seeing a massive wave of Americans standing up to fascism inspire hope in you?
That is the point I am trying to make.
If something happens in the USA that inspires hope in someone with your current mindset, we are probably on the right path.
Even if the US is belatedly on the right path, and “if” is doing some pretty big lifting hear. Without some honest and deep introspection and recognition that they fucked up, these latecomers will fall for the same old shit again and again. Just can’t trust 'em, bro.
We’re not on that path, though.
Neither of us can predict the future.
I am choosing to believe that America will change for the better within our life time. Call me what you will, but change never came out of defeatism.
For every purity test you do the right lovebombs the crap out of those people you deem “unworthy”. One of the greatest reason why many people “leave the left”, and part of the reason why we see the opposite happen in spectacular fashion less often.
I’m not asking for a fucking purity test, I’m saying fuck you to everybody who enabled this literal obvious fascist bullshit, it didn’t require anything close to perfection out of anyone. All it took was not living with your head up your ass or being too busy loving the smell of your own shit. Fuck everyone who had a hand in enabling this. Feel free to cry about people not coddling these pieces of shit when they’re putting us in camps, you pacifist fucks, that’ll be the perfect stage for all of you to pat yourselves on the backs and jerk each other off about your enlightened awareness.
Always look on the bright side of life, Hitler was 44 when he took the power, Trump is 79.
