Always look on the bright side of life, Hitler was 44 when he took the power, Trump is 79.
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.
ai go home.
And socialized medicine.
This is genai but because I agree with the content I won’t downvote it
is it?
I am unsure how to spot that in this instance. Care to elaborate?
This particular beige background color seems to keep showing up in genai.
the muted palette, the block letters with rounded corners, the slightly inconsistent spacing and kerning, the way each line is angled just slightly differently, the way the background sort of hugs the text like it was especially made for this even though it is so generic.
Can we seriously not even put a bullet list on a background ourselves anymore? Disturbing…
This isn’t a problem we can type our way out of
AI slop
“AI slop” slop
Cry more, brainrotter
Don’t fall behind on the times. We need less tech illiterate people in the future.
Did Hitler also target immigrants? I know the Nazis despised non-white and non-Aryans, but I think they primarily targeted Jews in their propagandas.
They did target Sinti and Roma as well.
But they mainly targeted people they didn’t consider to be part of a nationality. That included Jews and the aforementioned Sinti and Roma people.
What do you think the Jews were ?
Actually, the Jewish community has been living longer in Germany than most German tribes.
The Jews arrived during the early Roman empire, while the Frankish and Slavic-to-be-Germanized settlers of Western, Middle and Eastern Germany arrived 5–6 centuries later.
In the North West and in the Center, (Lower) Saxons, Thuringians and maybe Hesse were there probably before the Jews.
In the South, the Celtic ancestors of the Allemanic and Bavarian people settled the area for several millenia, but the Jews still arrived before their Germanic ancestors immigrated and before the population was Germanized.
there have been many jewish communities in germany, not one. and only a few could plausibly stem from immigration in the antique.
Slavic-to-be-Germanized settlers
this is a paradox. german settlers came in and we were then germanized.
generally your whole argument shows how unfitting the whole idea to construct the idea of germany based on the populations in the late antique (stichwort Völkerwanderung) is. jews have been living in germany as long as everybody else. since 1871.
What makes you think they were immigrants?
Immigrants from where? Israel? /s
The Jews lived in Germany for generations.
Israel is not real
I’m fairly certain that there is a piece of land between the mediterranean sea and the Jordan river. I also think that Jerusalem is a city that has existed before i was born. /s
So they were … Germany-born …
Which means they had a nationality.
Ignoring the fact that that’s a very silly sentence under most interpretations, what does that have to do with whether there was a large German Jewish community in the 1940s?
the jews were immigrants.
What? That’s not true. They were part of the country. Some even got decorated defending that country in WWI. They were no immigrants. Not that it should make a difference, but for me that makes it even worse.
defending that country in WWI.
interesting spin regarding the responsibility for the ourbreak of that war…
Are you claiming that Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a jewish conspiracy? O.o
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
It is very clear where he got his ideas from. The Daily Show put together a nice summary.
The words he uses are not common expressions. They aren’t even phrases you might accidentally reinvent.
He uses very direct language from Hitler’s speeches.
- Blood of our nation
- Vermin
- Fake news
- Make America great again
- Referring to enemies as animals
- Retribution
All of it is clearly stolen for Hitler’s playbook. Trump gets on the stage and suddenly he speaks with a 1930’s vocabulary.
It’s been obvious for years, literally a decade ago people were highlighting this. It’s why “everything you dislike is a Nazi” became a thing people say. People have been trying to warn about this but the right has intentionally been spreading this bullshit rhetoric to paint people who could see the writing on the wall as just being shallow.
