…and? That didn’t make Hitler any less of an enemy to Germany or the rest of humanity, nor does the horde of neonazis lined up behind Trump make him any less of an enemy to the US or the rest of humanity.
I guess I’m not really understanding your goal here. Mine is to spur some much needed action against Trump, especially from within the US. You’re insistent on refuting that, but you also seem pretty clearly anti-Trump, so why the contradiction? Or if that’s not what you’re getting at, what is?
Why is that the question? Adolf Hitler had a lot of organic support, but that didn’t make him any less of an enemy to humanity, to include the Germans who opposed him, and regardless of whether or not those Germans were a minority opinion.
Trump is using the same tactics to manipulate the same kinds of idiots, and while those MAGA (Nazis) are a very real issue in their own right, that doesn’t make Trump any less of an issue that also needs to be addressed.
Even if 90% of Americans (Germans) voted for him of their own volition, that still leaves you with 10% of the US population as potential allies.
You speak as if half Americans did not actually vote for Trump.
Um… half of Americans did not actually vote for Trump. That’s how halves work. The US isn’t one person.
If half the US is lining up to suck Trump’s micropenis, and the other half want his head on a pike, which half do you think is my target audience here? The us has a Nazi problem, like fucking bad, but it also has people who aren’t Nazis, and Trump absolutely does not represent those people. What they need to be is spurred into action - lumping them in with the Nazis will only serve the Nazis.
You’re not wrong, but I don’t think that’s really hitting the reality of what’s going through those people’s heads. Like, no 18 year old is sitting down and crunching a pros and cons list of a ticket to school vs committing war crimes to help distract the world from the fact that their president raped children on some sketchy-ass island.
There are a lot of reasons someone might decide to join the military… and some of them are legit just psychopaths who get off at the thought of killing someone, but those aren’t the ones my previous message is directed at. Those are a lost cause, fuck em.
But propaganda is a hell of a drug, and you gotta consider the environment these kids grew up in: in the time took between their mom squeezing them out, and walking out of that hospital front entrance, lil baby John Doe has probably already been hauled passed at least a couple of posters with some soulless “thank you for your service” shit. From literal day one, we’re inundated with propaganda touting people in the military as ‘heroes’ selflessly devoting their lives to serving their community.
As John Doe grows up, he’s made aware of some of the more horrific shit the military involves, but even that is tied into the whole altruism schtick: yeah you’ll need to kill people - but they’re the bad guys! Yeah you might get injured or killed - but who else is going to defend your family??
So John Doe is nearing adulthood - he’s developed a sincere sense of patriotism and has been conditioned to believe that the best way to act on it is by joining the military. So he does.
Fast forward a couple years, John has been paying more attention to things like global politics; that brain of his is about finished developing, and he’s noticing some increasingly grating incompatibilities with his world view vs what he’s actually seeing with his own eyes.
He sees the news from back home, and it’s the same shit the rest of us are seeing: people are being disappeared by unnamed police agents, families literally torn from eachothers’ arms, people just straight up shot in broad daylight. Human rights are walked back on a daily basis, corruption and malice in office are so rampant that it’s become difficult to even distinguish real news from cartoonishly overt parody.
So now we’re back to my original comment here - I’m addressing the Johns. The ones who joined for all the right reasons, only to realize after the fact that they are in fact the baddies. But that’s the thing, John, you swore an oath to defend us from all threats, foreign and domestic: why do you think it specifies ‘and domestic’? The amount of damage someone can do to our country from a position of high office would be (and has been) catastrophically worse than any threat even the most hardcore stereotype of a jihadist with an AK could possibly pose to our country. Your chain of command, all the way up to the president himself, has violated their oath - but you don’t have to. This isn’t why you joined, but you’re uniquely suited to actually do something about it, so stop following that domestic enemy’s orders, and actually do something about it.
Anyway, sorry for the long tangent, but the point is there are potential allies within the military. Even if that’s a minority of the military, the number is higher than zero, and it only needs to be one. Belittling John for making a shit decision (and it is a shit decision) to enlist isn’t going to accomplish anything; acknowledging the sense of conflict growing in John and encouraging him to make it right despite the atrocities of his chain of command… well, it doesn’t hurt to try. Hasn’t worked yet, and at this point I don’t exactly have high hopes, but the military’s a big group, and we just need a single one of them to finally take their oath seriously.
Here’s a better message for Catholics in the army:
You swore an oath to defend the US and its constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. A domestic enemy is actively soiling the office of the president, and rather than defend us against him, you continue to follow his orders. Stop doing what’s easy, and start doing what’s right.
Seeing as legal justice is dead, all our eggs are in the vigilantism basket. Until that shit kicks in, I wouldn’t hold your breath for meaningful consequences.
Donald Trump is an enemy of the US and its constitution. He isn’t ‘failing’ in his role as president because you can’t fail at something you never tried to achieve in the first place - being a good president isn’t and was never his goal. He is succeeding at destroying our country. The damage he’s done isn’t a chain of hundreds of unfortunate, unintentional blunders: he’s doing this shit on purpose.
Pulled up the original for my daily hit of nostalgia.
That video was posted 15 years ago.
Legal justice? Sounds nice. Fake, unrealistic. But nice.
Fair enough.
Eh, Brute - that’s your cue.
There was a pretty extensive study conducted around the 1930s on how to best engage with a Nazi. Punching isn’t bad per se, but it requires you to be in dangerously close range; and they tend to get back up following the punch, so it’s a very temporary solution. High risk, low reward.
Best practice is bullets and bombs.
I mean, considering the literal complete absence of a single person in the military who takes their oath seriously, if it comes down to an internal maga power struggle to depose any members of the Trump regime, I’ll take it.
I’ve got a bottle of champagne on standby, and it doesn’t care who pulls the trigger.
Yea, just like the oath of office/enlistment/commission instructs you to do!
“I do solemnly swear to submit a two weeks notice of resignation when confronted with a domestic enemy of the US.”
Good job!
…hmm, actually now that I type that out, it doesn’t look quite right. Oh well, I’m sure the gist is the same even if I’m paraphrasing, right??
The problem is that they make republicans aroused, cuz their only engagement with drag shows is what their searches for it on PornHub yield. And that makes them confused. And that makes them violent.
Key word trends on porn sites in red sates is a fun little rabbit hole.
That stance will only ever resonate with those of us who already agree with you. Dumbasses liken abortion to murder - which it’s not - so they basically hear you calling for murder to be legalized and to leave it to the individual to decide whether or not it’s okay to murder.
You will not change their minds on this, because they think it’s part of their religion. Which is also incorrect, at least if we’re talking about Christians (no idea on the others). IIRC abortion is mentioned in the bible twice: once is basically accidental, dude injures a pregnant woman in a way that causes her to miscarry… and the biblical punishment for such a heinous crime? He owed her a fine. The second mention is a fucking how-to guide; dude thinks his wife is pregnant because she cheated on him, so he’s instructed to make poison by collecting shit off the temple floor and forcing his wife to drink it. If she miscarries, then she cheated! Burn the witch! If she doesn’t miscarry, then the kid is his.
Pretty sure that’s it. There’s the christian take on abortion. 'Course, we all know the culture surrounding christianity doesn’t actually adhere to its own lore. If some preacher hears Fox say it’s a mortal sin, then I tell you h’what, that thar’s a gosh darn sin!
For argument sake, my thought would be redirect that shit and liken it instead to triage. “Sure, that clump is a human, why not, but so is mom, and when shit hits the fan, mom takes priority” but… I’d guess even that approach is a waste of breath. They won’t hear it.
