    Fucking Uber alles mother fuckers think having been fascists makes them the authority on fascism when they never even got rid of their own fascism

    Pretty brash of them to say considering the AfD is at what, like 45 percent of the vote at this point. They should get their own house in order before lecturing others.

        The “best” part about the “Hitler hypnotized us” narrative promoted by the krauts in their bloviating, soporific lectures is how it presents a completely counterfactual history devoid of the violent opposition to and clashes with fascists that characterized the Weimar Republic, all in order to pretend grandpappy didn’t deserve to be blown to a million pieces because everyone supported the Nazis and nobody knew right from wrong and morality wasn’t invented until 1945. Once upon a time I thought maybe there was some element of sincerity in German repentance culture, but no - it’s all self-serving, self-absorbed, self-flattering, self-interested, self- this and that; self-centered hagiographic self-praise that treats their unspeakable crimes as elite status cards to trot out.

        These fucking krauts just can’t shut the fuck up about how they have some specialized knowledge of fascism because they’re krauts. Were you there? Were you around during the Nazi era? No? Then I fail to see how you know anything more or have any more expertise on the matter than Joe Pissmonger from Montana. Maybe if you picked up a fucking book sometime instead of insisting that being a kraut gives you special privilege to speak with no prior investigation.

        But apparently Teutonic blood gives you divine insight into how fascism works. Looks like they haven’t moved past their Nazi genetic woo after all.

        “I’m a German and I’m here to teach you how to avoid fascism by supporting the status quo” how about you deal with your own rapidly Nazifying shithole American province before lecturing others.

        Be grateful the very idea of “Germany” wasn’t razed to the ground and scattered to the wind after your dear leader escorted himself out of the premises.

      20 percent it's actually gone down a bit, but yeah

        I tend to exaggerate for effect but, 20 percent is still concerning. Especially as these global crises compound and worsen.

    If someone you think is the next Hitler is even on the ballet ballot, maybe just scrap the whole country and start over.

      Or do...something?

      Anything?

      No? Just some sham trial that will drag on for years and do nothing but result in "the worst person since Hitler" being fined?

        He’ll be fined, then the only savior of democracy and safety for minorities will peacefully step down as president without any pushback, shake hands with the worst person since hitler, and retreat to a retirement home while doing $10k speeches about resistance at colleges

    Germans being smug about "learning from their history" as their government continues to support genocide.

      Germans believe they are special and divinely-ordained messiahs that have come to save us from ourselves. If my eyes rolled any further back they would disconnect from the optic nerve.

    If the Dems started imprisoning their political opponents it might be the first thing they've done that shows even an inkling of savvy.

      This is my biggest disappointment about the Democratic party. They can't get their shit together. It's incredibly frustrating.

          They won’t. It’s not even the whole “the enemy is both weak and strong” shit. They just won’t wield their power because it breaks Da Rulez. They’re not weak. They’re not hiding their power levels. They just refuse to do anything because then they’ll “be no better than the enemy”.

          Compelling question. Honestly I think it's a mentality thing.

          Democrats have so many divergent goals that they never want to unify. They see shades of gray.

          Republicans see only black and white. It's very easy for them to organize and unify.

          It's easy to believe that it's some kind of design, maybe easier to believe than the fact that infighting and poor organization skills keep the Democratic party from dominating like demographics would suggest it should.

          Surely there are more reasons than I know though.

      Well they do imprison political opponents, like the ones that protested against cop city and the construction of oil pipelines in indigenous land.

      Or any of the George Floyd protestors.

      Trump's voice isn't even that loud either, they're both soft-spoken geriatric demagogues. Maybe they should take notes from resident ancaptain since he is the loudest POS in the Americas.

    I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate that thing Germans do where they act smug because they committed the worst crime in human history. No you're not the fucking experts, you're the guy who needs to shut the actual fuck up and count yourself lucky that retributive justice is only for the underprivileged.

    The fact that AfD is even allowed to exist highlights how equally unserious they are about these things.
