This decision is final. Their place in history is settled.
I find those last 2 sentences amusing and puzzling. It is like he thinks he is the decider of what society at large is going to care about at any given moment. That level of ego must hurt your neck to carry around everyday.
Called it! Stamped it! No repeats!
Americans looking at the Nazis: I’ll never be as good as the old masters.
Nazis looking at Americans: I’ll never be as good as the old masters.
The first one doesn’t make any sense.
US industrialists like Ford helped fund the Nazi and Nazism was extremely popular in the US.
Hitler himself modeled the Holocaust after how the US genocided the Native Americans.
For the first one, read the post. It’s saying the Americans are emulating the Nazis.
The second one is because the Nazis were emulating the Americans (as you stated).
I get that, it is just not correct as the Nazi were emulating the US from the start.
Not only did the US provide massive support, it also did a lot of political work. You see before the final solution Hitler just wanted the Jews out.
He sent delegates to talk with other nations about taking them in. When the wealthy Nazi lovers of the US found out about this they assisted in helping revive anti-jewish sentiment around the world. They went around lobbying every nation including the US to not take the Jews in and it worked.
This is what brought about the final solution, but before that the Nazi had a problem with tracking Jews. Que IBM who used their computing power at the time to generate a census system. Those numbers tattooed on Jewish prisoners arms came from IBM.
If that was not enough the Nazi also had a problem with the logistics during the final solution. IBM once again came to the rescue figuring out how many trains of Jews could be executed without backing up their newly designed death camps.
So the US played an intricate role in making the Holocaust feasible. One of the many genocides the US has been a part of.
I’m just not very funny.
You are just fine, I just feel compelled to point this out when it is brought up. Mainly because I hate the narrative the US was the good guy during WWII.
No one thinks that in my country, I think they’re the only ones that think that. But they also think they didn’t lose 1812.

Anyone have a backhoe and a trailer? Lots of Confederate trash lying around in the dirt that we could clean up too.
I wish American liberals weren’t such pansies. They are half the country if not more, it really wouldn’t be that difficult to shut down the country in a big enough uprising.
I think people are counting on midterms going their way. If it helps the left has been more effective at violence so far when it does happen.
And me personally would end up homeless if I miss more then one paycheck.
Revolutions dont happen because people are afraid to he homeless. People should be rioting, killing their landlords, hanging politicians in the street.
I live in Alaska and we do notnevem have anywhere near enough shelters. Plus, would you be willing to kill your own cousin?
Upon managing to access the presidential bunker, the “march on D.C.” group were unsurprised to find that the first lady and chief of war had taken their own lives, what they were surprised to discover was the commander and chief had chosen not to, but instead empty his entire clip into the already deceased secretary of war at close range.
As I read this, megadeth - blackmail the universe started playing in my head
We can all agree it’s immoral, but it’s also just plain stupidity.
Even if you are white supremacist “kill all people of color”, you still need a professional military that’s not wasting time massacring civilians and creating PR disasters daily, if you hope to win any wars at all.
Also “their place in history is settled”: sorry to ruin your day but that’s not how collective processing of historical trauma works, nor history as a science.
I mean… Their place I history was already settled. They are war crime committing, baby killing, psychopaths who are the rare exception for “abolish the death penalty”.
You get what you voted for America…
Trust me, I’ve never gotten what I voted for once. The majority of Americans havent gotten what they voted for. Of those that voted 60% didnt vote for this. And the majority of the population continued the trend of not voting.
I dont know how to fix it. You would think in a country built on the idea of keeping your guns so you can fight the government, that we would see more physical pushback.
I just dont want to live on this planet anymore.
What a disappointment the human race turned out to be.
What we learned from the US of A: fucking vote guys, fucking vote, i am talkin with everyone here duh, even ya John “there is no good candidate” in Ass country from the other half of the world, vote the least worse so the worst cannot win dammit
and if you don’t have ranked choice voting figure out how to GET ranked choice voting because as soon as they get you into a binary loop you’re fucked
I agree! America needs ranked choice voting and approval voting
US elections are not by popular vote, it is by district vote and the districts are redrawn every election cycle giving the ability to rig the elections. This is by design to maintain slavery and is still used today. Even if every undecided voter in California voted for Kamala and she had 2 million more votes than Trump, Like Hilary did, she would have still lost.
Yep
As individuals, there are plenty of good 'Muricans
But there are a huge number of utter cunts, and their society is absolutely abhorrent
Dude… I voted for Fetterman. I honestly don’t know how to change anything now that I’ve been aggressively bait and switched by a Republican dick. I’m a naive fool.
Direct action
Buy a gun
I already own three and a crossbow. How many guns am I supposed to own? And I own all of these guns and crossbow from before I started following the eightfold path, so I don’t think they’ll help me much.
Enough for your friends in the crumbles.
This is how I feel about our species as a whole.
Sure there are good individuals, but the world we’ve created for ourselves to live in as a species is basically a torment nexus. And it’s entierly run and being supported by the worst of us, which kinda just ends up just being guilt by association because we can’t escape the system we’re in so defacto have to support it.
Quite the “warrior” ethos, this Hegseth has. I want him to try this in person and see how well it holds up when someone fights back.
Can’t wait for the design of the My Lai Valor Medal
I was going to make a joke about Hugh Thompson (the helicopter pilot that ended the massacre) being called a woke commie but he was heavily criticized at the time and wasn’t even given a medal for his actions until 30 goddamn years later so…
Well yeah, he is a Nazi so that tracks
Secretary of War: “This decision is final (hic)”
That’s not how republics work, you’re not the “final decider”.
Very telling that he thinks he is.
Can’t revoke the medals if the body that issued them dissolves. Fuck it, I’ll take it.
He’s one sick drunk racist neo-Nazi bastard.
actual antifa propaganda:
I think that’s a false equivalent. Yes, the Kaiser was authoritarian, but it was just another colonising parliamentary monarchy (like th UK). It had fewer colonies than the UK (good guys TM) and was less terrible to its own population than Russia (good guys TM).
It tries to reinvigorate that hurra war spirit, which is ok. But the poster is a bit more anti-german than it is anti-fascist.
the thing about propaganda is that it’s not meant to be accurate, factual, or even logical. it’s to modify people’s behavior based on their emotional response. you can see the effectiveness in literally everything the GOP says, writes, publishes, etc. their base eats it up like hogs at the trough while everyone else sits around still trying to convince them that last month’s lies were a “false equivalent”
or that they should care that it is
Isn’t opening fire on civilians like the most american thing ever? They open fire on protesting workers, on children in schools etc.
Excuse me but that seemed like a very rude way to describe my culture.
Not inaccurate, but maybe try rewriting it to sound like less of a smug asshole who thinks their culture is just essentially better?
Americans are absolutely best at killing each other, frequently engaging in behavior almost taken out of fantasy books where strong and rich cull the week and poor, not unlike great viltrumites from show Invincible!
Americans are absolutely best at killing each other
See! My culture has virtues!
My culture is “essentially better” though.
Oh? How often do people kill Americans there?
The US has culture? What it consists of, plastic cheese, chocolate that tastes like vomit, medical bankruptcies and mass school shootings? The US desperately needs a makeover, and at least half of their citizenry needs some proper therapy. Not keeping my hopes up. Never visiting again.
Cheese and chocolate is an unfair statement when some of the best cheeses are from Monroe, Wisconsin, and if you don’t like Hershey’s brands (Cadburry is not the same) just find an Aldi and the good chocolate will be there.
Lol some of the best cheeses in America, maybe.
Wisconsin cheese has nothing on the French, Swiss or Greek cheeses.
Can’t blame you, fuck this place. It’s easily one of the most evil places on earth. The government really really hates it citizens. They refuse to regulate corporations for even the most basic things. The amount of psychological warfare against us is off the charts, that is our history is riddled with conspiracy, malice and greed. I mean ffs they are currently prioritizing water usage for data centers for things that are not only non necessary but absolutely pointless. Burning water for the hell of it. I’ve always felt odd about this place since I was young, asking adults questions that they sushed quickly with a “we don’t talk about that”. This place is like bizzaro land, everything has to be a show.
Sorry for the soapbox.
Yeah! That’s the one!
Don’t forget cars.
The closest thing ‘Murica (I refer to post-invasion’ Murica) has to culture is what’s growing between your toes
Hegseth isn’t gonna like his place in history.
I look forward to seeing him in it.
I want so badly to believe in religion because it would give me peace that monsters like him will get what they deserve. Stupid autistic brain won’t let me without sufficient evidence.
What makes you think that a god who made Hegseth a multi-millionaire and gave him control of the most powerful military on the planet would suddenly hold him accountable when he dies?
Motherfucker would have been smote or turned into a pillar of salt by now if there was a just deity from any religion.
That’s the only argument my brain will accept.
It’s actually well documented that part of the appeal of religion is the psychological need for justice when it’s so clearly absent in the real world. It’s probably part of the reason Christianity spun off from Judaism when it became clear that the Jews weren’t going to get any sort of justice or revenge for their oppression by the Roman Empire. Christianity has a greater emphasis on the afterlife and otherworldly justice than Judaism does. Prior to that, the Hebrews were doing fairly well with their own kingdoms and a focus on prosperity in life rather than waiting for the afterlife was working out pretty well.
Sorry for the tangent, I just think it’s really interesting.
It is! Thank you for sharing, I didn’t know.
Hegseth has likely lied every single day of his adult life, plus when he was learning how to lie as a kid/ teenager.
Hegseth’s only regret will be that he didn’t hurt enough of the ‘right’ people.
He’s a fucking alcoholic, and you know he lies about that to even himself, so your probably right.
To someone like Hegseth, he’s not an alcoholic — that’s woke liberal trashspeak and not a real condition.
Idk if that’s actually what he believes, but I bet I’m not far off from his actual answer.
If he could physically insert himself into the anus of a fat orange shit gibbon, he’ll be just fine with his bitch ass fucjnutted black heart on prominent display as a DEAD FASCIST CUNT
Came here to say this.
