In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups. Representatives from 67 countries gathered in the U.S. on Thursday for a meeting…

Americans will listen to this and then just drive to their shitty jobs they hate like everything is normal. They don’t fucking care.
That’s basically the average the country is left with between the decent people and the tens of millions who voted for idiotic racist rapist fascism three times in a row.
It’s like a third don’t care, a third do care, and a third are enthusiastically in favor.
A third “do care” as long as “caring” requires literally no real effort, risk, or sacrifice on their part. They care performatively, which is as good as not caring at all.
Nazis traditionally labeled people on the opposite end of their political spectrum the enemy and it’s not long before they are disappeared on a consistent basis.
I wonder if the people who are in the place to act are going to be able to stop the next Kristallnacht before it happens.
They already got the concentration camps in place.
every attack is a confession
Zionazi
Herr Müller the Nazi troll was once cursed by a wizard for being too evil.
Hope Miller ending will ressemble Mussolini. Can’t wait to spit on his hanging corpse
Playing this?
These loser fascists are so devoid of talent that it appears they’re just scraping the internet for what we say about them then turning it around to fit their narrative.
We’ve been calling conservatism a cancer for YEARS and he’s just using our own words as theirs.
As always, conservatives/regressives have no talent or creativity. They can only steal what others create or simply destroy.
If this nation actually brings justice back we’ll see this fascist on the chopping block.
This is how narcissists behave in their personal lives as well
All the “best” conservative arguments are just repurposed left-wing arguments that someone ran ctrl+f and replaced each identifying term with it’s counterpart.
The infuriating part is that the reason it works is because left-wing arguments are fundamentally structured better and are more compelling. At some point in the past, a lefty made that argument to the right-winger and they could feel that they were losing the argument, so they quietly adopted the aesthetic of the same argument and later deployed it like they came up with it themselves.
It’s why every right-wing argument has to construct a fiction where their enemy already holds all the power and has been in control for decades. Everyone can intuitively feel that they’re being scammed by an unfair system that’s rigged for the benefit of the wealthy. All right-wingers have to do is convince people that the structure of society can’t be blamed on the people with the power to shape it. They just need people to blame someone they’ve already been convinced to hate. Immigrants, minorities, queers, and anyone else who would tell them who their actual enemies are.
One easy way to tell the difference is that one makes their accusations based on documented facts and actions. The other makes their accusations based on the nature of the human being in question.
Additionally, that perceived nature is usually a caricature of the actual nature in the first place.
Funny, I feel the same about Nazis like him.
“Fascistic” means like fascism. This isn’t like fascism, it is fascism.
You know what?
I know in history class, they said some people ignored Hitler’s rise to power — believing he wouldn’t get very far.
Americans thought that of Trump in 2016. Trump thought that of Trump in 2016.
I’m at a point now where, if you’re spewing fascist shit, you’re a threat. I see you as an immediate threat, because the problem is that we haven’t been taking people like you seriously.
Don’t get fooled a third time.
I see you as an immediate threat, because the problem is that we haven’t been taking people like you seriously.
Wow, welcome to fucking 2003. Are you going to actually do something now or have you tired yourself out already?
I think a lot of people assume we have to be at full blown Nazi genocide before “fascism” or “fascist” can be reasonably used.
Nope.
It’s fascism now. Already. Currently happening. Here in America. Now.
We just haven’t reached the apex…yet.
Embarrassing how these thugs are still assigned to control the country
What confuses me about this administration is that they seem to be aiming to make any political belief or action that does not support them worthy of a lengthy prison sentence.
… but [REDACTED] is also a lengthy prison sentence. So they’ve removed the incentive to not [REDACTED].
In other words… why design a system where your opponents have nothing to lose? They will be pushed towards acting like they have nothing to lose.
Because they want an excuse to implement martial law that their base will accept. An “enemy within” that turns violent is exactly the pretense they’re stoking for this, even if it’s obvious they invented everything that caused it.
I see this sentiment a little more frequently than I see the following that I’ll paraphrase:
“They’re doing this to egg on a response [so we should not give them what they want by pushing back]” is an accidental or intentional PsyOp campaign.
If your opponent threatens to fight you if you fight back, you would choose to surrender before the fight begins?
It’s an incredibly effective PsyOp when arguably the largest downside of anti-MAGA people is their rampant apathy, and that sentiment is like gasoline to a fire. “Oh, the enlightened response is to stay home like I did in 2024? Sick.”
If your opponent threatens to fight you if you fight back, you would choose to surrender before the fight begins?
Nah, but we should wait until we know a democratic method (voting) won’t work to remove the fascists. Once we cross that line, then we can resort to the actual fighting back.
Because the best case scenario here is that they want us to actually fight back so they can impose martial law, but we don’t, then we win by voting them out without any widespread violence and they never got to play their martial law card.
If it doesn’t work, and we realize they’ve corrupted the electoral process and stolen an election, then we grab our pitchforks (guns) and properly do what a bunch of inbred redneck traitors failed to do on Jan 6, because they’re stupid and of course they didn’t have any semblence of an actual plan.
Nah, but we should wait until we know a democratic method (voting) won’t work to remove the fascists. Once we cross that line, then we can resort to the actual fighting back.
You won’t.
Watch.
“We should wait until it is too late. That will be the perfect time to act. Just a little longer…”
Okay, if you say so. Again, accidental or intentional PsyOp.
people are just scared. rightfully so.
I totally get that. It’s certainly why I’m not doing more.
But “let’s not oppose them because they want opposition” is playing more into their hands than opposing them is. I get it’s a Lose-lose but let’s not go for the Lose because we don’t want to lose.
yea im not arguing with that part. Im just at the point where I can’t do what I want, which is to prosecute and properly punish all these fuckers according to the laws of the country they stole.
Not confusing at all, they have built an enormous police, secret police full of chuds. They want things to escalate.

The only constant goal has been to get us to turn on each other. It’s been constant for at least 10 years. I figure “destroy America from within” was Putin’s directive.
I wish we could just blame this on Putin but the truth is our own ruling class have been working towards this for the last 70 years.
Porque no los dos?
The ruling class is generally international. Russia’s oligarchs have more in common with US oligarchs than the US working class has with either of them.
I don’t disagree but the concerted effort was specifically undertaken by the U.S. ruling class to undo the progress made by The New Deal and FDR. The Soviet Union of 70 years ago is drastically different than the Russia of today. Of course oligarchs are going to oligarch and at the end of the day there’s no war but the class war but wealthy Americans specifically set out to fund think tanks to shift American politics to the right.
I feel like it’s important they own this, blaming foreign interference gives the domestic ruling class a pass they shouldn’t get.
I just really dislike the idea of blaming the peanut butter for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
The peanut butter was there first though and organized and actively worked to make the bread softer and more ignorant about salami and pepperjack.
Jellys arrival mighti’ve been the death knell but if they’re ever put against a wall, the peanut butter should be first in line.
We’re basically in agreement though and I’m just splitting hairs, ultimately there’s no war but the class war.
Temporary allies
That’s exactly what they want. If they have nothing to lose, they fight back, then the right can point at that and use it as confirmation of their originally bullshit claims. Fascism 101.

Oh, sorry, don’t mistake my explanation for complacency. I’m all for fighting these fascist pieces of shit by any means necessary. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t, might as well do.
Label me a terrorist? I’ll show you one.
Did it hit differently in its original German?
Our legal systems don’t work. Our jury trials don’t work
Oh boy.
Not just the United States, the whole world.
Miller is 100% pure Nazi. De-nazification needs to happen soon.
He needs the wall. Now.
Indeed, the racist sack of shit is Joseph Goebbels reincarnated.
