Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

What's really stupid about many of these assholes being mixed race or nonwhite is that they think they will thrive if they side with the white supremacists, and for a time, they will. But they either don't realize, or completely ignore, that hate and bigotry are never satisfied. Eventually, there won't be enough "undesirables" to despise, and that pool will have to expand to eventually include them, resulting in the loss of their wealth and protected status, if not their outright demise. It's never "if", only "when".

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Eventually the racism gets so bad that whites will actually turn on other whites and accuse them of not being white. They did it with the Irish and the Jewish.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

And the Italians. And the Greeks. And the Eastern Europeans.

The issue is using white as the catch all term when in the eyes of a “super racist” it is not. Only the Germanic group counts, so Germans, English / some Scottish, and Scandinavian. Everyone else is something different, jews are either slavic or semitic and the Irish are Celtic.

I can’t speak for all of them, but Fuentes is supposedly White Hispanic and is more Christian Nationalist and normal racist, while Tate is a grifter who latches onto whatever combo of buzzwords gives him views. Ye is just rich and is positioning himself with the Christian Nationalists rather than Super Racists.

And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.

I love the scene in Babylon 5 when Captain Sinclair fights an aincent alien bio robot thing having awoken and started rampaging on the apace station.

The bio robot was created to enforce biological purity in an old alien race and would kill anyone not pure enough.

During the fight scene Captain Sinclair makes a passioned speech about how just how extremism is by definition never satisfied.

I literally watched this episode last night!

I'm doing a Babylon 5 rewatch right now, and it's amazing how relevant it is to this day.

And Ducky brought it on board!

Honestly, I don't think it would be very long at all. This is some real "Jews for Hitler" energy.

Fuck around

The VnJ's founding statutes declared that its purpose was to represent "Germans of Jewish descent, who, while openly acknowledging their descent, feel so completely rooted in German culture and Wesen that they could not but think and feel as Germans.

The goal of the association was the total assimilation of Jews into the German Volksgemeinschaft, self-eradication of Jewish identity, and the expulsion from Germany of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe.

The VnJ rejected Zionism, Marxism, and liberal cosmopolitanism, emphasizing absolute loyalty to the German nation-state.

Find out.

Despite the extreme nationalism of Naumann and his colleagues, the Nazi regime did not accept the Association of German National Jews as a legitimate intermediary.

the VnJ was declared illegal and dissolved on 18 November 1935. Naumann was arrested by the Gestapo the same day, and imprisoned at the Columbia concentration camp. He was released after a few weeks, and died of cancer in May 1939. Most other members and their families were murdered in the Holocaust.

It's almost the idiots that champion this kind of nonsense are willfully choosing to learn absolutely nothing from their elders and/or history.

If that Fourth Turning stuff is accurate, we are right at the 80 year mark since WWII ended.

I find awfully curious to note all the intergenerational warfare being whipped up at the same time, by the way. A constant barrage of hate for anyone that didn't retire from their job at 65 or whatever the fuck, as if that's the problem here.

That is the problem with fascism in general. Going back to the Roman emperors, there is always someone waiting to slit your throat and take your place. Not very “fasce-like” in application. It’s one of the practical reasons that system was abandoned.

Well I hope they get to it before ww3

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Don't kid yourself the pool already includes them.
