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.

On Thursday night, the president of the Heritage Foundation — the MAGA right’s leading think tank — welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition. You might think I am exaggerating. I assure you I am not. The Nazi in question here, podcaster Nick Fuentes, has described Adolf Hitler as “really fucking cool” and said “perfidious Jews” must “be given the death penalty” after “we take power.” And on Thursday, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts released a video defending this person’s inclusion in polite-right politics: describing Fuentes not as a hate-monger to be banished from the decent right, but as a coalition member whose view of Jews-as-evil-traitors should be politely debated.

Remember when Godwin's Law was suspended, and yet, lots of people continued (continue) as if it never even happened?

Still clutching their pearls when people call the conservatives Nazis?

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

They have secret police kidnapping people. They are literally following the third Reich playbook They are Nazis we either start fighting back or die

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Considering how the orange ~~man~~ baby is filling the military with his own goons, the rest of the world can't do anything about it. You'll have to sort yourself out. Imma just make since popcorn and watch the show from Europe.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Well facism is spreading like a cancer across the world and your neoliberal politicians are in bed with the same oligarchs that run our surveillance state and mass incarceration system so it’s heading right for you

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The American military has always been compromised if these people. The difference is the attack on leadership

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Europe will be next. The Heritage Foundation and the Opus Dei have plans for this side of the Atlantic too, in cooperation with Russia.

I say this as a European.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

No doubt. I just hope they'll fail. I've always said that there's a high probability of me killing myself before I die of old age, but if shit comes to shove, I'll happily become a matyr by standing up for others.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah but all anyone is going to do is peaceful protests.

[–] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They refuse to acknowledge their 'protests' are organized by the same people they claim to be protesting, the same ones that prefer peaceful because it doesn't disrupt anything and preserves the status quo

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Downvoted by shitty cowards.

[–] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

They have this delusion that if they were to get rid of trump everything would be back to normal. Instead of protesting the machine they protest a cog in it, a clog that easily replaced

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 32 points 1 month ago

Of course they're going to defend him

They're the same

[–] rhubarb@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (3 children)

As bad as this is, and it is bad, we only need to look at Alex Jones and his open acceptance of Fuentes to see that it’s over for the Heritage Foundation. Nick worms his way into favor and now any view left of full out Nazi is too liberal. They have sealed their own fate allowing this Nazi into the fold.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The heritage foundations plan is being implemented more everyday I’d say that they are doing pretty good. I think they were always Nazis the mask is just off now. The divide in the party is over Isreal. Fuentes is an old school Nazi who hates Jews but Tucker is anti Zionism and Isreal funneling money into our politics. While I understand Tucker is wrong on so many issues he’s really not on the issue of Isreal. I don’t think the people in charge are going to mess with Jewish people that are zionists but the ones who are protesting the war are just going to be lumped in with “antifa”. They are Nazis but they are going to prioritize going after brown people and anyone who dissents

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

We will see. I’d love to see them tear themselves apart but I feel like this will only stir them up more. Give a Nazi a megaphone and Trumps stamp of approval and you get more Nazis.

[–] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

HF isn't going anywhere, despite it being viewed as a Republican think tank most of the legislation written by them has been bipartisan

[–] fort_burp@feddit.nl 21 points 1 month ago

So funny to see White America discovering America is fascist.

welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition. You might think I am exaggerating. I assure you I am not.

So many Americans have exactly zero historical awareness about where many Nazis went after the Third Reich was dissolved. There was Operation Paperclip, but they also went to a country that recently got a $40 bn gift from the Orange Führer.

blah blah doomed to repeat it

[–] nonmemeaccount@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Heritage foundation are Nazis and quite frankly they're the goddamn terrorists they keep warning people about

[–] ATS1312@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Their name is both a Confederate and Nazi dogwhistle, and Im tired of pretending its not.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I feel like im in one of those movies where the nazis move underground and have a super complex plan to eventually take over america and start a fourth reich and it happening right now.

[–] atmorous@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Very likely this is what happened. They are so bitter about their loss that they have been plotting to take the whole country down for all these years since that point

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Conspiracy Theorists couldn't beat reality.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 9 points 1 month ago

A Nazi think tank defends literal Nazis.

Wow you know it’s bad when Rafael “Ted” Cruz, of all people, is calling you a coward.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You can't call yourselves a "think tank" if all your ideas are stupid.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

sure they can. that's the thing - all the thinking stays in the tank. never leaves.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

they're not a think tank like fish tank, where they have a bunch of beautiful flashy ideas that people want to see, and more like a war tank, where they shoot their ideas at (what they view as) hostile populations

Will the Jewish MAGAts and Israel agree with this shit? If yes, zero fucking sympathy.
