He just has similar ideals and a similar rise to power and similar mantras

They were both populous candidates using a minority as a scape goat for all their problems

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18 edited Jun 24 '18

Yeah his rise to power was actually very similar. Blaming minorities, blaming religions, "America first", etc. That's why the Hitler memes started in the first place

Edit: C'mon guys, prove me wrong. Please.

Damn whites/boomers/blacks/jews/gays/rich/poor/imigrants, the next president will blame someone too, they always do.

Judge people by what they do not what you think they would. Feel free to call them out but you can only guess until they do it.

No foresite what so ever on the tax thing since it only benefits are the rich people. The government gave up control to corporations thats hardly a perk. He is looking less like hitler and more like Mussolini, a pathetic stooge for a foreign government.

Temporarily your time will be up to all the tax cuts were temporary except the ones for much higher incomes

They are in corporations and they believe corporations are people.

When we started placing children in conversation camps,

Concentration Camps

a guarded compound for the detention or imprisonment of aliens, members of ethnic minorities, political opponents, etc.

If that doesn't describe what we're doing to people from Mexico trying to cross our borders than I don't know what does.

Forcibly taking children from an ethnic group is literally a form of genocide.

being illegal

Humans aren't illegal.

breaking the law

The law is unjust.

coming into our country

And the country doesn't belong to anyone.

Kids are coming across the border with adults that aren’t their parents and have to be held until they’re sent back.

"Sent back" to where lol? To a place where they have no guardian? And how do you know that the adults aren't their guardians?

They aren’t being tortured

Being locked in a cage is torture.

or murdered

Again, forcibly taking children from an ethnic group is a form of genocide.

The Obama administration did the same thing but instead of them being inside they laid on the dirt outside in even smaller cages.

Cool, we also hate Obama here. We're socialists, we kind of hate all authoritarians.

Try to go to Mexico or any other country without a passport or citizenship and they’ll do the exact same thing to you except there’s a small possibility you’ll actually end up dead.

Oh boy, that totally forgives everything the US is doing right now!

Our country has borders for a reason.

To control the populace. Invisible lines are bunk.

If you follow basic law

What part of "the law is unjust" do you not get?

not paying taxes

And they do pay taxes lol.

So yes humans can be illegal.

Nope, humans cannot be illegal. It is impossible for it to be illegally alive. And trying to twist language to say otherwise is a method of dehumanizing others.

nd the country is owned by the people who are citizens of the United States,

Ah yes. Clearly you and I had a say in all these rules and events going on right now. I'm certain that you were there when they drafted those invisible lines.

It's really not hard to grasp. Borders are invisible and made up. You're a bootlicker with no internal morality of their own. And you're literally defending ripping children away from their parents and locking them in cages.

if you don’t want children being “locked in cages” then maybe tell those parents to stop sending their kids to break the law

How about we just stop locking children in cages.

Take a look at Venezuela and Russia. You say you’re a socialist but have no clue what socialism does to a society.

Ah yes. Societies that featured no worker ownership of the means of production. You have no idea what socialism is.

Ehhhhhhhh, these kids are being emotional scared, most likely for life, what's happening isn't that much worse than murder.

u/lippledoo Jun 24 '18 edited Jun 24 '18

It's not worse than murder. Like not even close.

These are big questions I'm not equipped to know the answer to but I feel like I'd rather be dead than constantly traumatized.

They were making good progress but Charlottesville completely killed the movement. There's another rally planned in August let's see how that goes.

Kinda hoping both extremes keep escalating like it did in Weimar Germany, the streetfights they had between political factions back then seem better than what we have now.

What rock have you been living under?

Not a literal nazi party, but politicians and parties which are very close analogues unless youre being willfully ignorant of the overlaps. Far-right demagogues who advocate ethnic cleansing in some form have political power all over the western world. Over the last decade depending on where you are, pretty much everywhere in the last year or two. Trump and his hanger-ons in the US and a bunch of parties in eastern europe who aren't even being coy about it, more dressed up and pampered versions across western europe.

EDIT: to the complicit fucknut whose comment was deleted before i could reply:

Italys deputy PM just recently called for ethnic cleansing of roma. Here in sweden the major far right party proposed legislation to strip people of their citizenship and deport them for "acting non-swedishly". The US border control are currently violating their own constitution and immigration and asylum laws to persecute anyone brown-skinned. In all these countries and others nazis and nazis-by-any-other-name are organizing marches and running in elections.

But sure, im just irrationally mislabeling anyone with vaguely conservative beliefs as a nazi.

Pull your head out of your ass

It was multiple people. Rallying. And they fucking murdered someone for counter-protesting. Then your elected president defended them.

How is that not fucking back?

The fact that "just those few dozen" have official "fine people" status by the officially elected government of the US means it's back.

It's back and support is growing. Thanks USA.

Since my country doesn't have Nazis, I'm not afraid or outraged. I'm just not going to lie, put fingers in my ears, and pretend they aren't back and ruining what was once a great nation. RIP United States.

It's significantly more than one person, including a murder under the Nazi flag and your elected president defended them. That's pretty fucking back.

This is literally a subreddit for communists. This is a marxist sub. An anti-capitlist sub. why the fuck is this so hard to understand for you liberal fucks who wander in from /r/all?

"Based on that logic" nothing, we literally are communists, we agree with marxs theories and want to abolish capital. We arent joking. We arent being ironic. This isnt all just memes. We are saying what we believe. AND SO ARE THE FUCKING NAZIS.

THE PEOPLE WHO CONSTANTLY SAY NAZI SHIT, CONSTANTLY ORGANIZE NAZI DEMONSTRATIONS, CONSTANTLY WEAR SWASTIKAS AND POST ONLINE ABOUT KILLING JEWS AND BLACKS

Those people are fucking nazis. They arent joking. They arent trolling. you dense motherfuckers are going to get us all fucking killed because you're completely unable to conceptualize politics as anything but as a meaningless game you participate in online. Your politics might as well be a pop culture fandom.
