They really are speedrunning fascism this time around. They did have plenty of time to prepare out in the open and gained public support with no long term repercussions.

A lot of people here thinking the USA is speed running fascism here.

No, the USA was always an inspiration to fascism (just ask the remaining Native Americans as an example).

That's why it was able to adopt into it so quick. Not that hard to change a car to gasoline if it was already running on diesel.

Is almost a good analogy, but that's not so easy 😅

Frying fat would have been better, because most older diesels run on it out of the box.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Who gets their frying fat in a box?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well it did take awhile, but it's definitely easier than turning a horse into an electric car

just have to replace the engine, how hard could it be? /s

better analogy would be converting a (relatively modern) gas engine to E85, it's simpler, from what i understand

Before WW2 broke out, the New York Times LOVED Mussolini. They kept pumping out articles about how much of a cool guy he was.

What if we called the original people Americans, and the newcomers immigrant Americans?

Clarity: Native American -> American

American -> Immigrant American

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All life on land is an immigrant is it not?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Not really. Those are human made concepts, so you must start from the inception of the concept of immigration. Good luck finding the exact date, since it predates written language :/

From the same people who scream and bitch and moan about their right of free speech. It's only their right apparently.

What happened to the right to speak the truth?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Their truth.

Their alternative facts.

The actual truth is for snowflakes and liberals to get upset over.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

This. All these losers champion free speech absolutism, and yet every single one of them tries their hardest to shut down dissent.

They know the slower among us will rally around the idea without thinking about it too much.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

It's not the left to speak.

It's a problem that the purge of those offended by nazis/oligarchs hinting too close to naziism is this early.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The Nazi speedrun all around the world scares me. It's like they are competing with climate change, for who gets to kill us first.

Meteorologist fired, picture unrelated.

Had to do some memeological research; that's Yeon-mi Park, a North Korean defector on the Joe Rogan Podcast saying "in North Korea ..."

...because it's really important that meteorology calculations are done with the correct conservative perspective, lest you predict the weather in too woke a way or start believing in climate change and other elitist liberal dogma?

Everything they accuse china and the opposition of doing it something they do or want to do themselves.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Same as russia. Classic faschist strategy.

Her replacement will be predicting a lot of Heil in the future
