You know it’s bad when Bob the Angry Flower has to be the voice of reason
It’s terrifying how many are proud to do this. Especially on nextdoor or Facebook with their full names
I live around a lot of these people and I’m always confused by where the attitude is even coming from. We rarely even encounter immigrants around here and when we do they’re usually working in some kind of service industry job just trying to live their life, maybe harder to communicate with due to language barriers, but to hear these people talk you’d think they’re rampaging through the streets. Like I can think of one instance where an illegal immigrant that worked at a Mexican restaurant here raped a woman. That’s as far as I’m aware the only one that’s been an issue and it was over a decade ago.
They get their false propaganda on TV and Facebook and TikTok and YouTube and in person at church.
(about german supporters of nazism) The other nine, decent, hard-working, ordinarily intelligent and honest men, did not know before 1933 that Nazism was evil. They did not know between 1933 and 1945 that it was evil. And they do not know it now. None of them ever knew, or now knows, Nazism as we knew and know it; and they lived under it, served it, and, indeed, made it.
Not if US fascism continues to reign for the next 50 years. Then she will proudly brag to her grandchildren that she was among the pioneers who supported the Great Leader in his early struggles against decadent Western socialism. And her grandchildren will listen in awe and wonder at how brave their grandmother was in fighting to get rid of all the socialist islamist terrorists.
Fascism is inherently self-destructive, so that won’t happen. But the collapse will cost a lot of human lives.
Is it though? Mussolini ruled in Italy 21 years, Hitler ruled for 15. And the reason both of them fell was on account of the very concerted effort of an extremely powertul alliance of foreign powers waging unrelenting war against them both for years. Otherwise they would have ruled to their natural deaths, and their heirs would have taken over.
What happened during WWII is not a scenario which is likely to occur in present day US. There is no powerful alliance going to wage unrelenting war against the US fascist government. On the contrary China and Russia applauds what is going on.
Your comment is a good example of why history doesn’t repeat itself, even though much of it is very recognisable.
I believe that the climate will get the last laugh.
Nah, that’s micro plastics, but the climate will get us most of the way there
Fascist regimes never last 50 years.
Before someone says “Franco”, no. Even Orwell had doubts about Franco being a real fascist, and historians since then trend the same way.
Why does fascist regimes never last 50 years? Because a powerful alliance of countries relentlessly vanquish them, historically. No such powerful alliance is present today. You should not make historical rules of whay is not rules at all. You have learnt the wrong lesson from history.
The extra craziness are the ones thst were refugees themselves or children of. I know one guy like this and another who’s parents are refugees who seems to not grasp how much his life would be different.
The real craziness is that some 97% of current US citizens (latest statistics put Native American population around 9.7 million, or approx. 2.9% of the population), are essentially children of immigrants. And the very same people boasting about being X percent German/Italian/Irish/etc., are now demanding that similarly immigrants to be deported? The whole American landscape of nationality/ethnicity and immigration status is just laughable.
I was at the bar the other day… a woman was talking about how she’s 2nd generation Italian and 1st generation Scottish.
5 minutes later she was talking about Trump deporting immigrants and how they need to be off Obamacare and snap.
Just mind blowing.
Yep. Reminds me of a comic with angry 'murican shouting for immigrants to leave and a native american telling him something like “cool, when are you leaving?”
people boasting about being X percent German/Italian/Irish
White, white, white…I see a pattern of what they’re really against here.
Of course, Italians didn’t used to be considered white, and the Irish weren’t the good kind of white, but that changed decades ago.
Tbh, the white=good, brown/black=bad type of racism is a very regionalized thing that’s super big in the US but e.g. not as prevalent in Europe.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, Eurpean racists hate black people too, but they hate white Polish/Seribian/Albanian/Romanian/Bulgarian/Turkish/… people easily just as much, and they hate white-looking muslims even more than black people.
Racism and xenophobia is the same thing (as evidenced by both things actually using the same term in most european languages). It’s an “us vs them” thing that separates the majority from any random minority that they can oppress. In the US the minorities were mostly people from Africa, Asia or the Americans, and they had to band together with all sorts of European people to become a majority, but in Europe each country has their own majority and thus they hate on the foreigners from 50km over the border in either direction.
Yeah, importing black people specifically as slaves is very deeply rooted in US culture in a way that it isn’t in Europe.
The people holding those type of signs don’t care or don’t think about the future. They just care about their feelings and the hate.
It’s nice to know that Bob the angry flower is still doing things. I met at SDCC like 20 years ago.
I could get behind that sign. ALL. Everyone but Native Americans need to be sent back where they came from. “Hispanics” are native Americans. They were in the Americas for 10,000+ years.
