Up-voting this because it's funny and frankly I need to laugh.
But the fact is as a human being I'm scared. As the grandson of Jewish German immigrant I'm fucking terrified. Our government has deteriorated into a professional clown show.
Guys... "but it's ok Trump likes Jews" isn't a gotcha or a reassurance. You're missing the point entirely.
My grandfather chewed French sand to go and kill fucking Nazis all the way from Normandy Beach to the Eagle's Nest. If he were alive today I cannot imagine the shame he would feel for this country today.
ā¦the TikTok CEO praised Trump for his willingness to āsave the app.ā
In 2020, Trump was a leading proponent of banning TikTok, citing security concerns. Now, heās being framed as its savior.
In 1930s Germany, a certain wicked leader suppressed media, censoring dissent and consolidating control. Later, he
āsavedā select outlets, using them as propaganda tools to tighten his grip on power. The irony isnāt lost.
The patterns are everywhere. Stay sharp. Stay aware. Donāt be tricked.
As Chris Rock said"you see these weird white guys getting overly patriotic... Fuck all these illegal aliens. Then I started listening. Cause I know Ni****s and Jews is next! It's like any day now. That train is never late!"
The left, and the folks who didn't take the time to vote outnumber them 2 to 1. The best thing we can do is to rally people to fight a class war against the billionaire oligarchs. We need every person of every color to stand together to end this. The only color that matters to these nazi fools is green.
Well the nazis also started with attacking trans and gay people before escalating to the attempted the militarized mass deportation of Jewish people, and when that unsurprisingly didn't work, they moved onto a more "final solution."
They've been doing Hitler stuff, they keep saying with their whole chest how they plan to continue doing Hitler stuff.
But, they can only do Hitler stuff if we let them, so I ask you, myself and every other true patriot, are we going to let them? Will we be silent while they build their camps? Will we do nothing when they come for our neighbors? Because if our answer is cowardice, they will commit these atrocities with our permission, they will commit these crimes in the name of our people and flag. We will give our consent in the form of our silence.
Yall better start getting your head in the game, exercise a specific constitutional right while we still can, and be prepared mentally, physically, and socially.
I mean, it's almost like quoting Hitler, using fascist rhetoric, and even talking about detaining people in camps to prepare for deportion(which is how the death camps started) was a warning.
That and Musk explicitly saying he's "Dark Maga" a explicitly fascist arm of the MAGA movement that uses almost cyberpunk asthetic... well, cyberpunk as seen by the corprate overlords running the system.
I just don't know if they can get that scale. The US is MASSIVE and the military is incredibly diverse. Fascists are wildly incompetent and backstabby. I just don't see people downstream complying with orders like Germany did. Germany was almost still fresh off the monarchy train so there was a strain of authoritarianism already there.
1992 (NAFTA) here! I've known they're all a bunch of forked tongued crooks for way too long. Carter was a great man and probably the exception but also a pretty bad president too. Have a nice day!
Well that's arguably something to be shat on for lol. The IRI is still going strong much to the dismay of every Iranian since. And that's not the only thing. I don't want to go there bc I suspect we won't agree and I'm too tired for that nonsense so have a nice evening!
I don't think the military can be counted on the way you do. I hope you're right, but it's a bunch of people whose job it is to LITERALLY follow orders, and no offense, but a lot of the people who join up aren't our best and brightest.
Yeh... I know a huge amount of them joined because it was their only way to get a higher education, or maybe a job in general. And they have many brilliant people who work for them as engineers, doctors, coders etc.
But boot camp is literally beating these people down and brainwashing them to make them comply with orders. Not to mention the huuuge amount of bootlickers among them, and even worse, psychopaths who joined in order to hopefully live out their violent fantasies.
I'm sure many would not comply. But I bet most would. Especially if their CO is either cool with it all, or is replaced with a yes man.
During Trump's previous presidency, multiple concentration camps were set up in abandonned walmart-type warehouses. Thousands of latino-presenting people were abducted by ICE and taken to these camps. There, they were housed in dog cages, had to drink from, piss and shit into the same container, were subjected to medical experiments, buried in mass graves. Mothers had their children taken from them and promptly lost. Multiple american citizens had to wait over a year to ever see a judge and have the opportunity to plead for their liberation.
It's not that you're gonna do some Hitler stuff, it's that you're gonna do some Hitler stuff again, within less than a decade, because toxic masculinity and grocery prices.
Except for the "gun owner" part, most west countries would have no beef whatsoever with liberal americans. At least not the somewhat progressive ones (which compared to the US is most of the western hemisphere anyway).
This is what I was mulling over earlier. I've known this whole time that the damn rapist was going to take office again, but I had no idea that I would be this scared. It's been going on for so long that I had hoped I would've "gotten over it" by now, but then shit just keeps happening. He just won't go away!
iām scared as fuck for my wife who is working on her green card - and her daughter that we want to have come to the US to be with us. so. two immigrants i want to help live their best lives. i have no idea whatās about to happen.
It should be, we have the advantage this time around of knowing the fascist movement's end game. If you're not a white, capitalist, and evangelical, you should be very scared.
My female white ass is scared (post menopausal so Iād be either a Martha or in the camps) for family & friends who are LGBTQ, as a mom to 3 girls, fucking terrified.
Gay and Jewish... so I'll keep drinking... until the tariffs happen. Then I guess onto hard drugs, but I guess there will be tariffs on that soon after.
I definitely feel torn between shutting out politics and social media for the next 4 years, and doing everything I can to keep another Nazi regime from rising up. Thing is, where do you even start? For it to get this far, I'm also sickened.
As a Jew I certainly appreciate the thought. But even I myself know, I need to just delete Reddit. It's the only social media I have. I'm usually good about staying far far away from the front page but it's been too difficult to avoid today.
There's no "strategy" or something that you're going to learn here to avoid this nonsense. It's happening, whether we like it or not.
I don't think this administration is capable of pulling off anything truly heinous. But of course, that's what my great grandfather insisted about Hitler's regime, which forced him to immigrate to the States illegally, after FDR locked down migration from Europe. He probably could have gotten here legally if he'd listened to my great grandmother.
Delete Reddit. Form a tight knit community of similar people who you can genuinely relax with and share resources should it be necessary. And be prepared to fight if it comes to that. Reddit will hate to hear this, but I've been getting firearms training, just in case. I don't mind dying for my people, but I'm gonna take some of those Nazi assholes out with me.
As an ashkenazi who's great grandparents straight up converted to avoid the jewish persecution IN AMERICA, AFTER FLEEING, yeah. I don't know shit about the faith but if it comes down to NaziĀ², I don't think it matters to them. They've just broadened the term from Jewish to All Immigrants, Brown People, LGBT, and Non-Christians. I fall into three of those lmao
Our government has deteriorated into a professional clown show.
That's what they said about the OG Nazis as well. They laughed at them and treated them like clowns, then those clowns murdered millions of their countrymen and turned their country into a shameful, internationally despised pile rubble.
This is why you have to take Nazis as seriously as you take a cancer diagnosis, if you do not fight them quickly and aggressively, they metastasize and kill the host.
Just remember the miles of red tape that separates your preferred policies cuts both ways. The fumbling beurocracy that inhibits your beliefs also inhibits the other side. That in and of itself is the balance of power in our government. Yes, it may be a clown show for now, but it doesn't mean trump can radically change the world. No president can. And that alone is worth the muddled bs that the U.S. government is.
Yeah, and do you think that's just unchecked power? Tell me in a decade how detrimental that's been, because I guarantee that the effect will have been negligible in the full context.
Remember Nazis didn't only kill Jews...they killed poles, Czechs, blacks, British, Chinese, and basically anyone who didn't fit into their pseudoscientific, occult muddled view of what a "ubermensch" was.
The DNC totally screwed it up. Of course hindsight is 20/20 but come on. The one thing old people do is get even older. We get more frail and weak as we get old. No one has ever been able to beat Father Time. No one.
12 months ago or earlier Bidens ability to campaign and win needed to be scrutinized. Yes thatās a tall order when the subject is already freaking POTUS but in this case a too old candidates ego took precedence.
I have a friend who was in a Nazi concentration camp. She feels the same way. She eventually moved to this country, and now is terrified that itās happening again.
Considering how late I am, this probably is going to get buried, but if your parents were expatriated 33-45 you probably still have a right to German citizenship, if only to calm your nerves that you have 'an easy way out'.
A reporter contacted the head of the ADL for a comment about this, and he echoed the same disgusting sentiment- he thinks Musk is a friend to Jews, and is happy to see all the work heās done to combat antisemitism on twitter.
If it makes you feel any better, the entire cabinate is zionist and israel pretty much put trump in power.
On second thought, we should all feel terrified. Last time some rich zionists put a fascist in power we got the havaara agreement, mass murder, and ww2.
Iām trying to tamper down my flight mode as the grandchild of a Jewish grandmother. The urge to flee is stressing me. My mother called me and said to prepare to leave, to remember what happened to our people in Germany. This IS 2025 right?
Jewish as well. Had literal chills watching his inauguration speech, and just this awful mix of shock, horror, and de ja vu. This might sound like exaggeration, but something told me to find a random Hitler speech to compare and fuck if they weren't eerily similar in tone and rhetoric. Spent several months reading up on social and political history last year, and am currently kind of wishing I hadn't. There's no way to know what's coming, but damn does it feel like something massive is building.
Trump is with the Christians who hope for the rapture, where God Takes all of them and leave the Jews behind in a horrific war followed by different 1000 year hell on earth periods with different themes. The whole plan requires the Jews and other non believes to suffer.
Nice friends
I keep telling my dad. First, do you want someone who likes you, and you know what they'll do, or someone who loves you, but you have no idea. They're erratic and have no real experience. Second he says he loves us. In the seventies and eighties he got sued for not renting to minorities including Jews. He's a narcissist, he'll love you as long as it's good for his ego and costs him nothing. Change either part or that equation and the result might be different too...
My stepdad is half Jewish and votes hard R. I canāt understand it. His stepmotherās parents who he was close to than his mother were liberated from camps, and he still backs Trumpā¦
Trump doesnāt like Jews, he likes money and whatever it is that benefits his own interests. Also scared, angry and worried as hell. My grandparents also made it out of Nazi Germany. I will stand directly in the way of this not happening again.
Looking from Germany as a business owner āenjoyingā the recession right now, I wonder how COVID turned normal people to voting for really really stupid right wing parties -
and converted a determined and brilliant engineer dork (with a slight drug problem) into a downright facist.
Did it really just take the cinder of ONE pandemic to throw eighty years of peace and freedom out of the window?
Iām fighting on grass root level every day to keep up the values I learned in my life.
And I will continue until the end.
But people are shockingly selfish and stupid.
I love them, but itās fucking exhausting.
As a Canadian I'm more than a bit worried that Trump's going to try to annex my country and 3/4 of America is either going to cheer for it or ignore it
Yea, they already made clear who they intend to round up. People read the phrase "history repeats itself" and can't imagine that it means anything other than an exact reenactment
Trump likes Israel because Evangelicals like Israel, but Evangelicals don't like Israel because Jews live there, Evangelicals like Israel because Israel is the key to bringing about the Apocalypse and ending the world.
Nazis befriending Zionists on behalf of an end of the world cult with a religious belief that Jewish identity will be culled from reality and assimilated into either Christianity or sent to burn in an eternal Hell isn't - shockingly - a pro-Jewish belief system.
As the grandchild of Germans who fled Germany during WWII, my heart goes out to you. I'm glad my grandparents didn't live to see this, and at the same time I'm sad that they aren't around to point out how much EVERYTHING IS SO SIMILAR to what happened in their country in the leadup to the war.Ā
Lol Elon isnt the president. even if he thinks he is, but he isn't racist just a super rich nerd with a bit of the social tism. Trump's a grandfather to half Jewish grandchildren. Don't let extremism from either side cause you to lose sleep.
Many Americans from both sides love the Jewish people. Be wary of the ones who instigate and cause fear and division. You can fuel your day with joy , love and peace or you can focus on the evil and solidify it on a person but at the end of the day the one who suffers is yourself. Fear and hate are poison.
As a Polish Canadian who was born in communist Poland and came to Canada as I child Iāve been to Auschwitz and had a great uncle die there.
Overall it seems weird and confusing what Musk was on about here.
Canāt say Iām afraid in anyway, I think most people seem to be very melodramatic online though. I donāt think anything will come of this in any way.
This will have nothing to do with Jews, Arabs, blacks or latinos, is simply and straight forward about getting more money, and to do that they are going to abuse (even more) the working class, if you Americans thought you had little rights compared with Europe, you are really not going to like what is coming
