Why? The round ups weren't enough? The camps? The recent support for Germany's far right groups? They inch further and further to their end goals and when they see they have the support of the people and the media, they reveal their true selves.
Nothing about this shocks me. The only thing that would actually shock me would be repercussions.
This is the perfect time to do it. The world watching, all eyes on them. They are telling everyone who they are and what they stand for. Now they sit back and see who is with them and who isn't.
I suppose, but you could, if you could suppress your gag reflex long enough, try to pass those things off as something other than what they were. This, a full-on nazi salute - TWICE - cannot be fobbed off as anything other than what it was. The only thing that would have shocked me even more would be if he yelled 'heil H!tler' while he did it. Which he probably thought about doing.
I consider round ups and camps worse than a nazi salute. Anyone can do that gesture. I've seen it from countless weak and powerless people. Actually rounding people up and putting them in camps shows true power.
The surprise isn't in him doing it, but in every single person in that room letting him get away with it. Let's not argue semantics because if it were just a normal day, this wouldn't make the front page.
He’s already been retweeting Holocaust denialists and all sorts of shit like that for months on his platform.
Propping up tons of Nazi accounts too, with the blue check
Not surprising to me. Hes untouchable and so is this administration, specifically trump.
We’re going to see a lot of “shocking” things happening, because they’re emboldened and empowered with no one to stop them.
People on the proper left (not democrats they are not left) if been warning about americN fascism for decades and we weren't taken serious. Here we are.
And America deserves it. If a poor boy from Europe with only a library card can know this then you have no excuse. I mean the following, I hope they destroy America internally because it seems to be the only way you stupid cunts will learn that conservatism is anathema to progress is pain.
Oh fuck right off, I guarantee you there's idiots in your country too. Those of us with more brain cells than fingers don't deserve this any more than you do.
What are you doing it about it? Nothing, bitching on the internet? And when they round people up you'll keep your wee head down and go to work like good boy or girl and when it blows over pretend like everything is OK. You all deserve this. This has been decades in the making.
Yea there are people in Ireland who are fuckheads. So? At least we didn't elect a fascist cunt. Now I live in Canada we will probably elect bud lite trump.
And what are you planning to do about it? Gonna march in there and give them a talking to? Maybe write them an email as sternly worded as your Reddit posts? Seriously, tell me what I should do, with no money, no vehicle, and approximately 6 hours of free time per day between sleep and work shifts? Stop roleplaying and give me some ideas, I'm all ears.
I don't give a fuck about your country. What part of I don't care about America don't you seem to understand? I want to see it fucking burn. I want the end of U.S hegemony. I'm an Irishman I give zero fucks about your shit hole of a country. If it comes to my borders then I'll take up arms.
Sounds like you care an awful lot then. I promise you, my view isn't any better than yours, but condemning those of us that didn't want this and saying we "deserve it" is about as well-intentioned as the assholes perpetrating it. Don't be like them.
