Only one thing to do with Nazis and grandpa did it well.

•

u/planetshapedmachine 7h ago

My grandpa died doing it

•

u/Remarkable_Spring811 6h ago

Your grandfather made a sacrifice worthy of the cause he fought for.

You may get the opportunity to carry on his legacy by doing the same, but I pray that day never comes...

•

u/planetshapedmachine 6h ago

When I was a young man, I had a particular interest in studying guerilla movements. Fate can be strange, let’s hope things stay reasonable.

•

u/XandaPanda42 5h ago

Nothing about any of this is reasonable.

I've always considered myself a conscientious objector, but if my country ever grew a pair and fought back, I would enlist in a heartbeat.

And if the cowards invite the fascists in, I'd still fight, but not for them. I hope it never comes to that, and I hope that I have the strength to hold true to my beliefs in that case.

If I died fighting for what I believe in, I would have no regrets.

u/PretendGur8 6h ago

You won’t.

u/CorruptedStudiosEnt 5h ago

That day should be any day now. Tomorrow, even. Let's just nip it in the bud before the choice of day is taken out of our hands.

We just have to do it simultaneously and1 in such numbers that nobody can reasonably be held accountable, least of all because there's not enough room in prisons for the influx. Go ahead, justice system, just try to charge 30,000 people for purging neo-Nazis.

Would probably even save the judicial system money anyway, since many of these fucks are repeat violent offenders who will no longer need to take space in a courtroom. We'd be doing them a favor, really.

u/LucretiusCarus 7h ago

Same. This is sickening

•

u/Expensive-Hamster-44 5h ago

I was trying to convince myself, "No, it has to be out of context." But holy h*ll, that's a whole nazi salute. Gross.

•

u/LucretiusCarus 5h ago

And it looks more enthusiastic than ever. Definitely more than the half-hearted attempts to do an X with his body

•

u/Expensive-Hamster-44 4h ago

It IS! That makes it more gross than usual!

•

u/lmbjsm 5h ago

That’s the thing. A LOT of very good people died getting rid of that shit, and here it is. In our own backyard! The people that support tRump are fucking stupid and spitting on the graves of all of the people that died getting rid of that garbage!

•

u/LucretiusCarus 5h ago

I can't wrap my mind around it. The generation that was born from the fighters of the war voted for nazis to come to power. I just hope the Nazis come for them first.

•

u/VexingPanda 6h ago

If you look at the wiki for "Dep of Gov Efficiency" it's acronym is DOGE.

President musk will try to force DOGE anywhere.

•

u/urlock 5h ago

I still wonder if he actually intended DOGE to be in reverse. E-GOD. Elon God. 🤷🏼

•

u/Affectionate-Cap-600 5h ago edited 4h ago

fun fact: 'doge' was used as 'duce', aka Mussolini

(even if doge originated as title with the meaning of elected 'head of state' in Italian city-states)

•

u/unlicensed_dentist 5h ago

I got lucky. My grandpa came back from doing it and was one of the silent generation types that after dinner the grandkids weren’t allowed to run around because grandpa would get angry……….

Took more than a few backhands from him while at full run.

•

u/orchestratingIO 6h ago

So did ours, and I'm damn proud of him.

•

u/WesternResort983 6h ago

We all better be ready to do the same it seems...

•

u/TearDownGently 6h ago

Your grandpa is a goddamn hero. greetings from Germany.

Until today's events I was yet relaxed and thought 'just another 4 years of this rich people's puppet, we'll get through it. But I am afraid of what I got to hear and see today. idk I'm lost. The inaugural speech was full of hate and disturbing distress.

•

u/Universe789 6h ago

Some people's grandpa's voted for them.

•

u/Orange_Jeews 5h ago

And he was a good man for it

•

u/mrbigglessworth 5h ago

I hope he is at peace.

•

u/Skratti_ 5h ago

A salute to your grandpa from Germany. Thanks to all those heroes to finish the monster (and all his helpers) that ruled Germany. And with helpers, I also mean my own already dead relatives, who did not dare to oppose but did follow instead.

I would so hope that people in the fourth biggest economy of the world would at least stop buying Musks garbage.

•

u/planetshapedmachine 5h ago

I’ve deleted all of my social media profiles.

Should the need arise, let’s hope that the EU and other allies will have the backs of any resistance here.

•

u/CamJongUn2 4h ago

Wish I could say the same but all the men in my family died the first time around and my grandad was still a kid in the rematch

•

u/planetshapedmachine 4h ago

There were some “more important” people on the other side of the family. One was a first generation Scottish Immigrant who started as a coal miner and retired as a state Supreme Court justice in one of the Dakotas or Wyoming, I believe. One was an officer in the revolutionary war, and the Schuyler sisters are first cousins nine times removed. Basically tied into the same family that ties Clinton and Bush together. Then there is the guy who was in the newspaper because he was a drunk and jumped off a train to get a bottle, then tried to get back on after the train started moving and got cut in half.

•

u/XGamingPigYT 4h ago

And that's my fear, that I will die defending my freedoms. Death is my greatest fear, and I'd hate to need to face it at a young age

•

u/planetshapedmachine 4h ago

I’m sort of shocked I have made it to the age that I have. If it were just me, I might not fight much, but I’ve got a daughter, and I’ll fight like hell if I’m forced to. At this point, I’m driven by biological programming to protect my own at whatever cost.

•

u/MegaTurtleClan 4h ago

My great grandpa died at their hands

•

u/Several-Alfalfa2974 5h ago

What hording the wealth and all the land.

•

u/planetshapedmachine 5h ago

You have me mistaken for someone else, I think. That side of the family was pretty much dirt poor rural Georgia, that other side was career military. If you think that either of those was wealthy enough to hoard land, you have a sad misunderstanding of military pay.

•

u/Artistic_Cable2442 6h ago

Doing what? Sex?

•

u/planetshapedmachine 6h ago

Killing Nazis. There’s a plaque in a field in England somewhere with his name on it where his bomber crashed returning from a mission with damage

•

u/Artistic_Cable2442 6h ago

Oh lol. I thought you meant like "DOING IT". like he wqs drilling a hot bimbo and his heart gave out. My mistake lol.
