Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I don't know what I hate more, that these pricks with fingers feel validated enough to be openly stating this kind of shit, or that there is nobody that is in earshot this verbal diarrhea that puts him on the spot over it. Especially in the broader republican side at large. Just letting this happen because it's "your guy" is some weak shit.
Has the US forgotten already that Hitler looked at the US race laws with admiration in Mein Kampf?
This isn't new. This cancer has never been excised, just bandaged over because it became inconvenient to capitalist interests at the time.
As far as I can see, this shift back towards fascism in the US is the response to the rise of China as an economic and military power.
Some of this rise is attributable to the decline of favour of fossil fuels, and China's position as market leader in solar and wind generation technology. This is why Trump has a hate for renewable energy, and such a throbbing micro-peen for oil. The US is being left behind, fast.
Forgotten? Most schools here probably don't even teach that. I would bet that most Americans are not at all aware of this fact.
Many Americans probably think they liberated the entirety of Europe during WW2 with a little help from the British and Canadians.
[Nervous laughter remembering my history class textbooks...and the History Channel specials...and appreciating how games like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty showcased many other countries' contributions to the effort I was never even aware of]
Heh. Heh? :3 lol
I remember really liking, I think it was Call of Duty 4 (?) as a kid because the main character was a Soviet soldier, and it was such a fresh perspective for that kind of game.
Are we thinking of World at War maybe? The one where you were a sniper stealthily sneaking through the Red Square with a Mosin Nagant?
That game was amazing. Along with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, I've played it through multiple times.
MoH:AA also featured a brief stint as the Soviets, too.
Both also made sure we knew the PPSH "pe-peh-sheh" is one of the coolest SMGs ever made. :D
I remember Call of Duty 3 on the Wii had a section where you played as a Polish tank crew!
I didn't know about this until I read it on lemmy a few months ago. And I grew up in deep blue.
Republicans are spineless cowards. Always have been.
For example, Lady G.
I think until I see real Americans taking to the streets on mass, all Americans are spineless cowards.
As an American, you are somewhat right. But there is massive swaths of people who are not even looking or self reflecting at all. Not because they choose to, but because they hear the word government and run. Most are super short sighted. It isn't fear they drives thier actions, it's that they are currently not in danger in thier minds. They will get a rude wake up call, but know there are pleanty of people who will gladly do harm to evil people, but I implore you to understand that physical distance to evil is a huge factor slowing rebellion.
2nd amendment cosplayers been larping this whole time!
This pisses me off beyond all reason.
EDITS: Lol I kept remembering more and more empty platitudes every few seconds...
"Rah rah, sheepdog. Rah rah the fedz are comin. Rabble rabble Ruby Ridge and Waco. Rah rah learn mixed unit tactics to take on the glowies. Muh gunz protec muh free speech. Live free or die. Molon Labe. 1776 no step on snek! Remember the rooftop Koreans! It's our Constitutional right to open carry at protests! The feds are planning death camps for dissenters! An armed society is a polite society! When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty!"
[Armed gangs of LARPing fatasses in Walmart gear and balaclavas start killing Americans in the streets and dragging citizens into unmarked vans to take to blacksites on foreign soil without due process of any kind.]

"...Wut?"
For the record, they were mostly right about all that stuff, on the surface.
But when it comes time to show that American spirit and "nut up or shut up" ...they choose to shut up.
...Or they actively goosestep in line with a pedo-billionaire mass murdering megalomanic nazi who's robbing them and selling them out by the day. . . because that makes sense.
The entire party are fascists. Simple as that.
If you don't stand up to fascism in your own party, you are also a fascist.
If this country had its shit together we'd end the Republican party here and now. There's no room for a fascist party in any functional nation.
