Not every exasperated petty bourgeois could have become Hitler, but a particle of Hitler is lodged in every exasperated petty bourgeois.

hitler-detector this thing keeps going off whenever I browse non- local, what's up with that

It may seem like a workable solution but don't take the batteries out. It's like taking the batteries out the smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm. You get a bit of peace and quiet but the problem gets bigger.

of course, lebensraum drew straight from manifest destiny, USA and its lapdogs have yet to answer for their crimes

Yet to answer for, yet to pay restitution, yet to even truly liberate us even

hey have you watched "the man in the high castle" it's about alternative universe in which the nazis won, can you imagine if that happened, can you imagine if they just took over an entire continent and murdered almost everyone on it and installed a fascist christian ethnostate and went about playing world police for 80 years, that would be real fucked up

My favorite part about the book is that there's an alt-alt-history novel the characters will sometimes read, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy where instead the Allies win the alt-history version of WW2. In the alt-alt-history, after the Allies win they basically do a positive imperialism where they conquer Africa and China, somehow eliminate poverty, spread the New Deal worldwide, then the US and UK get into a cold war that the UK wins.

I took it to mean that PKD thought even in a liberal's wildest imagination, even when under the direct threat of fascism, they'd write a book about how they almost win and then lose.

Inside a westerner there are two wolves

One is Mussolini, the other is Hitler

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kind of a disservice to commie westerners, like me (please forgive me for the heinous crime of being polish 😭😭😭), who saw the light and dropped Mussolini and Hitler. It was a hard and long poop, the one you have to take your shirt off on, but they got out.

There is also a potential Stalin in every one of them 😎

The willingness not only to dehumanise all Russians at the drop of a hat is astounding in itself, but to then go on and assert just how many Ukrainian lives we're willing to drop in a blender to STICK IT TO PUTLER is next level. The complete willingness for bloodshed on both sides is strange. The contest seems to be just how many countries of people can they support the genocide of simultaneously.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

also very high odds all of these people thought Ukraine was in Russia until very recenly

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

save for the few who experienced the interactive documentary known as "stalker shadow of chernobyl"

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

The lines from politicians (of both sides of the american political party) about how happy they are they get to kill russians without any American lives lost is the most telling thing, they don't give a shit about anyone in Ukraine. Lives lost don't mean a single damn to them.

Any Ukranian who sees that shit should realise that the west doesn't care about them for a second. They are in for a rude awakening if they think the average person will see a single american dollar to provide water, food or blankets. Incidentally, all things Evil China has provided to them already.

Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa

I have talked a good deal about Hitler. Because he deserves it: he makes it possible to see things on a large scale and to grasp the fact that capitalist society, at its present stage, is incapable of establishing a concept of the rights of all men, just as it has proved incapable of establishing a system of individual ethics. Whether one likes it or not, at the end of the blind alley that is Europe, I mean the Europe of Adenauer, Schuman, Bidault, and a few others, there is Hitler. At the end of capitalism, which is eager to outlive its day, there is Hitler. At the end of formal humanism and philosophicrenunciation, there is Hitler

For the past few days I have done nothing but lurk hexbear struggle sessions and sh.itjust.works threads involving them and honestly, I believe every liberal (at least from there) does not just have a potential of hitler but a particle of hitler inside of them. Just like Trotsky wrote or something lmao

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

'Potential' Hitler? At least half of them proudly wear their armbands on their shoulders

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Don't be a liar. Liberals only wear it when in private or if it's socially acceptable.

Its getting to the point that I'm starting to like seeing these idiot liberal comments, not because of the contents but because of the sheer ridiculousness of their perspectives. I think if we ban them we should leave their comments up just for the spectacular breakdown that usually happens in the replies, its gold imo.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They get too uppity and irritating in the comments, we post bait on federation, they get hooked, we laugh, the natural order is maintained.

Can someone explain this please?

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 year ago (3 children)

in addition to ignoring the context behind the war, Western online liberals tend to encourage sacrificing as many Ukrainian lives as "necessary" in order to regain control over pieces of land (primarily the Donbas and Crimea), regardless of what their long-time inhabitants want and what the Ukrainians forced to join the army want

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thanks for also being the first other person I've seen refer to the commonly-accepted-but-fucked-up-practice of Ukrainians being forced to join the army against their will. Any male over 18 gets stripped from their families at the border when trying to flee the country, then forced to help kill Russians (and other Ukrainians) or face death - which is seriously awful.

I've seen it mentioned here a few times, it's even more egregious than a standard draft

Oh fuck me, I thought we canibalized :rat-salute: from hexbear :sadness:

But I do like it's dithered style. Very much actually, it's got great vibes just off of that.

At this point I look at USA and all of their puppets westoid or not as bunch of nazi/fascist hordes, no distinction at this point, especially in Europe, just look at the way these people talk.
