Should everyone be proud of where they come from? Probably not.

We've seen this kind of thing before. This is the Southern Lost Cause propaganda strategy as applied to Nazi Germany.

If you've never been exposed to "The Lost Cause" in school, or haven't yet come to realize what that really means, I urge you to read up on it now.. It wears a thin veil of well-reasoned, even compassionate dialogue, but conveniently leaves out the bigger picture of why and what prompted all this in the first place. Those deploying this kind of speech are like a housecat: rolling over and displaying their belly while seemingly "taking the L", but are actually poised to harm by quietly aligning themselves with the Cause's original narrative.

While we're a far cry from erecting bronze statues and renaming streets in the name of Nazism, I caution everyone to identify this kind of speech wherever you see it. So, stamp it out, decry it as revisionist, and don't let up. Render it impolite, uncouth, and socially unacceptable in any context. Unchecked, this kind of thing slowly creeps in, eventually worming its way into textbooks and everyday chit-chat.

It's almost like their morality is just another tool they'll use or cast aside as needed whenever it's politically expedient or something.

Conservatives are bad people. That's it.

Most what I learn from the USA nowadays is very negative and it seems that some people are totally off the rails over there.

It seems that the general quality of living is way worse than in EU.

Is the reality as bad as the news and these kinds of statements make it look like? We have higher taxes but good quality schools and healthcare is included. How is America average buying power after those?

It is very worrying that a country that often has been viewed as the lighthouse of the western culture seems to struggle so much.

In August 2026, an old post made by Oberacker resurfaced. The post, from 2015, was a Veterans Day memorial post for his grandfather, who died in the Battle of the Bulge fighting for Nazi Germany. Oberacker, who had served on the state Senate’s Republican antisemitism working group, came under fire for the post. Oberacker later said, "Looking at it through the prism of today, totally different story. Having been on the antisemitism task force for the Senate Republicans, I would look at it a little bit differently now."

Oh, he'd look at it differently now. He didn't say he shouldn't have made the post, or that he wouldn't do it again. Just that he'd squint a little harder, I guess.

We SALUTE and HONOR Nazis!

-JEW LOVERS according to AIPAC!

Hate to break it to you, most Germans grandparents were at least collaborators. The NSDAP r member cards opened my eyes who of my family was a member. My beloved aunt for. example was a member.

Fascism isn't widely recognized or condemned from within a fascist society.

Literally a bit from the Office

What happened with the co-chair of the DSA?
