I think we have to keep in mind that a lot of monuments were, in their time, partially demolished and rebuilt repeatedly over hundreds of years, with modifications this way and that. Very rarely do we get something completely preserved in its original state.
Imagine having your million dollar “investment” atop a Jenga tower stacked to its absolute limit which, on its own, would collapse with a light breeze, with every block being controlled by separate individual actors, any one of whom could collapse the tower by fucking off and becoming a monk or something
Politicos collectively asked themselves “what if we didn’t force our nazis and sex pests to resign after the big scandalTM?”, realized the answer was “nothing”, and gave us the world we live in now
Liberals have waxed poetic about the most murderous and genocidal empire in history since the USA was a thing, and the British Empire before it turned into a corncob.
i think when people discuss oldish-school “progressivism” in the future, they will consider the proud Iraq veteran with a giant Nazi tattoo calling himself a progressive as the point at which the movement was definitely 1000% dead
Personally, I think it’s more accurate to say Graham Platner dug up progressivism’s dessicated corpse and is puppeteering it around with sickening glee
Hitler fell out of the sky in January 1933 and hypnotized all the Germans into supporting him with his magical oratory ability. When he died in 1945 the mind control spell broke and they all went back to being wholesome citizens :) There’s no need to look into postwar polls of Germans, if you google it you are helping Russia.
I continue to stand by by stance that everything Trump says tells you nothing about anything, trying to predict anything using his words is less effective than reading tea leaves, and he’ll be saying the exact opposite a week from now
All the parents putting this shit on their kids' backpacks are just hoping that the school forces them to take it off so they can throw a hissy fit about it and make the rounds on the right-wing outrage circuit and hopefully siphon enough funds from chuds to pay off their mortgage
A redditor who, by their own admission, pledged an oath of loyalty to the most murderous capitalistic empire on the planet, and continues to uphold said oath, thinks they're a radical because they paid lip service to "abolishing capitalism", whatever the fuck they think that means
War criminal that could not attend. I have a very long story of holding onto my core imperialist and chauvinist beliefs. You can tell by the fact that I'm still an unrepentant war criminal who continues to keep their oath to brutalize the enemies of empire.
A lot of my fellow war criminals (men I looked up to) believed in brutalizing actual human beings instead of keeping it to the dirty brown untermenschen, and I will not stand for that.
I know that America is a genocidal empire but I still believe in the lies they made up to justify it. I'm despondent over the fact that the lies don't actually hold water. I want to go back to a time when the genocidal empire used more polite and sophisticated words when they justified war crimes.
Prior to America, nobody had really thought of killing millions of people and stealing their land to construct a prison of never-ending misery. A revolutionary concept. I will continue to fight for the genocidal ideals on which this country was founded.
The first step to achieving that dream is giving us a bigger slice of the imperialist pie. The second step is to allow people of all backgrounds to participate in the imperialist death machine. Though I think the second step is the key.
I think that’s selling it a little short, they did literal Nazi SS apologia
