        Wow! Thats funny! Because I’m tired of righties/anarchy/maga/nazis trying to normalize this shitshow. I’m tired of people with NO MORALS telling us what morals we should have.

        If respecting human rights is lefty/anarcho/terrorists. Then absolutely! Better that than a worthless Nazi.

          righties/anarchy/MAGA/nazis

          One of these is not like the others…

          I agree with your point but please don’t equate anarchy (the absence of hierarchy) with the MAGA movement (a strict hierarchy of authority).

          Perhaps you used it to mean chaos/disorder but that’s not the definition of the word. Despite modern revisionism and dictionaries now stating so, but a common misuse in order to remove legitimacy from the concept.

            Just to let you know. My son(24) is a full on anarchist. He believes in no laws, survival of the fittest, anti capitalism.

            He supports MAGA as does his anarchist friends. They see MAGA as the quickest route to their goals. They see the chaos as motivators for the public to embrace removal of all authority. They see Trump as their new savior ushering in a world broken. Where they can do what they want without reservation or consequences.

              I’m sorry to say this, but your son is an idiot then and doesn’t understand anarchism.

              Anarchism is, of course, by its nature, a very broad term that covers many different views. But survival of the fittest isn’t a tenet held by almost any anarchists. Support of fascism definitely isn’t a tenet held by any anarchists.

              No authority doesn’t mean no consequences. If he intends to harm others then he can’t be surprised when they enact harm upon him in response.

              If he’s inclined to read, there’s many books available here which go into detail about various forms of anarchism:

              https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/index

              Proudhon, Kropotkin, Graeber, Bookchin, and Goldman are some authors he could begin with.

            Sadly we’re all in a morally grey area. Because for some reason lefty/anarchy/dem people kinda tell that Ashli Babbitt murder was justified.

            Instead of moralizing, one could’ve called for fully transparent investigations of police actions, but that’s not how you mobilize the crowd

      On the contrary, the mofo fits right in:

      Blond wie Hitler, groß wie Goebbels, schlank wie Göring und keusch wie Röhm.

      Being unfuckable is a pretty solid trait among them.

        good point. despite the unmatched pure fucking evil and unfuckability of all of the key assholes, i have to give hugo boss credit for nailing the aesthetic of ultimate authoritarian authority military uniforms, including “they’ve got little skulls on them” hats

      For me it’s more the wanton violence and callous disregard for human life.

    No shit. I haven’t looked at German uniforms in detail for a long time but his coat just screamed Nazi at me so loud it could burst my eardrums.

    They do have a Nazi look, but it’s mostly not produced by the clothes they wear. Today I found myself looking up how to spell “Sturmabteilung.”

        I’m saying it’s a cost, not the Nazi eagle, which has also been reported on and not the story. A lot of people probably have that coat, but aren’t doing the Nazi tactics, same as those who may own a Beetle, Adidas clothing, or Thinkpad, or who drink Fanta and don’t endorse his tactics. Can you imagine having a similar coat just for warmth, now can’t wear it in public?

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
