It Can't Happen Here


http://www.theatlantic.com/vid...on-square-garden-1939/

Q: What relevance does a 79 year old, pre-holocaust event have to do with modern society in this country.

A: None

Complacency is as complacency does...

You seriously don't see parallels to some of the shit that's occurring in this country? C'mon maaan

Are you afraid that somehow <1% of the population that consists of some sort of white supremacy group is going repeat history? Won't happen.

A white nationalist playing the part of victim of the press while speaking of making America great again as the crowd worships symbols of the nation

Never seen anything like it

What are you afraid of? Nazi's and white supremacists gaining actual power in this country and causing a second holocaust? That would never happen, period.

Also, foreign actors posing as American patriots before a mob longing to be fooled. That's happening now, on a much larger scale on social media, manipulating fears of immigrants and whatever else to divide and foster hatred.



*Fred Trump, or Drumph was it?, allegedly among other notables in attendance.

If you want to address hate, then you need to take a few steps back and address *all* of it. That hate in this country doesn't follow party lines....

Apparently, mass genocide has to happen again before people see that really bad shit was happening all around them.

Silly comment, really.

Are you afraid of a mass genocide in this country? Honestly? LOL

My point is that bad things are already happening, enabled by a self-proclaimed nationalist manipulating the masses with disinformation, nationalist propaganda, and repeatedly calling the media and political opponents the enemy of the government.

I never proclaimed we are heading for genocide. Looks more likely that we'll just kill each other, mostly with stupidity.

He might come around when they make him touch the lamps..

When America was "great"

"Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it."

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Knowing history is exactly why we won't repeat it.

Well, only IF we do something about it. Knowing something and DOING something about it are two totally different things.

And on another note... Nothing to see here:

Trump: End birthright citizenship for some US-born babies
Drumpf: "they're saying I can do it just with an executive order."

(psst: miker, it's already started)

Watch out for your shadow.

There will be a SCOTUS challenge on that. We will see where we stand, if and when any of that comes to pass.

Now that the Supremacy of the court is nearly complete, nothing shocking.

Yeah, about that: were you not paying attention during the Kavenaugh sh*tshow?

Yeah I was paying attention, which is EXACTLY why I made the comment. Try thinking about it for more than a second.

You are some whacked out dudes. But, for my purposes, I heavily encourage you progs to keep comparing us voters to Nazis. That's the kind of think that gets our side out to the voting booths in droves. It might under progs. That is what they want, when you get down to it. Yes, but Germany had a very different history than us. Virtually nooe of the factors that led to Hitler exist here.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

Yeah bad things are happening. Trump is a demagogue. How exactly is raising the specter of Nazi ideology helping the divide in this country? How about the gross generalizations I have seen people make comparing conservatives to Nazi's ? Also, I hope you don't think for a second that Trump has the market on manipulating the masses cornered. Disinformation and manipulation of people has been going on for quite a long time. Sensationalism, partisan reporting, spin, and prioritization of commercialism over the truth is long running issue that greatly predates Trump.

Yeah the infection has been festering for a long time. Trump and his rallies are an infection gone septic. Those rallies and Alex Jones following represent >1% of the population. Just because someone doesn't label themselves a Nazi doesn't mean that their nationalistic fervor fed with Trump's brand of conspiracy theories and fear mongering isn't analogous to the type of jingoistic fervor that the original Nazi's used to rise to power.

-------------------------
...

The conservatives need to do more to speak up. When Alex Jones got kicked off youtube and twitter there was an outcry that those platforms were censoring "conservative voices". Accepting Jones and people like him as a "conservative voice" should be unacceptable for anyone that calls himself a conservative. Surely conservatives can figure out how to defend free speech without accepting people like Alex Jones into the "conservative" tent. But you know, they don't. You read it and hear it all the time. They decry censorship of "conservative voices" every time somebody like Alex Jones does something crazy and gets the ban hammer on some platform. Our 2ndlight microcosm is an example. You see any conservatives telling FK to shut up with the Birther nonsense? Nope. As far as I am concerned they are all birthers until they start correcting the loons.

When Obama himself admits that he was born in Kenya....well the tinfoil hat is slapped squarely on YOUR head!

FOOL!



-------------------------
The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

Hah. The things you stumble across in the archive with the forum's shitty search tool.

TLDR

Using the america first slogan was bannon's idea, and was quite deliberately chosen to ally his causes with the neo nazis and the white supremacy dorks.
Chumpf apparently didnt get the joke, and thought it was him who came up with the phrase.
The america first committee was a pro hitler, pro nazi organization with german propaganda agents whipping the whole thing into a frenzy. Hitler was doing great things for the german economy. And his brownshirt goon squads were just misunderstood and a little "overzealous" at times, that's all.The torch carrying parade parallels: fully planned to be
The parallels between the current climate of fear and hatred foisted by herr pussen grabben are also quite obvious to anyone with the slightest clue.
Because it was designed to be, deliberately.
I'll begin posting the actual story behind "america first" soon.

It's a democratic hoax

When the Mueller investigation comes out, and by chance we see the rule of law being denied. We will know it is happening again for sure. Other than the waking themes, as bad as they are, dont mean much. But it also doesnt mean we should be complacent.

Glub, glub, glub, dude.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

Bannon duped dum dum donnie into thinking he came up with the term. Once your tangerine traitor genius got hip to the joke, after it was carefully explained (with illustrated pictures and using his name a lot): he embraced it.
Got a copy of hitler's speeches and mein kampf on his bedside table. (As if he could read, much less comprehend them.)
He, and his clueless inbred uneducated lemmings and sheep: are stinking anti American fascist vermin.
aka: enemies of my america. And our people


-------------------------
It's a democratic hoax

Some people are so deeply ensconced in their bubble of privilege, that it's absurd to them that the breakdown of civil society happening around them can ever effect them personally.

“It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti

Hey man, as long as they can ride their tricked out golf carts back and forth between Long Doggers and the Mega Church of Supply Side Jesus over there in Vierra they got nothing to worry about. Just have to keep the mongol hoards on the southern border at bay.

-------------------------
...

What is absurd is that people are so blinded by their partisan beliefs that they are incapable of seeing how the actions of 'their' side contribute to that breakdown of society.

Anyone who can't see the multiple similarities / parallels either:

a) isnt paying attention

b) failed history

c) got shitty comprehension scores

or

d) all of the above


There is no doubt he's goin for it. ..and if by some odd Mikeresque chance he's not, then he and his people are super-asses for making it reeeeally look like it.

bottom line: Bad For America

When America was "great"

e: doesnt want to see it

80 years ago today

What happened to Miker; I don't miss him.

moved to costa

Gotcha, didn't care for his style but envious of him now

He said he moved out of the country and would never be on this forum again. However, I caught a couple of his alt screen names chiming in and making posts lol

He sure seemed concerned with the Me Too Movement.

I was right.

LOL and Black Lives Matter
