Also, Hitler was literally inspired by US settler colonialism - specifically the genocide we perpetrated against indigenous Americans, and that whole slave trade slavery thing.

Naziism, unfortunately, is as American as apple pie & we need to reckon with that. Yesterday.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

So every time people do "only 80s/90s kids remember" stuff it's always the same things and it feels fake. Here's some real stuff they never use: in the 80s there was a crazy amount of anti-Japan hysteria and in the 90s everyone had to make a joke about Dan Quayle even children's cartoons and Fallout

β€œβ€¦then of course they're going to do it in a very extreme way, and that's what we've been seeing over the past, you know, week and a half or so. But on the other hand I think we should also just be a little bit mindful of the overall context and the pressure that they all live under there."

β€œβ€¦or even worse than a prison a gulag, or a kind of a very harsh labor camp. Therefore the pressure to conform which exists in any society exists in a much more extreme form there. So when people see that the acceptable form of behavior is to mourn the death of Kim Jong-il for instance…”

"Your stated opinion has made me angry. In response, I'm going to phrase my opposing view in a way that is intentionally exaggerated and thus wrong, purely to make you angry, out of revenge for making me angry. I fully believe that, somehow, I am fixing the world by doing this."
