The Nazis weren’t leftist socialists as MAGA claims. Hitler used the term “socialist” to appeal to the lower classes. Even an encyclopedia will tell you that.
That's >not< to say MAGAnuts are right about anything. It's also not to say MAGAnuts are anything other than Trumpkopf's incarnation of the Nazi's - they are exactly that.
It was a promise, not a policy. It was a lie, and they swallowed it, just like MAGAnuts swallow Chump's Kool-Aid. Just like they swallowed St. Reagan's.
However, the Nazi Reich really gathered steam when the left of center elements of society bought into the ideology.
I only say this as a Jew, the grandson of people who had family wiped out in the holocaust, the son of an RAF pilot during the war.
Antisemitism is absolutely baked into leftest ideology as much as it is far right ideology. They are just baked into it differently.
The right has Christian identity politics and racism.
The left has communism, and European antisemitism, and some flavors of Muslim extremism
We tend to think of these things as a spectrum with two poles connected by a straight line between them. Which is true for many social constructs.
Antisemitism is unique in that those two poles are closer together and the line create a U shape between them.
That is to say the most extreme right, and the most extreme left have more in common with each other than they ever could with the average person in the center.
In the US these attitudes are more subtle on the right (specific to Jews) until you hit the absolute furthest right. And they are more on the surface of the current left but don’t yet seem to penetrate the left power structure in the same way it does for the GOP.
This last year has been hard for myself, and many Jewish friends. I think if anyone seeing this, is serious about “fighting Nazis” it would be wise to just reflect a little about your feelings towards Jews not just in America but anywhere.
You may find you have some uncomfortable things to confront, and more than reading a book, writing an article the best tool to fight hate is to be honest with yourself.
This is not directed at the original commenter, but it seemed like a good spot to leave my two cents.
and speaking of uncomfortable things to confront you should probably take your own bad advice and stop being a narcissistic POS because your entire worldview is FUCKED. you condone genocide. no one should be listening to you about anything. you're a disgusting excuse of a person.
no it isnt, and youre a bad person. there is no validity to the horseshoe theory because the extreme lefts goal is to liberate all people from oppression and the extreme rights goal is to exterminate anyone they don't like.
Nope. Not true at all. Fake news. The party was founded in 1919 (a full 14 years BEFORE Hitler took power) and run by Anton Drexler and was called Die Nationalsozialistischer Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (The National Socialist German Workers party)…a LEFT wing Socialist party. National socialism was already spreading throughout Germany in the 1920s as a junior contender to Italy’s fascist regime. National Socialism placed racist ideology and antisemitism front and centre of their politics… which is exactly what’s happening in the United States now through DEI and the resurgence of antisemitism.
What part is NOT fake news? Ich bin selbst eine Deutche Frau and kenne die Vergangenheit besser als die meisten Amerikanische Leute. Also ich bitte dich…welcher Teil ist NICHT eine fescherem?
Ur so wrong Hitler and Trump are thoughts similarly, they wants power and segregation only white supremacists,even on Google is easy to looking but the history is different how much to know about it.
All those flags do not represent Patriotism. It’s a sign of insecurity and fear of being found out. Wrapping one’s self in the Flag is the last refuge of a scoundrel. There are ways to respect the flag. Trump just doesn’t know or care.
To really understand what's happening in America, read Rachel Maddow's book "Prequel". The whole fascist movement in the US started in the 1930's after Hitler came to power. Fortunately, it did not succeed in the US then. Since then, the fascist movement has gained traction until their perfect Führer, Hitler 2.0, Donald J. Trump, came down the gilded escalator in 2015. This movement has morphed into a juggernaut, peopled by right-wing extremists in government, federal and state, and now a fascist Supreme Court. I believe only Biden can stop this malignancy from killing America. Vote blue, America. The free world is counting on you!
Very true. We can also look at it as the old Confederate infection that's been festering just beneath the surface since 1864 bursting back out into the open.
There is a book by historian Heather Cox Richardson named ‘How the South Won the Civil War’ and she explains the myth of the lost cause and how it infected not just the South, but the nation as a whole. Industrialists used racism to attack unions and immigrants. This virus was baked into our Constitution. Fascism is just the face of it now.
This is true . If you read Robert E Lee’s memoirs and manifesto.. it is chilling
He was a confederate white supremacist ..the one who described that the “negro was not a full human.. only 3/5ths human”
It is too long to write here .. but he was not looked upon favorably by the forefathers.. who all had slaves but Robert E Lee’s ideology was founded in White Nationalist extremism..
After his tenure with the original Republic Union .. he went on to teach at an all white private school for boys in the south.
I don’t have any proof or evidence but based on reading his memoirs.. am convinced that he may have been one of/or actual founder of the KKK..
While we didn’t have internet during that period..
I always and continue to wonder if Adolph Hitler while imprisoned for 18 months .. (arrested for his grandstanding in favor of his early ideas.. including socialist propaganda and developing much support) was frowned upon by the Chancellor ..
subsequently jailed..
it was during his incarceration that he began to formulate his ideas for writing and completing “Mein Kamph”..
His writings were almost parallel to Lee’s ideas but it was the “Jews” that he felt were inferior..describing them as vermin..
The similarities of these two men though born in different times and different countries mirror such hatred towards a particular group of people..
I believe you're right about Lee being one of the founders of the KKK and the so called "lost cause" mentality. As you point out, he was one of the original White Christian Nationalists, AKA "Christofascists", and had a lot in common with Hitler. A good number of today's Christofascists have white hoods in their dressers. Confederate battle flags, and quite a few have swastika tattoos, as well as collections of both Klan and Nazi "memorabilia".
Ironically, I read in the news a while back that a distant great great great, etc., grand nephew of Lee is a minister, in N. Carolina if I'm not mistaken, who enthusiastically supported the removal of his ancestor's statue. He's a true Christian who believes in decency.
I couldn’t bring myself to watch any of those videos through to the end. I’m disgusted, nauseated and scared as hell. Scared, not so much for myself as I am for my children and grandchildren.
The sheer ignorance and near psychotic mentalities they expressed were unbelievably over the top. They were just vomiting up all that Kool-Aid they guzzled with their Schlitz.
What many American Jews and many Israelis don’t seem to understand or recognize is that Christian nationalism and the mimicking of Nazi propaganda by Trump and the MAGA movement is never good for Jews and won’t be good for Israel either. Trump’s support for Jews and Israel has never been on a gut level or emotional level. It, like everything else he has done has been on a transactional level. He will turn against them both on a dime if circumstances dictate. Remember how he chastised Netanyahu (who I also despise)for the audacity of congratulating Biden on his victory? I am sad to see all the support Trump is receiving in the Jewish community without considering the potential danger of his victory. I say this as a Jew and a strong supporter of Israel.
I'd say most of us don't support The Orange Scourge. I'd also say most of us don't support Bibi. Witness those immense crowds in Israel protesting him. Bibi and Trumpkopf are two of a kind.
…huh ?! …”holocaust survivors” only ?! …if only them WE ARE FUCKED, there’s only few of them left, does that means nobody else see this ? …our country is really fucking STUPID !!
…if country allows a dictator to become a dictator after he said he will be a dictator, then a country deserves a dictator
Not only holocaust survivors. I believe the author specified them because they're the most uniquely positioned to recognize what's really going on. As are their descendants. But they're not the only ones who can see it, not by any means. Just a quick glance at much of the content and commentary right here on substack will tell you that.
Trump stole the election though, with voter suppression. The numbers don't lie. More people were disenfranchised by unprecedented means this past election than Trump's margin of victory.
Of course there are also some pretty strange irregularities in the swing states...
Look at this it’s sick. It will make you vomit. It’s going to make you sick to your stomach when they take their neighbors kids when they take your neighbors and then they come for your kids. Are you gonna stand for that but that’s what’s going to happen first is gonna be Black people, eating cats and dogs that’s bullshit lying to you and you look the other way because he wasn’t coming after you but what you gonna do when he is coming after you didn’t know that but you know
The Nazis were not Christian, they were the opposite. They invented their own "blood and soil" religion, and based much of their propaganda on pre-Christian mythology. Jesus crucified was not their image to imitate at all, quite the the opposite. You're inventing stories here, not history
Christofascist MAGA Nazis love to pretend they’re morally superior because they’re Christians.
They have no idea that Christianity was militant until WW2. European history is 2000 years of Christians slaughtering other Christians and non-Christians.
Thank you. And the ‘mythologies’ were usurped by xtians and bastardized to create their own fairy tale and to destroy the actual origin stories they stole from. The either forced conversion or killed those who wouldn't convert. Real nice bunch of bloodthirsty, power-hungry, thieving, destructive, intolerant, judgemental bigots. Not a real original thought in their heads. And then to commit the most egregious sin of worshipping the orange calf. Kind of capricious, dontcha think?
Delusional is the right adjective. Anyone that objectively looks at history cannot possibly regard Christianity (and some other) as net positive for humanity.
Dear friend, saying you are Christian doesn't make you a Christian any more than saying you are a duck makes you a duck. If you want to know what a Christian looks like, look for the marks of the Cross in their life. Servanthood, humility, caring sacrifially for others are good indicators.
You do not know world history. They had "God mit uns" on their belt buckles, if you don't know German it means "God is with us". They were in fact Catholic Christian, as was much of Germany at the time. They also had large numbers of protestants in Germany because of Martin Luther.
Oh crack a book in a lot of places the Catholic Church was shilling for Germany or worse they were turning a blind eye on Jews getting ripped out of their homes instead of of providing sanctuary.
One of the first bilateral treaties of the German Reich was with the Roman Catholic Church, the so-called Reich Concordat, which gave legitimacy to the Nazis and for which a church tax is still levied and collected by the state in Germany today.
Nazis believe in the black sun and that they could communicate with entities that lived on a planet that orbits the black sun
This was the purpose of the holocaust
They believed that they could harvest energy from human pain and tragedy that allowed them to communicate with the black sun entities who supposedly gave them advanced technology
They also believed they could use the energy they called vrill to channel into someone that would provide them abnormal charisma
One comment after another tell the story that Trump is a Nazi. He is nuts. He’s a fascist. He doesn’t want anyone. He’s coming for everyone one at a time until he comes for you and he will you will see.
“Gott mit uns” (God is with us) was inscribed around the deaths-head icon on the belt-buckle of the Waffen-SS on the Eastern Front of WWII. Extrapolate.
I think any Religion's Fundamentalists are a danger to Democracy and other people. That includes Orthodox Jews, Evangelical Christians, Right Wing Catholics, Fundamentalist Moslems, and Radical Hindus. The belief that only they are right and therefore special isn't conducive to the compromise and group harmony of Democracy. It's more like the Leader hands down the word from above.
I totally agree with this. IMHO, religion is little more than organized superstition - usurped by those who seek power, and the most extreme versions of it is little more than a form of insanity.
Something like 70 days before inauguration then the bullshit starts the first time that Trump breaks the constitution takes away your civil rights. Are you going to know it? Are you gonna see it or you gonna see it? We cannot so you you can make it so worthless and does nothing, let him do what he’s gonna do as far as making things better. Let’s see what his better looks like. You know what his better looks like. It does not look good. Keep an eye out for it and let him know that you see it.
It’s hard to stop one after another end your mind because you can really see it. It’s not make-believe. It’s really real. Trump is Hitler. He is a fascist. What did you do?
The Nazis weren’t leftist socialists as MAGA claims. Hitler used the term “socialist” to appeal to the lower classes. Even an encyclopedia will tell you that.
Reading Is Fundamental
Lol. Comprehension doesn’t hurt either.
Well they certainly weren't leftist. However, we need to be careful with our facts.
Nazi is short for "Nationalsozialismus", AKA National Socialism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism.
That's >not< to say MAGAnuts are right about anything. It's also not to say MAGAnuts are anything other than Trumpkopf's incarnation of the Nazi's - they are exactly that.
Right, but National Socialism was just a moniker. It was not true socialism.
It was a promise, not a policy. It was a lie, and they swallowed it, just like MAGAnuts swallow Chump's Kool-Aid. Just like they swallowed St. Reagan's.
Exactly

Lol, anyone who uses DEI as a cudgel is not anyone concerned with facts. Likewise anyone following Libs of TikTok. You’re just another sad troll.
Yes, bypass the fact that many DEI programs do in fact, caste Jews as white, and therefore unworthy of protection… the. Attack the person directly.
That’s the kinda of scummy behavior that makes your point look great!
Oh, and just for giggles.
You who have never written more than about a paragraph about anything… calling someone else a troll.
You who have not a picture of yourself whose whose whole identity only is reposting other peoples thoughts thoughts… did STFU.
Ur so wrong Hitler and Trump are thoughts similarly, they wants power and segregation only white supremacists,even on Google is easy to looking but the history is different how much to know about it.
That’s not what I said. You might try to reread what I did say.
All those flags do not represent Patriotism. It’s a sign of insecurity and fear of being found out. Wrapping one’s self in the Flag is the last refuge of a scoundrel. There are ways to respect the flag. Trump just doesn’t know or care.
It's effective propaganda though.
Read how Carl Schmitt wanted to dived up the world into a few homogeneous tracts
Schmitt was “crown jurist” of Nazi Germany and Trump and Putin seen to be following his ideas.
To really understand what's happening in America, read Rachel Maddow's book "Prequel". The whole fascist movement in the US started in the 1930's after Hitler came to power.

War criminals, the both of them. Along with #traitortRUMP's owner, putin.
Absolutely.
Absolutely spot on. The Jews who swallow his line, in spite of all else, will not see pass one issue. Blind.
God I hate seeing traitors wrap themselves in our flag.
Maybe someone should tell him how it ended for Hitler..
Yes, but not before millions of innocent people died and he put the world into turmoil...
Right 😞
His bone spurs will save him.
😂
Maybe Mussolini is a better example.
I certainly hope so, but for every last one of them, live on TV, then a never ending loop on C-Span as a warning so no one ever tries this shit again.

Exactly. That's why Protestants were fleeing Europe to America.
The Catholics were literally killing them because they said they didn't need to worship a guy in a White Dress and funny hat.
The Nazis were Christian.
Hitler was a Catholic choir boy.
The German Catholic Church was behind Hitler.
Their belt buckle said "Under God" and they meant the Christian God, not Zeus or Thor. 😄
Facts.

Hitler was a Christian.
Oh no, you do Not get to white wash the fact that Hitler formed a Christofacist regime. “God is with Us” was on their belt buckles even!
I would argue something similar for MAGAts
Some were. You can be sure.
It's not just “great man “ Nazis. But rank and file you got to count.
You do not know world history. They had "God mit uns" on their belt buckles, if you don't know German it means "God is with us". They were in fact Catholic Christian, as was much of Germany at the time. They also had large numbers of protestants in Germany because of Martin Luther.

We need to start a campaign of:
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone-
Jesus against Trump
Unfortunately Trump would claim total innocence and start throwing stones.
And, naturally, his MAGAnut followers will join right in.
