The meme says fascist, which Nazis are a subset. That’s why it is silly to try to make a distinction about the article I quoted. The Venn diagram is quite simple.
6·10 months agoThat boomerang just keeps coming back around for some reason. Who can explain it? /s
No, it is a quote of the previous poster. It’s funny because they think that distinguishing nazis from fascism has some bearing on the validity of the meme which is just silly af.
#notallfascists
The meme mentions ‘fascist’, and all nazis are fascists. Is this so hard?
I like how the format is also the iceberg meme.
Yes, all poodles are dogs. Venn diagrams are fun. So the meme works just fine.
On its face, Putin’s smear is absurd, not least because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish and has said that members of his family were killed during World War II.
Article from before all the nazi stuff got memory holed in favor of chanting “Slava Ukraini” while NATO cheered on forcing a generation of conscripts to fight a losing war to push up arms dealers financials.
On December 8, 1941, Disney studios were essentially converted into a propaganda machine for the United States government. While most World War II films were created for training purposes, films such as Victory Through Air Power were created to catch the attention of government officials and to build public morale among the U.S. and Allied powers.[3] Among the notables who decided after seeing the film that Seversky and Disney knew what they were talking about were Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This short propaganda film rebranded “terror bombing” aerial bombardment strategy to seem like a moral obligation for competent war fighting. The US and allies have been utilizing this strategy consistently in various conflicts. They still didn’t “win” in (all of) Korea or Vietnam though.

Police have not charged or publicly identified the safety volunteer who shot at Gamboa and fatally struck Ah Loo. But authorities have said they’re investigating whether that man was justified in firing his handgun.
Attorneys for Laura Ah Loo called out the safety volunteer by name Wednesday and said they will pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against him in coming weeks. They also said charges should be filed against the volunteer and called for more transparency from authorities.
The Associated Press is not naming the volunteer because he has not been publicly identified by authorities.
I’m guessing the shooter is a cop or ex-LEO or something like that. Hopefully the civil case can get some justice, because this justice system definitely protects its own unfortunately.
But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II.
“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”
The exchange occurred in 2012 at Tune Inn, a popular dive on Capitol Hill where Platner later worked as a bartender and was a frequent patron while he attended The George Washington University on the G.I. bill, according to the former acquaintance. He would often take his shirt off drinking with friends late at night at the bar, and on at least one occasion had stated he knew what the tattoo represented, the former acquaintance recalled.

politicians who compromise with fascists are still miles better than just uncompromised fascism
the paradox of tolerance, ever heard of it?
That’s the dream, but a lot of ‘leftists’ aren’t always quite fully anti-capitalist yet. They can get there, but it takes time and learning/unlearning. I’ve started just calling myself a socialist because it is more direct. Leftist is more vibes based for a lot of people.
Handwaving fascist tattoos is ceding too much in my opinion. This should be a moment where liberals have some self awareness and grapple with the use of state power to service the whims of capital, but history doesn’t provide a hopeful forecast in that regard.
There are witnesses to him jokingly referring to it as his ‘totenkopf’ like 8 years ago when he worked at a bar. Anyone interested in military history should probably be aware of it as well.
LMAO LOL even
this is some “Blue MAGA or Nazi Veteran, no other choice can exist” right here
DNC plant
Graham Platner >> reg haram plant
Vote PSL, death to IDF, free Palestine, recognize Nazi tattoos, it’s socialism or barbarism y’all
The reality all leftists/socialists must confront is that the only way forward might require the window to be broken.
I’m not saying they are the same. I’m laughing about someone trying to make the argument that there is a special significance of difference in the context of this meme.
That’s why the hastag is funny.
