  • Bro if it was a hate crime to openly support racist ideals in public do you think the KKK and Nazis and whatever other hate groups would be able to march around in public espousing their horrendous views?

    You are very much allowed to stand around with a Nazi flag and shout hateful shit into the air. It’s when you start directing it at individuals and saying things that could be construed as a threat or hate speech that it becomes a problem.

    For the most part though you’re free to say and wear whatever you want for better or worse.

    And listen, I wish it was a crime to openly support racist ideals in public but that’s just not the country we are.


  • Oh yeah I won’t pretend he didn’t move crowds to coalesce around the Nazi philosophy, he was obviously popular enough to pack stadiums.

    Hitler and Goebbels, hell the whole Nazi party, we’re really good at the propaganda game. I’d say they really were one of the early pioneers of the use of mass media to steer people into alternate reality. Much like how we see social media being taken advantage of today.


  • He wasn’t that eloquent honestly. Just … Boisterous, loud and probably about on par with Trump when it comes to just packing stadiums and getting people riled up over social problems. Problems that were complex but he had simple answers to.

    I’m really tired of all this “Hitler was a genius” bullshit, not only did he make terrible military decisions but he ran a government that was in disarray all the time. Constant turmoil followed him and many changes in personnel in important offices oftentimes just seemingly at a whim.

    Not saying you’re making that argument and honestly I get what you’re saying but my God I have met too many people IRL and online that would suck Hitler’s dick in an instant. You’re right though, this timeline is dumb as fuck.






  • Not gonna click anything from a jesus-is-savior domain but I think it’s blatantly obvious Alex Jones is a huckster that peddled supplements and lies.

    Occasionally he might have accidentally made a salient point but he has never been and never will be a good source of information. It’s ironic his show’s name is also what he’s doing, fighting a war on information and truth with his bullshit and lies.

    If you got money and really want something like it there’s eBay as an option potentially.

    You’re looking for a Philco Television

    Good luck! If you don’t have money to light on fire you might just have to accept the dream won’t become reality.

    Some people also make art pieces either with or just as smaller reproductions. So that could be an option if you want something just aesthetically pleasing but still will be pricey.

    Edit: I know that eBay link isn’t the exact same model but I’m like 99% it is a philco TV on the album cover



  • This is like the difference between normal and right. Like I know a ton of people normally search for answers by putting full questions in. With the advent of LLMs and AI being thrown into everything asking full questions starts to make more sense.

    For actual good results using a search engine, for sure what you said is better.



  • Nah, also you’re never going to lose out on income by making more money.

    Like others said, the only possible exception is if you’re getting government assistance and get kicked off programs you’re in because you went past the cut off. So, as an example, let’s say you’re low income and you get vouchers for school. You could make enough money that you’re no longer eligible for that benefit but the amount you make over the cut off is less than what the benefit was.

    But, that’s a specific situation. At no time will your taxes increase more than whatever additional income you’re getting. Period.

    I’ve tried to explain that too many times now in my life and I’m not even that old. Just a lot of people are bamboozled by propaganda and lies.

    No one gives a fuck what’s in their pants.

    Doubt

    Clinton is as racist as Trump and Harris is as evil.

    You gotta be outta your goddamn mind to believe that.

    People, the average American voter apparently, are just dumb as hell honestly. Like straight up I think the people voting for Trump just got brainwashed and live in an alternate reality because their media literacy and just … Comprehension of reality and complex topics … Is really really bad. That or they’re just actual shitty people who believe in his policies and opinions. I’m not sure which is worse.





  • Just because they live in a clown world doesn’t mean we do.

    Honestly at this point I don’t know if any Trump voters are intelligent enough to understand how wrong they are and how they’ve enabled really shitty people to do horrible things.

    Like, genuinely, is it worth even trying to be nice or have a conversation in good faith when it’s basically impossible to do that even if you try. These folks are so far divorced from reality you can’t have a good faith convo because they don’t respect truth and won’t engage in good faith themselves.

    You can’t really force these idiots to understand how wrong this shit is when they seemingly can’t even comprehend it. Like they’re just genuinely that fucking dumb.
