That shit will never add up to me. It’s bad enough to see the switch from, “support our troops!” fervor directly to Trump’s, “I don’t like soldiers who get caught,” and the various other outright scandalous things he’s explicitly said about the military and individuals who have served… I can’t even imagine that happening in a military family.

Just shows how insane this is. It’s like a fucking social contagion.

I feel like it’s higher than waist level, and you’re not extending your arm and hand out straight like that. It’s more of a motion, that you obv. can’t portray in a still shot.

I would say it’s about the same height as the Nazi salute, but clearly distinguishable by the motion, and what you do with your hand (usually like a wave or point type thing).

If your girlfriend’s dad is sitting at a table with 10 Nazis, then you have a table of 11 Nazis.

Trust me, I get it. I’ve been grappling with the fact that my parents are fucking fascists.

Can’t wait to see AI really shine when they use it to edit him out of all of these photographs.

Lol you just said liberalism is the same as fascism… Stopped reading there.

Also helps when you see a user you previously tagged confirming that you were correct the first time.

Yep, that’s certainly one major aspect. And just look at all of the corporations already bending the knee and the guy isn’t even in office yet.

Billionaires or not, they don’t have control of state militaries (yet at least). In fascism, the state is at the top, and corporations bend the knee and become an extension of the government to be used at the whims of its authoritarian leader.

What it ultimately comes down to is power and the capacity for violence. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, if a government can just drone strike your entire family, does it?

Since the people in charge went full fascist.

You’re going to find out what real fascism is in the coming months/years.

It’s pretty easy to not say racist and misogynistic shit if you’re not a racist and/or misogynist.

Like you realize that people aren’t out here struggling every day to not say the n word. That’s not normal.

It’s OK, let me help you out:

Remedial means: “to give a remedy,” or in this context, “to provide a corrective education in order to attain the education level of your contemporaries” (“Contemporaries” means a person living and working at the same time as you).

Preliminary means: “denoting an action or event preceding or done in preparation of something important.”

Hopefully that helps!

Gross.

Not a surprise, dude gives off those vibes in videos as well.

Some of us remember when Vice was a mean-spirited, local magazine that made fun of the way New Yorkers dressed.

Not really surprising that those people turned out to be scumbags.

Imagine being the wealthiest person on the planet, and still being this insecure.

Yes, now. BECAUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL.

You literally just proved my point.

Yeah and stuck a bunch of gold glitter on it with Elmer’s glue.

It’s like you are purposely missing the point.

You’re right. Government bad. Government does nothing good and provides nothing for anyone. The world IS black and white.

Let me guess, taxes are theft…

I am well aware of the atrocities committed by the United States government.

The overwhelming majority of government employees are just regular people working 9-5 desk jobs that don’t involve anything nefarious whatsoever.

Likewise, the overwhelming majority of scientific breakthroughs come from government funding. The scientists and administrators that make that shit happen aren’t bad people.

This shit is far from perfect, and we have a horrific and bloody past (and present, and likely future).

But there is nuance. You need to recognize that there is nuance. The world is not black and white.

The mock-up looks much cooler than the actual device in the photo (assuming that’s actually it and not just a render or something).

This comment is the product of a cooked brain. You’re so hopped up on conspiracy bullshit, that you can’t tell fact from fiction anymore.

The US Government is absolutely massive, and it’s made up of normal people that you interact with on a regular basis without even realizing it. And just like people, it can do good and it can do bad. Removing that nuance is just ignorant.
