We must be more critical as a people of political images these days, the hitler image is AI… :/
How much do you want to bet he studied that exact photo to get the iconography and pose right?
wanna be temu hilter
One instance is a coincidence
You have this picture here as one ( we won’t even talk about he made the eagle more Nazi like)
They use a Nazi rune for the stage at the RNC where they proudly post the “joke” that they are domestic terrorists.
Their side is EXCLUSIVELY made up of Holocaust deniers.
Their side is made up of EXCLUSIVELY of this country’s neo Nazis and white supremists
Stephen miller plagiarized Goebbels
Trump kept and read Mein Kampf next to his bed
Trump, Vance, and musk campaign for and donate money to the German AfD party who are KNOWN to be NAZIS
Elon Musk “jokingly” sieg Heiled twice so forcibly that he grunted
They have built, and are still building , concetration camps.
Their new illegal bunker has a, very legal I’m sure, medical research facility in it
They all constantly talk about Eugenics.
They are bringing back public executions
This is all aside from. Their policy decisions. At this point, if I meet you on the street and you say that they ARENT NAZIS, we will have problems
Not how exclusively is used in this context and unfortunately not true with the correct phrasing with Yakubites running around some parts of the DNC
Trump read… bwahahaha thats a good one.
Rear-echelon motherfucker wants to wear Hugo Boss. And maybe something he can’t take off.
It is ironic that his flavour of fascism includes adoring israel not hating it. Anyway, he’s not smart enough to be a very successful villain, hope to see him removed soon
Hitler hated the communists, but sided with the Soviet Union until attacking them was his next step.
I don’t think this is the case here, but these people are like children playing villains for as long as their power allows them
They love to force suffering on others.
It’s like a pressure release valve for them. When they make others suffer it slightly lessens their own terror for a moment.
Whatever bullshit they have to say or do, incantations, prayers, dumb hats, whatever to get to the part where millions suffer, they’ll do it.
The eagle is clutching arrows, representing a fasces, the root of the word fascism, representing the power of the state. Traditionally depicted with an axe at the centre, a fasces was a tool used by the roman armu to discipline soldiers. An axe for decapetation, rods for beating.
these things are everywhere un modern nation states, but I’m told it’s not important, it doesnt mean what i think it means.
it is also the root of the word f*ggot, a bundle of sticks.
:3
Eh, the fasces has a different meaning when you don’t include the axe. Unless you think fascism is when people work together.
The new Wolfenstein looks like shit.
RAM prices
Hitler had one ball. Piss Pot Pete has none.
Yes… Nazis, they’re all Nazis…
Goldberg fallacy in full effect.
American fascism was a huge inspiration for German fascists.
E.g. Bellamy salute
That wasn’t what the Nazis took as inspiration, so much as Jim Crow laws, and the extermination of indigenous peoples.
Lebensraum was just Manifest Destiny for Germans.
I’m not familiar with the Goldberg fallacy and a quick google search failed me. What does it mean?
Maybe they meant Godwin’s law but now it is a fallacy because they really are nazis
unlearned history repeats
They learned, alright. They found it awesome.
only thing they learned is how to fuck people over. they are using that knowledge on us even now
That’s true for Trump alright but what this hegseth guy is doing to the army and the Pentagon is more on the culture war side, no? I’m sure there’s some corruption as well and of course groundwork for using the military domestically one day but it looks different from the corruption-first approach of Trump.
Dog whistle
More like a fog horn.
More of a train whistle. And that train is heading for the camps.
Dog whistle implies they’re trying to hide it
Well idk if most (non-nazi) americans can see the similarity with the right picture missing
Hegseth is just a greasy bitch though. He is no leader.
In fairness, Hitler was a greasy little bitch too.
But he was a greasy little bitch who could inspire with words.
You don’t find:
No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals.
To be inspiring? 🙈
Look, I could shit out a more inspiring speech after a night of heavy drinking. The fact that he repeated parts of it tells me he thinks it’s clever… Which, although I didn’t think it possible, does make me somehow think less of him.
How is it possible to be not just demoralized but also negatively inspiring?
I’ve always thought the stylized eagle was an odd choice.
"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.
"With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country…
“I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America… He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.”
-Benjamin Franklin
he says all that but we all know its because he thought they were making fun of his baldness
Bald Eagle takes food from the Fishing Hawk like USA takes oil from any country who has oil. Seems Bald Eagle is a suitable mascot for USA. Although with all of USA’s other bullshit, probably a huge insult to the Bald Eagle.
I saw the op and was going to add something but you managed to say it more smarter like.
Suits the US to a fucking tee.
It’s not odd. It’s a perfect fit for them. It’s intentionally on brand
Department of war
The new name is oddly truthful, really not in line with their common stance on truth.
for being a ‘department of war’, one would think they’d actually be good at it.
Yeah, but the mask is now off, the bar is lowered.
Interestingly “ministry of war” used to be quite frequent names for these institutions. The “defense” euphemism only came later in many countries. Austria-Hungary also had a “Kriegsministerium” (“war ministry”). It also had a much more badass double headed eagle bolted onto the building. Well, the building still has, after the country started a big war that was also the last thing that ministry did.
I mean, I get and like the honesty. But keep in mind the administration that’s doing this; it’s different when a fascist country says “ministry of war” from when, say, a country like New Zealand or some other innocuous country like Norway or Portugal or current day Japan.
When the current fascist-US admin says they’re going to be ultra aggressive, they not only end up being ultra aggressive, but they end up being ultra ultra aggressive and fascist.
I get your point, but Austro-Hungary started WW1, not nothing either. The reason I was mentioning it is that the US might just as well be in its late days imperialism. One of these wars might actually end the days of US Empire.
Will end the days of US empire. That’s the plan.
trump is not your typical fascist strongman. He is an intentionally destructive force, sent in to make the country insolvent and unmanageable. So the old structure can be saddled with the debt of the people and organizations that are destroying it, and its physical resources can be parted-out.
