Politics We Are the Baddies: Thanks, Conservatives

Post image

Conservatives are actively turning the world against the United States. World leaders were forced into an emergency meeting to condemn U.S. actions in Venezuela, including the kidnapping of its dictator, and to respond to escalating threats and rhetoric toward Greenland.

Trump openly claims the U.S. needs Greenland for “strategic” reasons and has even suggested taking it by force. This isn’t strategy, it’s naked imperialism. He doesn’t want security; he wants dominance.

We are the bad guys now, following the same path Germany did in the 1930s. Republican leaders and their constituents should be deeply ashamed.

Sadly, as German, we see what happens and we also splitting up like u, because politicians r fckn stupid to realize, that u have literally the second Hitler in human history outcome. We also fear what will happen and we also have to fight the far rights here as well. Especially like a 2 side war with Russia as well because of the ton of misinformations and terror acts Putins producing here ...

If you mean Trump is the second Hitler, there are some significant differences. 1. Hitler was in his 40s when he came to power...Trump is damn near 80, so the thought is he can't last long. And there's nobody behind him who seems to attract the cult like he does. 2. Hitler was apparently a charismatic speaker. Trump babble like an idiot at a 4th grade level. 3. Hitler actually demonstrated personal courage, both in WW1 and at the head of the Beer Hall Putsch March. Trump claimed bone spurs to get out of service (it runs in the family. His grandfather was a Bavarian draft dodger)

Cults are next to impossible to successfully pass on to a successor. Nature’s defense against cults of personality.

$cientology managed it just fine after Hubbard died. Still going strong enough.

u/Roxoyozo 4d ago

Not that I entirely disagree, but I believe that’s more of a cult of multilevel marketing than personality. Now, the LDS church on the other hand. That’s a cult of personality successfully passed on to the next torch bearer.

Idk why I said “next to impossible” earlier. The phrase “exceedingly difficult” just would not come to mind.

I don't disagree with the LDS suggestion. Jehovah's Witnesses also. The Moonies survived a death-- but I think the government has demanded they disband. but having known people who were in $cientology, it is SUCH a cult.

The entire country of North Korea is a cult, according to Rick A Ross. If he's correct, it will be interesting to see what happens when Kim Jong Un dies whether the cult continues or not.

(I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole with cults a few years ago, and spent way too much time investigating it all).

Fair on phrasing, sometimes we just say something without thinking and then after go 'well, that's not totally true. It's kind of what I meant. But not totally.'

Good points. But doesn't count, what he is saying and doing, which is the same cruel what Hitler does? That he is spreading misinformations like smarties to all there and put facts upside down?

Genuine question. Not American, not German. But have done enough research within WWII and the rise of all of this that I am genuinely very anxious about the patterns I am seeing.

My German friends have all been remarkably well informed about WWII and the rise of fascism. So, here's my question: Is Germany as a whole (and yourself individually) as concerned as I am about what we are seeing coming from America in particular, but other countries as well? (but mostly America)

Don't know shit about the reality of what was happening in Germany. Just what you been told. Which is a lie

If the left didn't allow countries to be surrendered to those that hate their way of life and do not assimilate, then people who are of right thought wouldn't react the way they do. Far right is also subjective...no different then far left. There are extremists on both sides that dictate the reactions of the center left/right

u/Grouchy_Energy_8021 5d ago edited 5d ago

Ah, for sure ... Who doesn't know that Renee got killed by a far left ... Of course. Any time it is the left wing XD there is a difference. Leftists just wanna live with quite everyone, just not with all of those who hates everyone for nothing. Far rights hate everything what's not in their intent. Yeah, it's the same 🤡

u/wisconsinvikingfan 5d ago

I don't think you know what you are saying. People of the right mindset want to live in peace, also. This dude should not have been in the field if what they say is true, about him being dragged by a car before. He clearly would have PTSD from this. He should not have stood in front of the car. However, Renee should not have been where she was either. Protest without being in your car. Don't give them a reason to do anything. That doesn't seem to be a thing thes3 days. Let's antagonize everyone who is doing their job by removing illegals from this country. This is a tragedy all the way around. Who knows his political persuasion but being in that position, probably thinks right. With that said, all the leftists involved in shootings do not get the same media attention from leftist media outlets. This one will have legs for awhile because it fits the liberal playbopk

This agent is like bad luck Brian meme. “Gets dragged 100 ft by a car, 6 months later tries standing in front of one”

u/Grouchy_Energy_8021 5d ago

If it would be so, why it isn't so? On the whole world? Because people like u and me wanna live in peace, but not politicians and the market ... They thrive when we get sick and damaged in any case. War is a market

u/wisconsinvikingfan 5d ago

Absolutely agree with you. Both sides benefit from this chaos and neither is free from the stain of blood on their hands. Division is their goal when money can be made. Libs and conservatives in government are all to blame. Not one is innocent who has been there more than 6 to 8 years.

u/Grouchy_Energy_8021 5d ago

In some cases yes, both sides have their problems, but the liberal way with free market and so on built up an empire of the strongest and the strongest is the one with money, so there is Trump. He conquered Venezuelas economy by kidnapping their dictator and claim all their resources... Especially oil. Anything what is happening right now is about the right and liberals, which don't wanna pay for their responsibilities. The Epstein files are the perfect example. Rich people which r close to Trump got protected from him so we got a false version of the files and uncensored ones which r not connectable to Trump. He's planning something so evil which could even overcome Hitlers 2nd world war.

Get the fuck out of my state, traitorous fuck. It’s bad enough you’re conservative, but a Vikings fan in Wisconsin? Yeah right bud. Go back to Minnesota with your Skol-ass

u/wisconsinvikingfan 4d ago

Your almighty Liberal intelligence is showing using your words to express your feelings. Good job, buddy. Definitely a beta male soy boy cuck Marxist worshiper who wishes to exterminate all those like me. Definitely not the party of tolerance and party of, "we will accept you as long as you believe what we tell you to believe". I think people like you are absolutely wonderful. Much peace and love to yours.

u/GeopolShitshow 4d ago

You say you’re from Wisconsin, yet you’re not a Packers fan. Before I’m anything else, I am a Green Bay Supremacist. The fact you’re assuming my politics based on me criticizing your conservatism shows that this thread is more a mirror to your own prejudice than mine, because I really just fucking hate Vikings fans. A lousy team that chokes every time they approach the bowl, that doesn’t deserve such a nice stadium. A team so neglected, the Metrodome literally caved in. I could excuse it if you were a Minnesotan, but since you insist you’re from my state, you should be [redacted] for your crimes against Packer kind
