The right wing activist and convicted felon's gesture was identical to the one Musk made at Donald Trump's inauguration The post Steve Bannon Gives Apparent Nazi Salute During CPAC Speech, Mirroring Elon Musk | Video appeared first on TheWrap.
Germany is literally right on the edge of their own fascist issues right now. The symbolism may not be as directly 1to1 as America. But the outcomes are building up to be the same. Germans learned all the wrong lessons from their past and now the “never again” seems to be “well, again, but only to Muslims this time. We promise it stops there”
How’s that song go? “Tell them that the Nazis never really went away”. They weren’t kidding.
it’s worse than that, we shift all the guilt about antisemitism and nazism onto muslims, so that they’re perceived as the actual nazis and we’re innocent happy fellows who are bestest of friends with The Jews™ who just happen to all support and live in israel and no other jewish opinion or existence is allowed or acknowledged. the palestinian genocide really is a denazification, israel is just cleaning up little hitler babies with daily bomb and drone strikes.
Up until the last decade wars were mostly fought due to resources that were needed to survive. We only recently have been able to perfect agriculture output to feed the entire world several times over.
Unfortunately, we have not been allowed to transition to a more humanitarian based economic system. Most world powers are still operating on imperialism and capitalist exploitation. At least in the past conflicts were often inevitable results of scarcity (or the fear of it at least).
I would give humanity more time. We need to weed out the parasites of capitalism and nationalism. We are living in an age that is struggling against them. Keep faith in that struggle. It likely will not end in our lifetimes. The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to be able sit.
Funny, I believe the exact opposite propositions. A human has the potential to be brilliant and beautiful but humanity will never be as intelligent as an ant colony.
Yeah, straight up disagree.
People are not individually brilliant, we are the result of hundreds of generations of iteration and resilience. No one has built and started from zero even people like me that avoids others.
People are not superheroes, they aren’t individual creators they are at the new end point of the neverending colony.
But the individual will always let you down. They are not as perfect or incredible as our beliefs in them.
i think the only way we can survive and create a successful egalitarian society is by having some sort of overlord ruling over us
so for example let’s say we write a constitution and then have a super-powered generalized artificial intelligence machine force us to follow the rules
I personally think we have to find a way to eliminate psychopaths, sociopaths, narcassists and other cluster B’s from any kind of role of power. Not just government but also business.
Couple years ago I was drinking in Prague in the middle of the night and came across these German teenagers doing it and they told me “it’s great we are allowed to do this in Czech Republic” lol

I’m really struggling with the idea that humanity doesn’t deserve to survive. Its just mind blowing how stupid and disgusting people can be.

Don’t lose faith comrade.
I don’t struggle with it at all. I accepted it decades ago. I suppose it makes the end of the world easier to deal with.
Humanity can be incredible, but humans sucks.

There’s an AfD poster doing the rounds right now where the adults are doing the fascist salute.
Weird, that poster was hung up in July 2024 and originally made the rounds then.
What i mean with that is:
They come over, do the Hitlergruß, then get arrested and heavily fined because its highly illegal to do that in germany
Couple years ago I was drinking in Prague in the middle of the night and came across these German teenagers doing it and they told me “it’s great we are allowed to do this in Czech Republic” lol
I have pics of them doing it, absolutely wild
It’s actually banned in Czech Republic as well. Not surprising, considering some of the atrocities of the Nazis there
