And that’s supposed to be a bad thing?

Trump isn’t the only one. You have this trend all over the world. People know that it’s looking like Nazi. But,

The government’s inaction on foreseeable issues stemmed from a reliance on neoliberal principles, holding onto the notion that capitalism’s magic would resolve all problems—a perspective maintained for the past three decades.

Trump and others are the solution that they didn’t try. Plot twist, it won’t change, Nazi were capitalist. But, it’s like choosing between the worst and the really bad.

Him and Netanyahu should form some sort of axis alliance.

Nazi has been so overused that people aren’t listening to the word now that there is a valid thing to apply it too. They assume it’s the same overblown rhetoric.

You’re not wrong. I remember how Bush, McCain, Romney, Obama, Clinton, and others were called Nazis at different points. While it was never really taken seriously then (as it shouldn’t have been), the term has become virtually meaningless. Where the term was reserved for the worst-of-the-worst, for years, it was invoked at the slightest disagreement. Now that there’s a literal Nazi-adjacent person running and getting called out for it, it falls flat.

People were subjected to straight fascism from 2020 through 2022 and did nothing. They’ll put up with anything

“Nobody is paying attention”

Meanwhile every article you read and every political meme depicts him as a Nazi. No, I think we are well aware of what he is, dude.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

You know that interview with Kanye and Alex Jones where Yedolf starts saying a bunch of Nazi shit and Alex tries to coach him on how to dogwhistle it, but Mr Western Cultural Supremacy just starts saying it louder?

It’s like that. Everyone with a clue beforehand knew what was up, but now even the people with no clue at all can’t honestly deny it, not even the most generously slack-jawed “centrist.”

Of course, they still will, because they’re not honest, and that’s what some people just can’t wrap their heads around:

Conservatives aren’t honest, and do not operate on principles of good faith. There are still those who will deny his Nazi rhetoric is Nazi rhetoric, but they’re just lying.

Enforcing the status of America as a hegemon has required the export of fascism since the 50s. The way it’s commodified is very similar to how “anti-capitalism” is commodified, it’s not the thing that causes fascism it’s like a cultural manifestation of this.

banneryear1868 ,

That’s why he does it too, “nobody is paying attention” when it’s the biggest thing helping to define his political brand.

I think they’re confusing “not paying attention” with “not doing anything.” If the fear is genuine why isn’t there a popular front against Trump? People talk online as though they’re very concerned but you don’t really see anything happening to mount a resistance. Are people signing up to campaign for the Democrats over this, or are they just posting memes about it? Is it that nothing can be done and people feel completely powerless? Maybe everyone is just dug in at this point and we just have to watch this happen. In any case it’s pathetic to constantly hear how worried everyone is about fascist Trump while nothing is done about it. It’s like everyone is just reacting to politics happening and have no political agency of their own.

“what he is”… A former president? Because he sure as fuck isn’t a Nazi

gerowen ,

We’re all paying attention, the problem is that those who vehemently support him just literally don’t care and will vote for him anyway. He wasn’t wrong when he made the comment that he could shoot somebody in the middle of the street and get away with it. He literally orchestrated and attempted coups and got people killed because he threw a temper tantrum and couldn’t stand the thought of not getting his way.

cley_faye ,

Nobody in his sect is paying attention. The rest of the world is looking at this with anxiety.

dangblingus ,

Literally everyone is paying attention. Half of the population just loves Nazi rhetoric though because it makes them feel like winners, when in reality, they’re a bunch of cousin fuckers with IQs under 95. They don’t understand what the Republican party stands for traditionally, they don’t understand the religion they promote, they don’t understand how their own electoral system works (FPTP w/ EC), and they don’t know a damn thing about history.

Freedom. Unlike the Democrats that originally stood for slavery

Ironic to mention IQs when making an anti-Nazi statement

MightBe ,

This article would be more appropriate for the politics community, since it is an opinion article from the interview of Peter Simi regarding Trump.

I would not consider this as news.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Yeah that’s why newspapers refused to carry editorials, reader letters, and opinion pieces in general, because no one cares what the popular reactions to events are.

unreasonabro ,

geez, where are the reeducation camps when you need them

now i’ve noticed that there aren’t a lot of actual morons here, which is nice, but nevertheless i feel compelled to add:

Yes, I’m on the left, and yes, here, I have advocated the same fascist behaviour I am decrying. This is called fighting fire with fire. The right does it all the time, why would you think I couldn’t?

dangblingus ,

Maybe sit the next round out, my guy. No one is asking you about your tankie beliefs, and we don’t want to hear them.

He doesn’t deserve my attention. Not once in his miserable life has he ever said anything worth listening to.

I get that he’s a bigot, a narcissist, an authoritarian, a fascist, a gaping asshole. I don’t need daily reminders of that fact.

Authoritarians get their power from people who stand on the sidelines. Maybe you aren’t standing on the sidelines, but the constant deluge of worse and worse news is part of the strategy to burn you out and stay home when the election/revolution (depending on how things are going) starts.

That’s quite a leap. There’s a difference between checking out and understanding that Trump has nothing interesting to say.

If you spend a few nights reading the Wikipedia page for NSDAP and delve futher into research, I feel like you’d change your mind. We need to get vocal before we allow this to happen again. We need to express our anger towards anyone that wants what happened to happen again.

does not help when there are people not allowed to vote and the only other option is to vote biden who immediately went back on campaign promises such as firing staffers who were cannabis users

same person who ran with obama and chained someone to a chair for the sole reason she wanted the same rights as everyone else who was running for president and the same biden who is touting economic wins with a federal minimum wage of $7.25

this has been a problem before trump entered the stage and no trump did not make matters better

maybe the citizens should be allowed to hear from all the candidates and maybe who gets to be on the ballot should a federal issue and stop going state by state in a “united states” of america on every issue

AquaTofana ,

Is this the same Biden that just pardoned a bunch of cannabis users from serving their sentences?

And the same Biden who on 1 Jan 24, nearly half the US states will have their federal min wage raised?

Look, there’s plenty to criticize Biden for, mostly ALL of his Middle East actions (not just Gaza-Israel), but let’s not pretend he’s all bad and hasn’t tried to help his own people domestically.

verdantbanana ,
@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

only what 22 states are getting minimum wage raised

why quarter ass or less everything could have pardoned more but we need the legal slave labor

AquaTofana , (edited )

That’s why I said “nearly half” bruh. We have 50 states in the US and a few territories.

And yes, he didn’t pardon enough people. I will agree with you on that all day. But how many cannabis users did Trump or even Obama pardon from their sentences?

He’s making an attempt despite having a gridlock Congress, and I do commend him for that. That’s why I said “nearly half” bruh. We have 50 states in the US and a few territories.

Edit: I will concede federal minimum wage remaining stagnant at $7.25 does suck though. Biden can’t force one state to raise minimum wage over another. You got me there, that was a state-loving-their-constituents thing, not a Biden thing.
