Nazis

Normalizing fascism.

The sooner we accept we've reached that stage, the sooner we can do something about it.

I'm not holding my breath.

I have changed nothing,

Yeah, it's almost like this isn't about you. It's almost like it's about a major world power openly embracing fascism and neo nazis.

Get off the internet if it bothers you.

Found the 1930s era German that said "it is what it is".

I don't understand why you're being downvoted at all. The internet fucking sucks and it's steadily getting worse. It's all so negative. I grew up with the internet and learned to never feed the trolls. But seems like an entire generation weren't taught this. It's like an endless cycle of trolls/bots posting inflammatory, controversial and toxic shit then people losing their minds over it and circle jerking over their moral superiority.

Can't we just go back to sending racist and derogatory Xbox live messages to people who beat you in a video game FFS.

If we keep going, we can make this an echo chamber yet!

Sometimes I can't understand why I'm so joyless and cynical, then I read some of the comments on Lemmy and feel a lot better about myself!

Well, go do something about the Nazis and people will stop talking about them. If you want a feed to the world outside of your head, thay means dealing what what everyone else is talking about.

You can always just go jerk off in the shower and STFU about it

This is every fucking conversation I have with my right leaning friends at this point.

No we all said watch the fuck out the nazis are buying up everything and even wrote a nazi playbook. The fuckin wolf was real all along. Fucking morons just decided to ignore. The boy lied in the story. He didn't lie here.

They’re still working on it.

Start calling them Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, to start.

Honestly, the simple act of doing that has calmed a lot of the dissonance in my brain.

what does this guy have against nazi's?

[email protected]

Gentlemen gentlemen that's just a actor on his way to a show.

[email protected]

Kinda weird that its only an echo chamber when it leaves out the right.

Lemminary

He can nazi what the other guy's saying.

Lemminary

heart went out

That cold, shriveled, thorny accessory organ flew across the room at match speed and took someone's eye out.

Lemminary

There's always that one commenter, eh.

You personally? Sure. But there have been people online misusing the word (and similar things) for fucking ages, going back at least as far as 2010.

This goes back a lot farther than the last election campaign, farther back than Trump's first "reign", farther back than his first campaign even.

::: spoiler Background on Jon Stewart for those unaware of him
Jon Stewart has been out of the public eye for a long time, so I expect there's some people around unaware of his work. Did a comedy news show for years where he tore into the bullshit going on in the world, in the news, and in news orgs like Fox hiding behind a false "both sides" narrative back when they still cared enough to fake it. He got Crossfire cancelled when they were stupid enough to invite him on for an interview and were shocked that he wasn't willing to be a comedian on a show that claimed to be real news and he instead systematically and thoroughly called them out as the travesty they were.
:::

Jon Fucking Stewart called out the dilution of labels through overuse in his closing speech at the Rally to Restore Sanity in 2010. The rally done as a reaction to the Tea Party rally in D.C.

That is to highlight that the "boy who cried wolf" shit was happening all the way back then and was already a big problem.

"If we amplify everything we hear nothing. There are terrorists and racists and Stalinists and theocrats but those are titles that must be earned. You must have the resume. Not being able to distinguish between real racists and Tea Partiers or real bigots and Juan Williams and Rick Sanchez is an insult, not only to those people but to the racists themselves who have put in the exhausting effort it takes to hate--just as the inability to distinguish terrorists from Muslims makes us less safe not more. The press is our immune system. If we overreact to everything we actually get sicker--and perhaps eczema."

People didn't get the fucking message, which gave cover for the real racists and nazis to slither around and significantly helped to get us where we are today.

Where an over rich manchild clearly on some sort of substances can give two half assed sieg heils, and then follow it up with the most half assed excuse during a fucking presidential inauguration and instead of being tackled by security and hauled the fuck off never to be seen again, people are sitting around giving him the benefit of the doubt.
