“See, Hitler did tariffs. That means trump is Hitler.”
Edit: commie scum. The lot of ya.
Interesting article and it only adds to the current list of Nazi bullshit from Krasnov and his supporters.
Uh-oh
It’s just a coincidence.
That historical fact is just joking.
It’s what history talks about in locker rooms!
“Awkward economics”
According to DeepSeek, the average price of eggs has increased 258% since 2018.
So far.
For Hitler and Nazi Germany it certainly was a way to prepare for expansionist wars: https://www.richardjevans.com/lectures/autarky-fantasy-reality/
There are several countries that Trump said he wants to annex.
Canada here. Hello! Anyone?
China cut off rare earth minerals and more needed for your war machine. Canada has this in its earth. Along with all the oil, natural gas, coal, water, wood and many other natural resources you will need since you will pretty soon have zero trading partners.
He needs most rare earth, steel and aluminum to continue his reign of terror and spin up your war manufacturing even more. We have those and some means of production as well.
We are Poland or Ukraine right now, in various times in history.
Is like poetry, it rhymes…
„Es gibt immer wiederkehrende Zyklen, Höhen und Tiefen, aber der Verlauf der Ereignisse ist im Wesentlichen der gleiche, mit kleinen Abweichungen. Man hat gesagt, dass sich die Geschichte wiederholt. Das ist vielleicht nicht ganz richtig; sie reimt sich lediglich.“
Theodor Reik
“There are recurring cycles, ups and downs, but the course of events is essentially the same, with minor variations. It has been said that history repeats itself. That may not be entirely true; it merely rhymes.” Theodor Reik
You see, the — the thing about Star Wars is — is that it’s — it’s like poetry, you know — it rhymes. Every stanza kind of — kind of rhymes with the last one.
There’s — there’s no underwear in space. That’s — that’s the rule. We didn’t — we didn’t have bras in space. So — so she had to tape them down. It’s just — you know — it’s a space thing.
Well — you know — the music, uh — it’s not like rock music, or — or electronic stuff. It’s — it’s very classical. Very old-fashioned. Because — because it’s set in space, but — but it’s not futuristic. It’s — it’s more like a — like a space opera. That’s what it is — a space opera It’s — it’s why the music is what we — well I call it jizz.
Hypothetically, if this comic book copy of the Nazis would be just an act, what could be the benefit?
Isn’t owning the libs benefit enough?
Letting the market be easily bought up by corpos?
And straight driving anyone who can’t whether the storm out of business. Especially once the “exceptions” start rolling in.
I would say this is the WORST (not really) attempt to try to connect the current American state to Nazi Germany. There are much much better comparisons when considering class conflict. I guess I’m the “idiot” and this is likely good propaganda for the “normies” in our current state. So maybe I’m out of touch in that regard. But the connections are far more important than the price of eggs.
I don’t really wanna give more here because I’m tired but for anyone that cares: Just read and you’ll get some perspective
I guess I like the simple levels of comparison but I think anyone that actually would be convinced by it needs more perspective.
Obvious/surface level/aesthetic comparisons change hearts & minds. Nobody’s reading 160 pages of book unless they agree (broadly) with you already. Headlines & theory serve different functions.
Wow really? History really does repeat itself and not just rhymes… fuck me.
Trumpler.
It is almost like the Orange Turd is a Nazi.
he has mentioned the nazis many time, and wished he had people like them on his administration.
You mean the people that started the second world war with some of the most advanced military hardware and brilliant tactical commanders of their day and still managed to blow it?
He has only been sighted reading one book:
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”
Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi? Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler’s speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler’s genius at propaganda
The playbook is there, is being followed, you people have the 2nd amendment and I have no idea why these people walk freely while you struggle to pay rent and pay your meals
When the 2nd Amendment was written, a bunch of (trained) dudes with muskets represented the pinnacle of military power (at least if there wasn’t any artillery around, even back then). So the 2nd Amendment gave the people the right to possess sufficient military power to counter the federal government. Today, having a closet full of peashooters means absolutely fucking nothing to a government with armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters, airplanes, cruise missiles, intercontinental missiles and nukes at their disposal. The idea that the 2nd Amendment represents an antidote to a tyrannical federal government is just as much of a fantasy for the Left as it always has been for the Right.
Legalize 6th-gen fighter jets. Give me my Pepsi harrier!
Sure. The US military can just start murdering everyone in the country with their superior firepower. Then the economy is gone and so are the relatives and friends of the soldiers.
Look at Israel failing to militarily defeat Hamas. And that is not only with the firepower difference but also with decades of supremacist indoctrination and a near total disregard for the human life of the people they designate as enemies.
Look at how the Ukrainians took over their country in 2014, throwing stones and pushing garbage cans as shields against the army and police shooting at them.
If the people in the US were dedicated to oppose a fascist takeover, they would win. Yes people will die in the process, but the idea that the army would just massacre everyone without hesitation from a human perspective is far fetched, just as the idea of the government and their cronies happily affording to loose large parts of the population is far fetched.
I wouldn’t say it’s nothing. It’s a lot less meaningful that it used to be but it can still be effective. Whoever killed that CEO last year only needed a basic gun and they managed to make America slightly better with it.
civilian resistance has been notoriously hard for modern militaries to deal with.
hardened targets like tanks have become increasingly vulnerable.
drones are still scary, but anybody can use drones.
if you believe you’re already defeated, then you probably are. i have no respect for cowards and pacifists.
I’ve been relentlessly posting this stuff early and asking why no one is mounting a resistance. Telling people to buy guns and go to immigrant neighborhoods and protect people.
I’m getting hammered with responses and PM’s. It’s crazy the way they think and act in this moment. It’s very telling about their society and what will happen when they allow the wars to come to us.
No one’s talking about fighting the military. You just form an armed mob like the black panthers did and scare politicians into submission lol. 330 million guns and people in this country no one needs to fire a shot at anyone.
Like Reagan made gun control laws real quick. We should learn from our own recent history
I wouldn’t say “no chance”. Last summer Trump was a few inches from being a chunkful of splattered History.
Of course the idea that the population could take the US military full-on is ridiculous. But resistance doesn’t have to take the shape of traditional warfare, and anything would be better than the current overwhelming apathy that is the response to being governed by literal Nazis.
The regime can use drones but not the population. That’s would be wrong.
Lots of times this is brought up so I question you this. Why has no one organized cyber warfare against your regime?
Why are we in the outside world not yet supporting American revolutionists via the internet? Everyone seems to have connection. Loads have experience in IT in some way. Just Lemmy alone is full of Americans who fear bullets but own computers.
No bullets inside computers.
I’ll probably get reported for inciting violence.

A land of armed dissidents who can’t be bothered. They won’t walk so lightly into Canada as heir drumpfkins continually threatens and they did and continue to do with your formerly democratic institutions. I can assure you of that.
Never even learned from the poor people you invaded and killed for the past century or more who fought back with much, much less than you have easily available. You’ll praise the man in Tiananmen Square from behind the internet box, who stood up to a line of tanks with, what was it again? Oh yea, a couple of bags of groceries.
But you won’t do shit for yourself and actively argue against any suggestion as being farcical.
All talk no action. Shouldn’t be a hard defeat when the war comes. Sorry but we’ll be considering people like you, responsible.
Why has no one organized cyber warfare against your regime?
I mean … the US government (the NSA specifically) can basically read anybody’s electronic communications and let themselves into any networked device younger than 25 years old. If there were to be any kind of successful resistance to this administration, it couldn’t be “cyber” in any way.
Right so more excuses. You should deal with your dictator problem. It’s affecting the world. Scared of bullets, won’t even try from the couch. Your society is fucked.
If it’s such an issue, travel outside the country as a citizen, you can do that…right now at least. The internet exists in all sorts of different places in the world as do partisans against American authoritarian rule.
Perhaps you were unaware.
What could you be possibly so worried about from the downfall of America? state exactly what kinda cyber war activities you think we should be doing? You just want us to go march on Washington DC with guns and start shooting at people and indiscriminately? I’m just confused why you’re so scared you’re over here trying to get us to do something about it and I’m wondering what you think we could possibly be doing right now. Like if we’re not interested in doing something for ourselves what would make you think that we would care what the fuck you think? or what consequences you face?
I face the eminent invasion and occupation of my country for its natural resources to continue the 'murican war machine against the world. Cause China cut you off for your war machine production due to your baby tyrants tarrifs. Yet the only real economy you possess any longer domestically is based on war production. Your dictator has repeatedly threatened the sovereignty of our nation and annexation. He has instigated a trade war and economic warfare on his closest ally and one of your largest trading partners. His takeover does not stop at some imaginary line on a map. It’s not just your country in peril from the dictator you have enshrined in the courts to have the ultimate authority and then voted in as your president. You probably didn’t notice though because you’re busy being American and not giving a shit about anyone else.
You do nothing and I get fucked too as do my countrymen. Your American exceptionaliam is rank. Fuck everyone else as long as I get mine.
Canada is Poland 1937-38 or Ukraine pre 2002 right now. The world knows. Perhaps you should recognise it as well since it’s happening because of you.
But I have no right to speak out. I have no right to be worried. I have no right to continually and unashamedly tell you that you are a population of fools until such time you act otherwise. Kindly go fuck yourself.
The whole US canada border has close historical side, the US part has a lot of guns and hunters. We will be coming in large numbers to help you if you need it. Until then help yourself, improve ties with europe, secure your food supplies and trade routes, get ready for a great depression. So much fear projecting out there. Be brave, be purposeful. Don’t put words in my mouth or maybe i’ll have a change of heart before the invasion and decide to share in your cowardice when it is time for actions.
We’ve got way bigger problems then you so unless you’ve got some useful advice no ones considered just chill. also if your paying attention, war efforts are shifting to the southern border and on china. No ones talked about canada in 30 days. The admins attention span is 30 minutes, the 51st state is in the past now hopefully. We’ve got new terrors to unleash on ourselves and the world.
Well fortunately for you, I’m a Mainer and will absolutely be fighting alongside of you on the Canadian border if that ever happens so be fucking nice cause we don’t really know what else to do besides prepare and hope the shit doesn’t hit the fan. I’m doing my best on the angry mob front but people are not angry. There is not much we can do as one person, or even a million people. We are fragmented geographically and ideologically in our own communities. Communication and information is damn near impossible. I know whats happening bro, we don’t know what to do. As mentioned we have guns and ammo. I don’t know which one of my neighbors I can trust. The whole Nazi germany thing happened a while ago. There are very important nuances to resistance to consider and the rules are being re-written.
Anywhoo lets hope we don’t have to meet up in New Brunswick, but I will be there to answer the call. There will be plenty of Mainers heading up to help you guys. The current administration can’t even pull off an attack on Yemen without broadcasting it to the world, I think we’ll have some warnings before we invade canada. Not even sure if they can pull it off.
My money is still on a global depression, so maybe secure your food supplies and stop worrying about shit you can’t change. These guys arn’t competent enough to weild the military to attack an ally neighbor. They are white supremists and canada is full of good english-y whites. The admin hasn’t even looked your way in a month, keep your head down and just hope America implodes, go align with europe I have faith it will work out for you guys. You’re not the one getting skull fucked by brainworms on a national scale lmao
my God man pull it together. You fucking sound like you’re losing it. Why don’t you focus on your own problems at home. Cyber war against who, partisans fight who? Like do you have a strategy in mind or are you just full of panic and trying to insight violence.
Like seriously what country are you from so I can better understand what you’re implying we do
I am Canadian. You continue to not act and I am just as fucked as you. We will mount a resistance though. Many are already economically and many individuals are openly preparing for war. Taking classes, buying guns, training for first aid, joining mutual aid orgs, saving money to fly their kids out of country if they can, when it becomes necessary. I am doing my part at home thank you.
Funny that we can see what’s necessary as can the rest of the world but you are blind to it and fight against recognising it for what it is.
As a Canadian the developments that are happening right now make me highly opposed to the gun bans that have been happening. Almost all semi-automatic rifles are banned and it isn’t doing a dent to the crime. Licensed Canadian gun owners were never a problem. Canada never had a gun problem even when there was next to no gun control here.
We need community defense and a ready made resistance force, like the home guard in Britain during ww2.
Okay, so I’m already ahead of you on that entire list. What next? Help others do the same? Okay doing that too? Any other suggestions Canada? Like we hear you bro. We’re down here. It’s disorienting and you don’t know whos on who’s side. 70% of the public doesn’t even sense anythings wrong. Please we need guidance you let us know what to do next?
Don’t forget drones.
Also don’t forget the times the superior weaponry of the government was used against our own citizens. Things such as fire bombing our own city blocks or using turrets against protestors.
Are you guys really that scared of the military being used on you in the country? I’m ashamed of all of you. You sound like total cowards. It’s an irrational fear and it’s just a beacon of cowardice. nobody’s gonna drone strike your stupid little suburb.
TL;DR you don’t understand shit about America.
I’ve been here for 40 fucking years. I can walk right up to my 80 year old senators house and say hey bitch time to step down. There’s no army there. It’s okay to be afraid, it’s not okay to fearmonger up your delusions. Just stay home and quit crying. Go back to playing video games. I’m just looking for a hundred thousand people to help pressure congress people to step down by making them unwelcome in their home towns.
Yeah. It really is a good thing that nothing has happened in modern US history to make people think that the government would use military ordinance against civilians. /s
Well I guess we should all just hide, and project fear online until they come for us individually! Great idea coward. I’ll get right on that.
Glad that you’re fully informed on everyone’s life situation and acceptable risk profile, putting you in a great place to cast judgement on others. /s
Shit, I meant to add drones to the list.
Might as well use it to just shoot up schools then
Right tool for the right job.
Congratulations for understanding the true American spirit.
Because 99.9999% of us prefer shitty life with our favorite distractions to death or prison.
There comes a point where that life isn’t preferable anymore, but then it’s too late.
Thing is. It is their first time. Most of Europe knows how this ends because generations that lived under a dictator are still alive today. Children of those generations are alive today and have first hand accounts of how it was.
Murrica has none of that.
And if any tankie is reading it. I am talking about soviets. Not nazis.
Agreed, but the Bread and Circus of centuries and millenia past have become extremely good. There wasn’t even a term for air conditioning, either.
To get serious, citizens have to give up a lot of creature comforts. I don’t see them doing that.
But Hitler made no effort to reassure the markets, insisting that the tariffs were necessary and that he needed time to fix the ruined country his predecessors had left him… Hitler provided scant details as to how this was to be accomplished. By this point, he had broken even with the tariff cheerleader Feder, and had abandoned most of the action items for developing a nationalist and socialist economy. These items had included increased taxation of the wealthy; state supervision of large corporations; and the prohibition of “new department stores, low-priced shops, and chain stores.”
Man, this stuff sounds very familiar.
Somehow he keeps forgetting about the taxation of the wealthy. I’m baffled as to why
/S
Trumps whole political career has been right out of hitlers playbook. Unfortunately it has never been enough evidence for anyone to care. Even more unfortunately I think it resonates with a lot of people.
It’s just a really quick way to start extracting money from the people you’ve subjugated. They will complain, and suck it up.
Where? Because compared to this, what Trump is doing is amateurish and half-assed.
Trump is going half way on half the things, on taxing the rich Trump is doing the opposite, and he is wavering on the other things because he doesn’t know what he is doing.
But maybe it’s enough, because apparently the MAGA crowd still supports him!Well, yeah - the article was saying “These items had included increased taxation of the wealthy.” They mean things that Hitler’s team planned to do but Hitler backed out of and didn’t do, going full tilt on tariffs.
During the GFC the new deal and tariffs caused capital flight, which dramatically increased the great depression. Turns out markets don’t like regime change.
