Apparently it really is the case that anyone who isn’t white is somehow unqualified.
Send him and the rest of his MAGA fans into war for a while…
So making America great again clearly means a return to the era of rampant racism (did that ever really go away?). And sexism. And ableism. Only this time it’s going to be out in the wide open.
What’s next?
- Child labor?
- Slavery?
- Debtors’ prisons?
- Mental Institutions?
- Orphans for “deformed” children?
- Trail of Tears 2? (probably why he wants to annex Greenland and/or Canada)
This is gets more depressing as fuck every day.
Florida is on it already.
Florida considers bill to roll back child labor laws to fill jobs once held by undocumented migrants
They want minors to work night shifts and encourage people to home school their kids, so they can work more! Yay, progress.
Edit: Oh and they want to pay them below minimum wage!
He doesn’t care about America, simple as that. He is a Russian asset that is dismantling the Government, he is selling you all out whilst distracting you all with news like this.
The USA is dead.
I bet that if the internet existed in the 1930s the Nazi party would have scrubbed their official websites of any heroes who were not 100% aryan.
It would include Hitler’s CO. The guy who recommended he get his medals and called him a brave soldier.
Nono, he’s “one of the good ones”
Nope. He escaped the holocaust by an inch simply because he knew some people in the SS who were mildly sympathetic to him personally. He was exiled from Germany to Belgium and he managed to immigrate to the US just before the Germans invaded.
He passed away in the early 1960s in San Diego. He was one of the fortunate ones. Being Hitler’s CO didn’t do him any favors.
It sounds like it did do him favors. He wasn’t just fortunate, his bootlicking is what allowed him to survive in exile and immigrate to the US.
I read his wiki. There wasn’t much bootlicking there. He was stripped of his citizenship right away along with everyone else and was harassed like all Jews were at the time. I don’t think Hitler gave a flying fuck about his old CO. It wasn’t like his family doctor who did his best to save Hitler’s mother (for free I might add) whom Hitler did personally intervene and allow to immigrate to the US.
It’s crazy how DEI didn’t even exist then yet his base will agree that these types of move are ok. The DOD excuse is just going to be “we used AI”. That still has nothing to do with the fact that you’re erasing things that have nothing to do with DEI drop the A
Not according to my neighbor, Lincoln started DEI according to him.
and you can see why Navajo people are pissed all the time, i had one asa stem prof, and he was generally always angry, especially towards the USA, and that anger often transfer to his students, lashing out them from time to time. he has a distrust of people potentially “Stealing his reputation and work”.
I hate how even the most “neutral” articles about the heinous shit being done to the US government right now still manage to have a headline that makes it sound like it’s the outrage that’s the issue and not the active attempts by government officials to erase any trace of non-white American history
“Blast” in an article title is a pretty good indicator that it’s just bait for people who are already outraged about something.
Like, yeah, this shit disgusts me, but I doubt someone “blasting” Trump is gonna do anything about it.
Apparently it really is the case that anyone who isn’t white is somehow unqualified.
I mean DEI literally exists to remedy the problem of institutional white supremacy (amongst other related issues).
When someone is against DEI, that leaves the objective conclusion they’re either ignorant, and will change their mind when presented with reality, or they’re pro-white-supremacy—i.e. a Neo-Nazi fascist, with zero room for leeway.
The fight for equality is always the same no matter what new labels the fuckos put on their current theft of freedom.
I suspect that DEI is going to be one of the reasons why Dogey America would lose a civil war. Gay furry hackers DEI vs Hegseth DUI, there is no question about who has passion and competence. The only thing that Hegseth loves or knows is the bottle.
The one thing that might still save us is their virtuosic incompetence. Not just how stupid theyvare, but the fact that they’ve ejected ANYONE with competence, and replaced them with loyalists, no matter how stupid they are, or how terrible they are at their jobs.
But they’re stupider than that. The MAGA Nazis have given the gift of competence to their opposition. Now, all the American leadership with competence, intelligence, is now on the side of their enemy.
In addition, there are still many thousands of people still working in government who hate what is happening to them, their agencies, and their colleagues, and will be ripe and willing targets for espionage, sabotage, information, leaks, etc.
The MAGA Nazi government is surrounded by and filled with enemies and infiltrators, who far outnumber them.
I’ve been telling my husband, since he won, that he’s been given a near perfect opportunity for a fascist takeover (his horrendous first term whitewashed, more popularity than ever, more or less unchecked power in the current system) and he’s basically been pissing it away (though I don’t want to underpresume his capability at failing upward…).
A smart autocrat would have slowly broken norms while justifying himself by bending current rules; he’s gone straight to crashing the economy and smashing expectations people relied on faster than than anyone can keep track. Those who are in favor are denied plausible deniability that nothing has changed and those who’re hurting so bad they may not’ve cared can’t take hope that he’s making their lives better.
It’s incredible.
MAGA is a party of Socio/Psychpaths, who are mostly incapable of understanding the thoughts and feelings of others.
We know that they could have been wildly successful in realigning America along their philosophical lines, just by taking it slowly, but their sociopathic perspectives don’t see the advantage in that. They have clearly adopted the Nazi Playbook, which includes the Nazi strategy of Blitzkrieg, so they have embraced it as well. The difference is that Nazis didn’t care that the citizens might oppose them, because they were fully prepared from the beginning to ruthlessly eliminate all opposition by any means necessary.
But MAGA is American. Surely Americans wouldn’t take it as far as the original Nazis, would they?
Unless thats been the plan all along, and expanding Gitmo to include a facility to incarcerate 30,000 people seems to confirm that.
Blitzkrieg is not a Nazi strategy Germany had already been fighting WWI like that, or at least tried its hardest to do that, they used the term Bewegungskrieg (manoeuvre warfare) to contrast Stellungskrieg (trench warfare), that’s all there is to it. The German preference for decisive battles over wars of attrition dates back to at least Moltke the Elder, whence also Auftragstaktik (mission command) and “no plan survives first contact with the enemy”.
Then, the Nazis were way more deliberate and careful when taking over state institutions. And yes they did care about popular opinion that’s why they e.g. switched over to nabbing Jews in quiet instead of publicly making a show out of it didn’t play well with the population. Trump with Nazi strategy would be saying “We’ll re-take Cuba, get rid of socialism, and turn it into a beach resort and every American will be able to go to state-sponsored holidays there”. Like this, but bigger.
It’s kinda weird to say this as a German but when I look at other countries’ fascists they’re a clownshow. Nazis of course are also self-destructive, fascism inherently is, but there’s a fierce edge of competency in their madness.
That Signal leak? Under the Nazis, heads would be rolling, they would have no qualms bending actual incompetence into high treason to make an example to enforce discipline.
Pete Hegeseth has an iron cross on his chest. That should Tell you everything you need to know.
It’s actually a Jerusalem cross, which is a separate thing but… equally suspect in this context. It’s a symbol of the crusaders, so it goes right along with his “deus vult” one
Weird that I only ever hear about “Jerusalem crosses” from people trying not to look like neo-Nazis. Huh. Guess it’s like the apparently very well-known “Roman salute.”
I can’t imagine you have much daily contact with the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem of th Catholic Church, but they use it. National flag of Georgia too
The Jerusalem cross has actual historical backing, such as coins from 1200s Jerusalem, unlike the Roman salute which was just invented by a French painter
But of course, it’s obvious that Hegseth has it because of the association with the Crusades, not the Catholics of modern day Jerusalem or the country in the Caucasus. Anyone that genuinely wants to depict themselves as a crusader today is probably a white supremacist
Code Talkers are actual legends. Far beyond shameful to do this.
If they could feel shame they would be deeply upset by this
This is infuriatingly disrespectful… just fucking sickening.
They already scrubbed Ira Hayes.
What the fuck are they gonna do next, rename every Army helicopter?
They are all either officially named, or given an… official-unofficial name, after native tribes or chiefs as a sign of respect for their determination, tenacity and ferocity in combat.
Blackhawk.
Chinook.
Kiowa.
Little Bird.
Shawnee.
Choctaw.
Cheyenne.
… and the Commanche and Arapaho, though those never went into full scale production/adoption.
The Huey is actually named the Iroquois, it’s just that its original designation of UH-1 got … nickname-ized and became more prevalent.
…
Oh my fucking god.
https://www.jbsa.mil/News/News/Article/2404797/why-do-army-helicopters-have-native-american-names/
This was the page that described what I am talking about with helicopter naming conventions.
… they literally just affixed ‘dei’ to the page’s name, pointed the old page to redirect to this dei- affixed page, and are then manually refusing to serve anything with dei- affixed to it.
… anger noises …
If you wanna see a full list well I guess now you gotta go to wikipedia because Trump and Elon are racist fuck sticks.
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._military_equipment_named_for_Native_Americana
Maybe the fucking military should fucking say/do something? I dunno just a thought.
The military is supposed to be apolitical and not get involved. They’re not elected, so they don’t attempt to shift public policy… CONGRESS is supposed to advocate for things like this.
Well yes supposedly. But they have also sworn to protect the countries from enemies abroad and within.
From an outsiders perspective: you already have both with the latter leading the government
We are losing so much more than we realize this very moment. This is the true moment, not the election, when we decide if we want to move forward to a world that celebrates our differences, or one that imprisons us because of them.
He’s such a racist ass.
The only blasting I want to hear about him is if it involves fast moving projectiles.
We got so close…
There is literally no way to define this anti-DEI craze except saying “anyone who wasn’t white and male never helped with anything”. There isn’t even a veneer on it. It’s pure racism, sexism… probably many other isms.
Fascisms
Priapisms
