FTFYI should be saying Illinois, but I will say - the fuck, White America?
Why would they do that?I'll shed no tears when these human garbage pieces of shit die horribly and painfully.
Oh damn, Adam Sessler with a truth bomb right here.
It's a quote from a fucking concentration camp, my guy. It is not this thread bringing Nazis into the equation, it is the protestors that this thread is about bringing Nazis into the equation.I am tired of this as well, because it derails arguments. See Reductio ad Hitlerum. I am not American and not commenting on this protest in Illinois, but it's clear to me that the protesters make use of shock advertising, which is "the employment of graphic imagery to highlight a public policy issue".
Give them a copy of MiklĂłs Nyiszli's Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eywitness Account and a cold jail cell. Only the most ardent white supremacist would emerge from that cage an unchaged man.
That's probably true. A complete lack of curiosity about the world outside of the USA (and probably a shit education) will make a person dumb for life.Nobody at that protest had any idea what that sentence really meant. They just knew it was anti-semitic because it was located at Auschwitz.
Yes, exactly. This is because we didn't do Reconstruction right. We let them off the hook and all we got was another 150ish years of misery and now we'll have to put them down again.Feels like the Confederacy never really died. It lived on as undercurrent converging with Nazism and now is finally coming up to the surface en masse thanks to Republicans and Trump. And a good Nazi is a dead one.
Which word would that be? "Arbeit" is literally just work without any further connotation if that's what you're referring toCompletely off-topic, but is that where the word for part-time jobs in Japanese comes from?!

Even ignoring the horrible racist shit in the sign, the sentiment makes no sense. Those who went to work under that banner, died, because it was a lie. Is she advocating for her people to be marched to their deaths? Like, unironically, yes, but is she saying she realizes that and wants it?? There's no possible way to parse this as anything other than extremely offensive and stupid.

She didn't only bring the slogan, she aimed it at a jewish guy whose family literally fled the Nazis. That part is even more despicable.[Brings concentration camp slogan and nazis signs to protest]
"How dare you call me a nazi!"
Eh, Nazism was pretty popular in the US prior to WWII fully starting. There is a reason the US stayed out of the war until Pearl Harbor.
Errr.... What? No. He was married once and only few hours before he commited suicide.
I think they might be thinking of Unity Mitford (had to google her name), an English woman who also had a relationship with Hitler, although they never married.Errr.... What? No. He was married once and only few hours before he commited suicide.

I mean our....."president" essentially supports them with emphasizing them a few years ago after one of them murdered someone with a car.These people don't understand that Nazis are the universal bad guys?
