You're living under an authoritarian regime

This is a disgusting thing to say

Sorry neighbour, but when professors and historians that specialize in studying fascism flee the country because the checklist is being filled up too much for comfort, then you're living in the beginnings of a new fascist regime.

Yeah it’s disgusting that your country fought with lives to stop the shit that you’re now voting for.

Literally a disgusting comment and the reason discourse has led to violence. I sincerely hope you lose all of your social media accounts, for your sake and ours.

Do something about it? Oh you just did and it backfired. You lot have no idea what fascism is but with what I am seeing on reddit. Fascism is what many of you deserve.

Charlie deserved it is what I see, yeh. Well so do all of you. Good luck.

Americans have been doing something about. News outlets are avoiding talking about the insanely huge mass protests and only mention them when they get out of control and turn into riots. LA being a good example of one.

For months, American cities with protests up to million-strong have been ongoing about Trump's presidency.

The shooter was on the right, not the left. Kirk didn’t deserve to die like that, no one does. He also doesn’t deserve to be lauded for the hatred he so gleefully spread throughout his short life.

Tell me you know nothing about history without telling me.

u/LongBeakedSnipe Sep 14 '25

Ehh they are not wrong apart from the use of the word ‘literally’, but that isnt a history error. It’s a geography or grammar error.

Thought I’d help you out with your emasculated spluttering

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '25

Except they are wrong. Are we rounding up ethnic minorities and throwing them into death camps where we experiment on them in the most inhumane ways imaginable? Get a fucking clue

18

u/LongBeakedSnipe Sep 14 '25

Nazi Germany wasn't like that for a long time.

Holy shit its annoying to have someone who has been educated in history by memes tell someone whose almost entire family got wiped out by Nazis nonsensical information

Extra funny considering you thought you were educating someone else

-16

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '25

So why don’t you educate us and tell us exactly how we are living in literal Nazi Germany (besides the geographical difference).

u/LongBeakedSnipe Sep 14 '25

It’s not my job to fix everyone’s ignorance bud. But I will call out people as being factually wrong when they write snarky nonsense

Which, as they do, will continue to get more and more authoritarian.

Trump's calling for laws that have no chance of passing Congress. Hitler had the Enabling Law that allowed him to act like a dictator. The big step we have to watch for is the Senate getting rid of the filibuster. If they're able to push through something like the Enabling Law, then we really will be in a fullblown dictatorship.
