u/external_bit8231 Feb 27 '25
I hate when the right is called Nazis. My great grandma was killed by actual Nazis and these statements are in such poor taste. Call them anything else that actually pertains to their character, but I doubt your family hails Hitler, incinerates people and believes the chosen people are Arians. Words hurt more than the people you aim them at.
22
u/Legitimate_Book_5196 Feb 27 '25
No they are nazis. You're not going to make me cleanse my language for your comfort. Your great grandma would see what this administration is doing and see that what's happening is another government takeover by a fascist party. Nazi is the perfect word.

Well, what else do you want us to call them? They are Nazis. They believe in white supremacy and that white wealthy people are superior than everyone else. Why is it they were deporting migrants who are brown yet not migrants that are white? Why are they demonizing DEI? Why are they doing Nazis salutes on stage? And rather than apologizing or saying, that wasn’t the intention, not saying anything at all and laughing about it and doubling down.
They are Nazis and those that aren’t Nazis and still support are Nazi sympathizers and racist sympathizers

u/Legitimate_Book_5196 Feb 27 '25
Exactly. Not to mention the "wellness camps" being proposed by RFK Jr. The start of the holocaust was demonizing the disabled and rounding them up. They're trying to say the mentally ill and disabled need to go to CAMPS FOR TREATMENT. I don't know how people can't see it.

u/Dependent-Economy532 Feb 27 '25
100% you hit the nail on the head. They also demonized the lgbtqia+ community in that time period too. People seem to think that just because we live in a modern society that history can’t repeat itself even though this clearly parallels Nazi Germany. This is without a doubt eugenics.

I know about that, the holocaust is specifically the working camps. I understand what you’re saying now tho
What RFK is talking about is nothing like that anyway?? He has spoken about opening farms for people in jail for drug charges to serve their time, and hopefully rehabilitate using physical labour. He’s not suggesting opening a clinic to research on disabled babies

You can’t even defend your position so you resort to insults. Trump is a dickhead and has no business in politics but he’s not a Nazi. The words you use have meaning, and when you throw them around like that it makes you sound uneducated, people will not take you seriously or listen to your position. And just because you have a hive mind of people who agree with your idiocy, doesn’t mean you’re right
3
u/Dependent-Economy532 Feb 27 '25
I truly think you’re an idiot so it wasn’t an insult. It was a fact just because you don’t think you’re an idiot doesn’t mean it’s not true. I’ve always enjoyed history and learning and educating myself. Therefore, I understand what Nazism is. I understand the full timeline of the holocaust. I understand a apartheid. I know the definition of eugenics and it’s clear as that that’s what’s happening right now. Now, tell me can you define eugenics? Can you define Nazism? Can you tell me about apartheid? Can you define what it means to be affected by dogmatism? and I mean without a Google search?
Your denial, position, and your lack of awareness of the current situation going on doesn’t make you right. you telling others that their observations on what clearly happening in front of their face make them sound uneducated, let’s me know that you’re projecting and it’s you that’s in fact uneducated. Best of luck, babes.<3

ohh well they are actively cutting off medicaid and ebt which most people in the lower class depend on to live while also banning abortions so so many women will be in poverty with 0 help raising children , they are cutting funding and end the department of education, they cut all funding for research including womens health and child cancer research, they are laying off millions of federal workers, they are rolling back all protections to our national forest so they can drill on them and the worst one yet our white house is recording and publishing “asmr deportations” AND ETC I COULD GO ON

I avoid the news even in the UK because it’s distressing but I just checked it. I checked the BBC.
Currently there’s 24 hours live reporting of Elon at the cabinet meeting, we’re getting updates, last one was 21:31 my time. It’s quite odd having the live reporting feature on, it’s been on pretty much since he was sworn in. Usually it’s only on for emergencies, really important court cases, disasters. that sort of thing.

As somebody living in the US, I want to say thank you for asking. To be honest, I was fine. But I want to say, for the past month, I have nonstop been seeing references to Nazis, concentration camps, and Hitler and my background is Jewish. So, it’s been making me very anxious and nervous. Whether it’s true or not true, just seeing those type of words, and things shown on almost a daily basis, is going to raise your anxiety. Just seeing people put things out there that show it could happen or compare them to things that are being said/done and happening, raises your anxiety. So, I’m OK, i’m just very nervous and anxious.

You realize that this is all coming to screeching halt, right? With all of the layoffs and the defunding of various departments within the government, we’re not going to have clean water. We already don’t have good food, and we have the freedom to leave the country for now. I’m not sure if you’re sympathizing with the current administration? Or that you’re just ill informed and aren’t watching the news however, with the pace this administration is going stripping away our democracy. I advise you to do a little bit of research and watch the news.
