The #ConvictedFelonTrumpRegime is a #WhiteNationalChristoFascistRegime . As a student of history, I see Its playbook rhymes with that of the #ThirdReich. I shall thus be calling it the #FourthReich. #Politics
Thinking some Hands Off folks don't want to face up to the Dems being genociders alongside Trump and still feel that they can convince enough folk that funding and getting behind their genocide party is going to fix America.
And maybe it would for those USians OK with being #GenocideComplicit.
s/
Who'd think that doing genocide would make a #AMorePerfectUnion, or The #ThirdReich, illegitimate?

It was open to Biden to act against Bibi.
But nah. And now Trump kills too.
Is this what we have waiting for us, during the rest of this Fascist Administration?
If so, it brings an historic event to mind:
In the 1930's, #IBM's punched-card reader technology was requested by the #ThirdReich so as to conduct a census of the German population.
I think most of us here know what that led to...
So should I say...Here we go again??

That has been the fascists' standard operating procedure ever since the #ThirdReich, as artfully described in #MartinNiemöller's poem #FirstTheyCame:

It is not original thinking, though. The great military strategist, #SunTzu postulated in his principle of #Subversion thousands of years ago:
"5. SPREAD DISUNITY AND DiSPUTE AMONG THE CITIZENS;" (#TheArtOfWar).)

The#NextCivilWar is already in full flight.
It's the sort of headline that some may dismiss as hyperbole. But fair to say that @theforward knows a thing or two about the #ThirdReich and isn't inclined to make these sorts of comparisons lightly. #USPol #Journalism #Censorship #History https://forward.com/opinion/702025/trump-media-assault-hitler-third-reich-goebbels/
SOME PEOPLE don't learn from #history. Most of them are called #Politicians.

Prime Minister #GiorgiaMeloni accused #Russia of "offending the entire #Italian nation" on Friday as she stood by comments by the #ItalianPresident that compared modern-day #Russia to #NaziGermany.
In a speech last week, President #SergioMattarella criticized the "wars of aggression" that led to #WorldWarII. "This was the project of the #ThirdReich in #Europe. The current #Russian aggression against #Ukraine is of this nature," he said
I wish all those books about the Third Reich weren't so terribly, terribly relevant these days.

(comment on „Neger, Neger, Schornsteinfeger!“)
A fear 80 years ago was the Third Reich having an atomic bomb.
The Fourth Reich has thousands of them, including missiles.
How does MAD work when the overly confident incompetent are in control?
This shock and awe policy push is modeled on the blitzkreig
“The Third Reich was one of the most male-supremacist regimes in history, valorizing a concept of hypermasculinity expressed through ‘toughness’ and ‘hardness.'”

MEDALLIONS:
Eight #ShortStories of #Nazi Atrocities in #Poland and the Fates of Their Victims
by Steve Hudson, Zofia Nalkowska
https://stevedustcircleus.wordpress.com/medallions/
https://books2read.com/u/boVYRA
More than mere #historical record, Medallions offers the reader startling immediacy, the repetition of an event as it persists in the #testimonial present, in the scars on the consciousness and conscience of individuals.

"Brunner became a confidant of the elder #Assad, who had just been appointed defence minister. When Assad seized power in a 1970 coup, Brunner helped the new regime set up an effective system of repression, inspired by the practices of the #ThirdReich." #History #Tyranny #Genocide #Syria #MiddleEast #France24 https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20241212-alois-brunner-the-nazi-war-criminal-at-home-in-assad-s-syria
>> we made a mistake protecting the #USSR from the #ThirdReich and should have just continued on from Berlin to Moscow in order to help rid the world of more fascists
After #Germany was defeated, the #UnitedStates still needed the help of #Soviets to fight #Japan in the East, as discussed at #Yalta in Crimea.
It was only later that the development of Atomic Bomb allowed #Truman to give a unilateral ultimatum to #Japan at #Potsdam in occupied Germany, while USSR was still neutral
To focus on the actual threat we are facing, I wish #America’s top #pundits would spend less time watching reruns of The #WestWing and maybe pick up a copy of The Rise and Fall of the #ThirdReich.

>> We already fucked up half the world and got beat to a pulp by the other
#ThirdReich was an aberration that will pale in comparison to what #MAGA and #Trump are openly planning to unleash upon the world if he comes to power.

Of course #Russia continues to fuck up the world with #CRINK partnership.
#China will really fuck up everything and everybody in the next global conflict.
"As noted by commentator Lindy Li on Twitter, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman has written 265 stories about 'Hillary’s emails' and 141 articles about Joe Biden’s age. Certainly, Trump's Nazi leanings deserve as least as much coverage as the non-story about Hillary’s emails. To date, the Times has published one story on Trump's use of Hitler’s language."

.....#Nazi #henchmen he considered friends when he spent a day at the #WarCrimes trials in #Nuremberg in 1946. ...King, who never failed to inform his Nazi hosts that he was born and raised in the German settlement of Berlin, Ontario (Kitchener), paid a return visit to the old-country Berlin to view the devastation wrought on the capital of the #ThirdReich by #Hitler — the man, King had confided to his diary, whom he believed “might come to be thought of as one of the saviours of the world.”
#PierceMorgan gets eviscerated by Prof. #MuhammadMirandi from #Teheran, previously a top-notch adviser to #Iran's nuclear negotiations team.
Everyone should try to take a 1930's perspective and mentally substitute #Israel by the #ThirdReich or #Mussolini's #Italy and Iran by an opposing Allied Power like the UK or the US.
After listening to this debate, the West's, including Israel's, position doesn't have that much standing anymore.
