All of yours first, then.

It's not and it's a matter of time before either the second civil war or third world war happens.

Pleas guys, learn from the Brigate Rosse. Put him in a f*cking trunk (use a chrysler pt cruiser for the occasion please) and goodnight.

Sigh. I miss when Rage Against The Machine wasn't political.

What are you going to tell me next, that Tom Morello has a degree in political science? He should just stick to playing the guitar.

Found Paul Ryan's lurk account

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 29 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I understood that reference. Still cracks me up. What machine did he think they were raging against?

The fax machine.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's that home office printer, am I right?

Fuck you, I won't fill your cyan cartridge.

Rally round the paper feed. With a pocket full of clips. Ugh.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Actually, valid and more accurate to my currently greatest source of rage against (technical) machines you could know. Of all the projects I have to deal with at the moment, the one related to printers is my greatest frustration. Fuck printers, fuck printer software, fuck people using printers and fuck antiquated bureaucracy requiring so much physical paperwork still.

[–] urandom@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Hey, people are investing a lot of time to make sure CUPS works to some degree for at least some of the printers out there.

Y'all remember when Trump supporters danced to Rage Against the Machine? https://youtu.be/ddrFt1BHkUQ

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 22 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Of course they did, they're all dumb

Most Americans are seriously dumb. The illiteracy level is insane for a western developed country, especially the riches country in the world. It could ensure all its citizens are well educated but we'll educated citizens won't vote for fascists, they won't listen to the transparent bullshit lies of fox news and co, they won't vote Republican because fuuuuck that shit.

Republicans have worked pretty much since WWII, especially starting with Reagan, to ensure the US citizens are as dumb as possible, it keeps them in power.

So Magas dancing to killing in the name of is pretty normal for them, as they have no idea what they're doing, no idea what the song is about, no idea what RATM is about.

I'd feel sad for them if they weren't so dangerous to themselves, to everyone in the US, and everyone in the world. I honestly have no idea how to solve this part, after trump and Maga is gone. How do you deprogram millions of brainwashed idiots that barely finished highschool?

How do you deprogram millions of brainwashed idiots that barely finished highschool?

You educate their kids and wait for them to die, unfortunately. I mean in essence, the PC movement as a whole has worked for the most part, it's a slow gradual grind over many years, decades for some, tirelessly continuing to etch away at their bigotry.

But in short, to truly get rid of it, you wait for them to die.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 1 points 12 hours ago

Easier than you think. Just thrive. Be an example.

Oh. There's a difficult bit as well... You have to get rid of any sociopaths that start talking to them or it'll all happen again.

We need socialism

[–] Knightfox@lemmy.world 27 points 20 hours ago

The Trump administration is quoting Nazis, why am I not surprised?

[–] CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 136 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Being a leftist is fun because the fascists have threatened to purge entire communities in response to violence against ICE and we’re arguing about the historicity of the quote and whether displaying a phrase on a podium is technically a quote or not.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

What violence against ICE?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Doesn't matter about reality, they can respond to any thing they say, made up or not.

[–] CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

The Trump administration has classified things like recording ICE on your phone as violence, and is using that to claim that violence against ICE is is up 400 bajillion percent.

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 3 points 13 hours ago

That's a false dichotomy: it's possible to argue about menial things AND conduct meaningful actions at the same time.

Also, the majority of Lemmy users are outside the US and have very little control over anything that has to do with US politics outside of urging Americans to get their shit together.

Do none of you know what this is referring to? Okay, class time. Gather round, because I'm going to give you all a quick history lesson.

Oh, and you should check this out on the side. It will help with the learning.

I don't know about whether there's a connection between that slogan and the nazis, but the incident the slogan is allegedly coined from is definitely real.

The SS officer who was killed is Reinhard Heydrich, a SS officer who was high enough to be part of Hitler's inner circle. Heydrich is understood to be one of the principal architects of the Holocaust.

The village who had its male population (except for the children) wiped out as revenge for Heydrich's death is Lidice, in the modern Czech Republic.

By the way, you all should watch the movie Anthropoid. It goes over a dramatized version of the events.

And how would they react if protestors for Renee Good waved that slogan on a sign about ICE?

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 248 points 1 day ago (16 children)

Just in case anyone is not aware: This slogan is referring to collective punishment, which is a war crime. She is advocating for war crimes, shamelessly, in front of the populace.

So many people in this post complaining that its misinformation because its not actually a quote because it wasnt spoken aloud or it doesnt actually come from the nazis. However. The Trump admin DID display this information WITH the intent to threaten the lives of all dissidents and almost certainly with the belief themselves that it comes from nazis, as they wholeheartedly stand on the side of nazis. This isnt misinformation, no matter how picky you want to be, and it is VERY relevant and important to share.

[–] indomara@lemmy.world 103 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Be careful of false news that suits your narrative, it weakens our position.

That phrase has no known Nazi origin that I could find. As loath as I am to link to Reddit, there is a good write up here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1qbjtkr/is_the_phrase_one_of_ours_all_of_yours_an_old/

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm inclined to give AskHistorians a pass. There is no community on Reddit that tries as hard as they do to moderate their way around the limitations of the platform and its management.

The verified posters tend to be millennial academics with masters or PhD's in history or closely related fields, and they take the name of the community seriously. You are there to ask a historian a question, and if none answers, then so be it.

And I agree, pushing past the obvious dog whistle to go somewhere the data doesn't lead is a way to weaken what should be a self-evidently powerful argument that the Trumpers are embracing ever-more-openly fascist positions on, well, everything.
