A wise decision
There’s enough material for him to study there, past and present
I wonder if he has seen through history what what the future can become with the direction of the current political administration
It could become dangerous for having a voice
As a history graduate myself, I can tell you that he has absolutely looked forward, and extrapolated where this timeline is likely to go, based not only on past historical examples, but also considering the models that the contemporary players are using, which is clearly a combination of the Nazi playbook, extreme Libertarian fantasy, Russian ambition, and oligarchic greed .
Way back in the late 80s, I started listening to Rush Limbaugh, whose radical propaganda I was able to resist because I had a good grounding in Critical Thinking. But as I heard his listeners fawn over him, and saw the conservative talk radio trend quickly spread across America following the end of the Fairness Doctine in 1987, I realized that if this level of conservative rhetoric and propaganda continued for long enough, it could literally destroy America, and then the world.
Then I watched in horror as it caught fire in the 90s with Newt Gingrich fanning the flames, then the stolen election of 2000, with the Dems just saying “Oh, well,” in response, then the rise and election of HitlerPig.
EVERY single prediction I made in my most extreme imagination in 1987 has come true so far, and if we dont do something to stop it, we will come to resemble Nazi Germany, with death camps and everything. Except this time, nobody will come to the rescue, and the entire planet will turn into an authoriarian kleptocracy, operated by Sociopathic Oligarchs.
My next prediction: MAGA can’t lose the slim majorities in both Houses, or control of investigatory committees will fall into the hands of Democrats, as well as legislative control. Protests will continue to grow around the nation, driven by citizen anger over multiple issues. By next summer the protests will be huge, and HitlerPig will encourage his RedHats to instigate violence. They heeded his call before, and he pardoned them, and made them political martyrs within their cause. They will respond again.
Now he can call the protests violent, and send in the authorities to quell the violence with more extreme violence. That will allow him to declare Martial Law and suspend the upcoming elections until peace is restored, and since he controls the peace, that will never happen. Any further demonstrations will be met with deadly violence, and any organizers will be disappeared to the 30,000 person facility currently being built in Guantanamo, outside of the view of the media or the toothless courts.
Kapo Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has said that he wants America reduced from the current 335 million people, to 100 million. Using your best historical speculation, how do you think he proposes to reach that goal?
we should be forming a human shield around these people
Their staunch refusal to help their own country is strange to me
We all have different roles to play. I’m here for the fight, but I have a few friends who are fleeing to Europe right now. I can understand both choices.
How would you like him to help?

I can understand wanting to study fascism from a distance.
distance? He’s right in it
fleeing US to work in Canada
I can read, and I do mean in Canada
He’ll soon be controlled by America anyway, eh?
They will get along fine, just a different flavor of fascism.
I am reintroducing the phrase “better dead than red” under a new context
Welcome, friend ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you.
This sounds like the debt we owe the countries that hid jews during the holocaust.
Your acts will be remembered long after the Trump name has been abandoned to the dust heap of infamy.
His name will be rembered for a long time, but it will be in the same context as people like Caligula, Nero, Bendict Arnold, Hitler, etc.
Over the next century, historians will write more books and graduate level theses about the HitlerPig phenomenon than any other modern historical figure.
He’s not the problem, that’s like blaming a wolf when you invite him into a henhouse.
The South is the real problem, they literally will give anything to have Jim Crow back, they were so enamored with racism they switched parties just for that single issue, they love racism so much it makes them hate America, at least any America that stops them from being themselves.
He used to be the symptom, but your throat closing up due to an allergy is just a symptom, until you can’t breathe, and that symptom becomess the priority issue.
HitlerPig has gone from being a symptom of a systemic problem, but he has evolved into a mortal threat all his own.
Here’s the thing: we can get an epi shot, and recover.
Then, like fucking inbred morons, we’ll scoop another heaping spoonful of peanut butter back down our gobs and go right back into anaphalactic shock.
The south is the problem, until we deal with them we will stay in this endless cycle of evil narcissistic morons like W and Trump, each getting worse and worse as we go on.
I’ve been screaming for holding the Republicans accountable since the Reagan administration, and the lack of accountability as a result of Democratic fecklessness has led us directly to the situation we are in now.
If we manage to emerge from this with some semblance of America intact, it will be absolutely imperative to hold these traitors FULLY accountable for their CRIMES, not their politics. MAGA needs to be declared a Hate/ Terrorist group, and crushed. All participants in Jan6, either planning, promotion, or action, should be prohibited from ever running for, or holding office ever again. America will need to kill and bury MAGA, the way the Germans buried Nazism.
I grew up in the midwest. For a long time I considered myself a conservative, I think I partly still do.
But I consider myself a McCain conservative, I think Bush I did an incredible job, he helped dismantle the cold war MIC, put eastern Europe back together with basically 0 blood, and the 90s were the golden age for America. Clinton did good too.
The problem is, in our success, we let the worst plagues of Pandora out of the box.
After the midwest my family moved to the south, and it was a caricature. Patriotism, Christianity, these weren’t virtues to live by, these were proof that you were superior to everyone else.
I’m brown, and even though I was born here, it was always clear I was and could never be “A Real American” like them.
But the way they treated black people was really the worst, they even joked about it to me like I’d find it funny.
They don’t understand the concept of democracy, it goes against their religion where they are the chosen people and everyone else is evil for denying that.
It’s a legacy of the confederacy, after the war we kept the slavers out of power for 10 years, then made a deal to let them back in exchange for Van Buren, and they’ve basically recreated their shadow confederacy under the name Jim Crow ever since. Hitler explicitly wrote about how they were the model Germany must follow in Mein Kampf, and the Nuremberg laws are just Jim Crow without the 1-drop rule (Germans weren’t racist enough for that).
We were able to ignore them as long as we have because they had no voice and their damage was contained in the South, but social media made them a pestilence that can be directed to any target, and they are so impossibly ignorant and proud (and proud of their ignorance) that you don’t need AI algorithms to send them to destroy democracy, they basically follow pro wrestling rules.
I got my family out and I’m glad, but the rest of the country is basically doomed, nobody is fighting them like they need to be fought, because they can’t see the evil first hand.
Chuck?
You can’t post or say anything without fear of being targeted by the Trump administration. The legal student protester got arrested, and Trump stops funding universities because of protesting students. The cabinet is full of dishonorable fascists.
Good!
Why flee when you can study it live.
Exactly, Jane Goodall didn’t run from the apes, she joined their ranks to study them.
This guy should be closer.
/s if it wasn’t clear
maybe he studies fascism in the way at CERN they study particles: once they found experimental evidence that one exists, they start looking for the next. Now given the abundant evidence that the US fascist exists and multiple collisions have been observed with everyone’s balls, he’s started searching for the more elusive Canadian Fascist
They’re unfortunately not nearly elusive enough.
Only one way to settle the debate: let’s build that Large Fascist Collider
Trying to remove the observer effect, totally understandable! Best wishes in your studies! Say, before you go, which alcohol makes for the best Molotov?
Stanley recently wrote for the Guardian about a new Department of Education directive that said teaching about systemic racism and other topics could be grounds for a civil rights violation, according to the Trump administration’s legal interpretations. Stanley said this order sets the country “on a path to educational authoritarianism”.
The fascists are still robbing their opponents of the language of dissent by turning its meaning on its head. It is now a “civil rights violation” to claim that there is racism, homophobia or transphobia in the USA. Civil rights now means protecting the supremacy of straight white men.
“WAR IS PEACE / FREEDOM IS SLAVERY / IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.”
It’s uncanny how relevant this is
