Yes the window dressing is very different, but the material reality is the same:

The Biden administration provided nearly unlimited weapons to a genocidal regime, while actively lying to the media to cover for the ongoing brutality, and vetoing many ceasefire resolutions.

The Trump administration provided nearly unlimited weapons to a genocidal regime, while actively lying to the media to cover for the ongoing brutality, and vetoing many ceasefire resolutions.

Where's the psyop?

"Now, people, rise up, and let the storm break loose!" - Joseph Goebbels memorializing Horst Wessel, 1932

"...And the warrior whispers back, I am the storm. Erika is the storm. We are the storm." - Steven Miller memorializing Charlie Kirk, 2025

Steven Miller looks just like Goebbels too, those dead eyes scare me.

It's as if God is doing a (history, colorized) meme on us, but the colors are just the black, white, and red of the Nazi swastika.

Terrorist scum.

I'm looking forward to the Hopecore video featuring Idan Alexander's grave and his weeping mother.

Good thing the government of North Dakota isn't functionally bankrupt

I'm not sure why you would sarcastically say this? The government of ND is flush with oil money, they have run a budget surplus for over a decade.

They also have a "Legacy Fund" filled with $12 billion dollars of oil and gas tax revenue.

This procedure is called a positive exchange of controls. Under normal circumstances it is a three step process:

Pilot 1: "You have the controls" Pilot 2: "I have the controls" Pilot 1: "You have the controls"

This process removes ambiguity, ensuring that both pilots are situationally aware.

According to the voice recording (VFR data), we can hear Brett James say "Jesus, take the wheel".

The VFR does not register a response from Jesus. Some have speculated that he was distracted, others say it may be a technical malfunction. Many others are speculating that he actually never existed.

Unfortunately Brett James does not follow positive exchange of controls procedure, he never confirms that Jesus has the controls, and this is a fatal mistake.

Michelle Obama only polls well because of name recognition, she's essentially a non-political figure.

What's her position on the genocide in Gaza? What's her take on universal healthcare? What's her plan for Ukraine? Would she fight for gun control? Etc etc...

Right now, people can imprint their personal beliefs onto Michelle. If she would run, she would have to clarify all of her political positions, and then her poll numbers would naturally drop.

And party leadership should whip DINOS into shape.

Instead, the party consistently coddles and enables them.

Where is the left fighting itself? I only see leftists fighting liberals in the comments.

That's an interesting subject, I sometimes wonder "is our fascism progressing faster than the Nazis?", but I haven't really come up with a good answer.

I'll stick with my "2 years" prediction though. I think a Reichstag fire moment is most likely when political tension is high, and political tension naturally peaks in the lead up to a presidential election.

I agree that there are many unproductive forms of hate. I'm not advocating for you to hate the person that hurt you.

But hate has been productive for me. With our world in decline, it is so easy to get depressed and nihilistic, sometimes I have no hope. Hate is a strong motivator to do something positive for the world.

"don't hate" seems like an extremely radical message. I hate lots of things, and I think it is right to hate those things.

I hate it when Nazis gain power. I hate it when children are molested. I hate injustice. Don't you?

The governor finds a way to put "transgender" in every sentence, and at the same time he deliberately uses the wrong pronouns for this person.

They're doing it on purpose, and it is disgusting.

I believe Luigi is the killer, and he should be regarded as a hero. The slaying of Brian Thompson was a honorable and heroic act.

Killing a man who did the evil and destructive work of Healthcare CEO has literally saved the lives of hundreds or maybe even thoudands of United Health customers who would have had their lifesaving care denied.

If you are lucky enough to be chosen for jury duty, please study Jury Nullification

The number of similarities between modern America and 1930s Germany is shocking.

I believe the assassination of Kirk is highly analogous to the killing of Horst Wessel. Both Wessel and Kirk were far right nationalists who were killed and subsequently hailed as martyrs by their fascist movements.

Hitler brought up Wessel in all of his early speeches. The Nazis wrote songs and bullt statues of Wessel. And today we can already hear the songs about Kirk. Congressmen are passing around a bill to erect a statue of Kirk in the Capitol.

If we continue to follow this timeline closely, we are about 2 years away from our own Reichstag fire moment.

Ezra Klein, a man who's entire career is based upon normalizing the decline of liberalism, a champion of normalizing the genocide in Gaza, is now going to lecture us all about normalizing fascism.

Seattle resident for 10 years here, I sold my car 5 years ago and I don't really miss it.

I was paying $275/month for parking alone, and the car was only worth $4k, it felt insane to pay that much.

I'm lucky to have access to decent bus service, and light rail is good and expanding.

For some awkward trips I will use Uber, and when I need to travel further then I rent a car, but the total cost of this is much less than the cost of parking a car.

Because Israel is doing a genocide, and they are doing everything they can to obfuscate that fact, including accusing some low level EU bureaucrat of terrorism.

As 40,000 genocidal invaders prepare for their latest round of slaughter and destruction, I have only one wish for them.

Death, death to the IDF.

Obama was handed a Democratic supermajority, but the dems dropped the idea of a public option right away.

The Dems couldn't hurt their real constituents: the insurance companies. Obamacare was a huge boon to the health insurance industry and their shareholders.

I remember the details quite vividly, as the medical bankruptcy that destroyed my life was started pre-ACA, but finalized post-ACA.

Historically speaking, the solution to fascism is lots and lots of dead fascists.
