Watched this yesterday and “Charles Entertainment Kirk” fucking murdered me
I don’t call them Nazis because I dislike them, I dislike them because they’re Nazis.
No they are fascists, Nazi was the shorthand for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), the first 4 letters.
Fascism gets its name from Italy, Mussolini’s Fascist Party, but it is the name for the political ideology as a whole, there is no Nazism and Americans being called Nazis is kinda weird, imagine if the scenario was flipped and you called german fascists MAGAs.
Thanks for coming to my stickler talk.
I don’t live in America, and many people here actually do use MAGA or Trumpism to describe the local right wing people and parties because they are largely just copying America…
imagine if the scenario was flipped and you called german fascists MAGAs.
It’s semantics. The German and American fascists all pull from the same ideological and rhetorical playbook.
Veneration of the national security state. Zealous religious orthodoxy. Obsession with loyalty oaths and ethnicity sorting. Reflexive xenophobia. Institutionalized quackery.
It’s all the same shit. Same as Apartheid Africa. Same as Kuomanting China. Same as Pinochet’s Chile and Milei’s Argentina.
If the situation were flipped, and Hitler was rising to power ~80 years after we had a massive war to take out MAGA fascists, then yeah I think people would refer to them as “MAGA”, at least at first.
Nazi
meansrefers to National Socialist, but at this point in history, it can also just refer to political movements that are fascist and Nazi-like. The meanings of words shift over time.Edit: Fixed to appease a pedant.
Nazi doesn’t mean national socialist, as I said it’s literally just the first 4 letters, a shorthand a nickname, American version for Republicans would be Repu/Repus.
Lots of people I have seen that think it’s Nazi because the Sozialistische has the Zi, it’s nonsense, Nazional is how germans pronounce National, hence it’s shortened to Nazi.
How about nationalist?
I call them Repubs at this point because they don’t want to say things like “Democratic politicians” opting instead for “Democrat politicians” because they’re worried democratic sounds too good.
I think republican sounds too good. They don’t want a republic, they want a tyrant.
Nazi doesn’t mean national socialist
Ridiculously pedantic. Come on.
I mean, so was my first comment, not sure what you expected 😃
I wish harm on them 🤷♂️
I also wish harm on them.
Words don’t matter here. All that matters now, is action.
Sabotage them any way you can!
Oh! This is the guy who talked about what a shithead Fetterman was even before the stroke! I could never find it again but I remember his face.
Some More News is really good.
Yeah, some more news is one of my favourites. I tend to listen to it like a podcast when i am driving to and from work. But the visuals help sometimes.
Its a great showdy.
They release both Some More News, and their related show Even More News as podcasts as well, for those who prefer that format.
Their 3 hours takedown of Jordan Peterson is epic.
The Rogan one was pretty good too.
The channel‘s called Some More News
Lol nice username
Never listen to fascists calling others communists, for them communism means any opposition to their fascism.
Love the Cody Showdy
“It is the correct word for donald trump and the people around him”
Just watched this a bit ago. Very good video.
Cody seems so dispirited for months. Not that I blame him at all.
We’ve all been dispirited for months bud. Anyone who acts otherwise is either ignorant or hiding it.
You ever heard the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
I kinda think that’s what’s happening here. Leftists and Liberals have been calling Republicans (and especially Trump) fascist since AT LEAST the 2016 election campaign, and they’ve been doing it consistently ever since. People just got tired of hearing it, I guess. Especially since he really didn’t do that much fascist stuff during his first term, and even ended up handing over the office (mostly) peacefully, which isn’t exactly something that actual fascists are known for.
I’m sorry to say this, but the term simply has been overused to the point of meaningless in the past decade. Perhaps it’s time to face reality and come up with a new plan, because this clearly isn’t working.
The boy who cried wolf is a story where someone repeatedly makes incorrect warnings that the community acts on until they stop believing him. This is like the exact opposite. The left has repeatedly and accurately warned that a specific political movement is fascist and been ignored the entire time. The term was not “overused to the point of meaninglessness” people just dismissed the warning without thinking cause they didn’t understand the word and couldn’t be fucked to learn or listen
Which version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf did you have growing up? The one where Peter cries wolf and there’s a wolf but it’s in the woods so the townsfolk do nothing, then the townsfolk call Peter a wolf, and then when the wolf arrives in the village and starts taking people and Peter cries wolf the townsfolk say the word “wolf” is so overused it doesn’t mean anything anymore?
Because I don’t remember that version.
Lots of people simply don’t know what fascism even is, I would encourage watching this excellent video on it
Or you can go through this checklist and ask yourself how many fits onto the US, it’s at least 10
This one from the national archives is a great one.

We called fascists “fascists” 10 years ago because they were fascists then, and they’re still fascists now. It’s not difficult to understand.
Stop sanewashing his first term. He tried to do all kinds of fascist stuff during his first term, but the checks and balances were still intact and stopped the worst of it. Being a powerless fascist doesn’t mean you’re not a fascist.
While that is the narrative Fox and friends would like you to believe, never forget WHY we called him fascist.
Many fascist regimes take decades to creep into full effect. The warning signs 10 years ago were apparent. Sorry you can’t understand that, but it’s why we’re closer to full blown fascism than ever.
The only reason he didn’t go full fascist the first time is because he had somewhat competent people who wouldn’t let him. Read books from his former cabinet if you actually care. He ordered his people to shoot protestors in the legs. The order was refused because he had an actual American working for him.
He had an entire false set of votes ready to be confirmed in 2020, his VP refused. His mob attempted an armed insurrection. He pardoned them all. But that’s different from fascism for some reason? Fuck that, words mean things and I’ll be damned if I let the dumbest group of people that America has ever puked out tell me what it means. The “peaceful” (are you for real?) transfer of power happened AGAINST his orders and wishes, not because he was such a nice and non-fascist politician. I don’t think you’re stupid, stop with the bad-faith “acksuallyy” nonsense. Be an adult.
Do you actually think like that, or do you just like the guy so you cherrypick “facts” to fit your narrative. Enjoy it broski, they’ll come for you. They always do. I’m willing to bet you’ve already thought twice about saying certain things in public. In America. They hate you as much as they hate immigrants. Hope you wake up in time, if for no other reason then for your own sense of dignity.
Now this is just me, but I have never said “You guys have called me gay like 45 times so maybe I’ll just go blow dudes since the word is losing meaning!”.
Fascists are gonna do fascist shit no matter what we say, but they NEVER get to steal words. Fascism has a definition. Please, look it up, study it, and come back here talking about how using the term fascism is an overreaction. Please. I would love to have that talk. We can go point by point.
You must have a safe and comfortable life, with friends who have never been threatened by this system. Enjoy that, but allow the creeping realization that it is temporary gnaw at your mind. Listen to that voice. You’re not special. You’ll get to see the inside of a black-site soon enough. They’ll find a reason, some shit you said in 2015, doesn’t matter. They’ll just do it. You think this is a joke? You think America could just never?
We have a fascist government currently which is increasing in its scope daily. Talk shit about Israel, talk shit about that piece of shit that got got in Utah, see how unfascist we are currently. Only until you inconvenience the system, then you’re fucked. Maybe you like living in perfect line with arbitrary rules. Maybe you should go work for them. Congrats on not having loved-ones in direct danger from it. Say it with your chest if you disagree, none of that mealy-mouthed semantics BS. Or support it with your chest. But enough of this “You can’t call everyone fascists durrrrrr” bullshit. Ya, we fucking can when they behave as fascists. Mussolini was voted in. Hitler was elected. Know how many people talked about “overreacting” and using words which are too severe. Enough to get them elected. You. Are. Not. Special. And neither is your country. Act like a grown-up and stand on what you believe. Either put on the gray hugo boss suit or actually work to affect change with the rest of us. Your choice, but it’s one you’ll have to live with forever.
Handed over the office peacefully lol. He claimed it was rigged and cheered on the people trying to overthrow the government. He might not have been a successful fascist but he was certainly trying.
What kind of argument is this? They werent fascists because they didnt do a hostile takeover of the government back then? Looks like all my relatives and friends cant be christians because they dont read the bible out loud right in front of me.
