      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?

        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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      Attacking how communication is done instead of what’s being communicated is a form of subversion the CIA uses to mess with foreign actors. The left and its tolerance towards others (e. g. misgendering by accident) is very susceptible to such attacks and they’ve let themselves be decimated on the public stage because of it.

      It’s fucked up. No one is disagreeing with that. However, making shit up makes your argument weaker. The enemy will only have to point out that you’re making it up to get people to ignore you then. This post is specifically about the made up thing. If it was about the podium then there wouldn’t be an issue.

          I just saw a podcast/yt vid today that had a segment on stats for how dangerous it’s been for ICE since it was established. No ICE members have ever been killed or injured by immigrants.

          Leading cause of death is covid-19 (perhaps unsurprising, considering all the antivax idiots who must overlap heavily), followed by cancer from 9/11. One guy died from accidentally shooting himself in the leg. The only case that even involved an immigrant is when an ICE guy died after chasing someone and had a heart attack.

      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.

        Reddit as a whole is a consent manufacturing machine. These “verified” crap shoots, where every one of the “discussions” align with the confirmation bias of the people manufactured by people who want to curate the narrative doesn’t have any credibility beyond people who are gullible or benefit from these narratives.

    Congrats, Amerikkka! You finally managed to achieve socialism! The National kind of Socialism!

    EDIT: Apparently, the joke is not evident enough so I have to explain it so I’m not called a right-winger:

    There is a double reference in the comment:

    I wrote “Amerikkka” with 3 K for the KKK. (First part of the joke) to call them KKK members.

    Then I used National Socialism (notice the capitalized words) instead of just socialism or national socialism (without capitalized words) to reference the name nazis gave themselves, to calll them nazis.

    I hope this clears it up. As people are talking about “nuance” that I seem to be lacking.

                Nazis called themselves national socialists.

                The magas are now openly nazist.

                If you call the magas national socialists (and not simply socialists) you are calling them nazis.

              So you don’t actually know what socialism is. If you did, you’d be the last one saying the Nazis were using the name correctly.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

              Smh. And I quote:

              Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership. It describes the economic, political, and social theories and movements associated with the implementation of such systems. Social ownership can take various forms, including public, community, collective, cooperative, or employee. As one of the main ideologies on the political spectrum, socialism is the standard left-wing ideology in most countries. Types of socialism vary based on the role of markets and planning in resource allocation, and the structure of management in organizations.

              To misuse names as labels contradictory to substance is a hallmark of propaganda. I don’t fall for it. Just because Nazis want people to think they’re just crunchy on the outside while remaining warm and caring on the inside and pick a name they think will do that for outsiders doesn’t actually mean shit.

              Nuance is important. Learn to look past the name.

                Says the one who was unable to get a joke comment in which I’m calling them “national socialist” and not just socialists to call them nazis (since the nazis called themselves national socialists and not simply socialists).

                You talk about nuance and can’t see that I’m specifically calling them national socialists and not just socialsts.

                Ffs, have you escaped from .ml? You look ridiculous in your defense of socialism when all I did was a joke about nazism.

                Edit: You shouldn’t talk about nuance when you didn’t get the “nuance” on the first place. Notice the capitalized letters in the first comment and not just the name. Nuance is important, so by calling it National Socialism (mind the caps) and not national socialism (mind the caps again) I’m using not the general definition of the socialism but the name nazis gave to their movement (which was, as every name, capitalized). You didn’t get the joke. And that’s fine. But it’s not on me.

    The phrase “One of ours, all of yours” was displayed on a podium during a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) briefing attended by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. While images of the podium with the slogan circulated widely on social media, Kristi Noem herself did not say the phrase aloud 12.

    The slogan has been linked to Nazi Germany, specifically as a reprisal for the killing of an SS officer 45. Musician Tom Morello alleged that the “Trump admin quoted (verbatim) the slogan” 25. However, other reports indicate that Noem defended ICE agents, stating they acted in self-defense and that “criminal, illegal aliens” would be arrested while American citizens would be protected 1. Some sources suggest that the phrase has not been found in historical texts related to 20th-century history 3.
