As a queer person myself, I always understood that our liberation will never come in the form of rainbow capitalism. I am not surprised at all by any of this, and to be fair, I am glad these fake allies are showing their true colours.

All the second amendment freaks are suddenly awfully silent. Wasn't this the exact scenario the 2A was intended for? To fight against wannabe kings?

I don't see any of that happening. The amount of money we're talking about here is insane. There's no way you could hide that through shell companies. At that point might as well just start doing business with Russia again without any of these magic tricks.

Can't expect a US vassal state to go against their bosses interests

Stop falling for the liberal trap that laws and bureaucracy will somehow magically save you from fascism. It won't. This is just the start. They're slowly warming you all up to it until it's going to be too late. There's no such thing as "This can't happen here!". It definitely can, and it definitely will if you don't organise and stop it.

And it has a name. To quote someone famous:

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power"

Benito Mussolini, the father of fascism

Definitely. Sadly abortion was illegal for a very long time, so many people just had to give birth even if they weren't ready to raise a kid.

Then why are people celebrating Netanyahu and all US presidents still on youtube? I reckon they killed a shitton more people than Luigi ever could.

That was a practice that occurred right after the revolution when the economy was in shambles and hyperinflation was devastating the working class. Romania has progressed a lot since then, and such practices are no longer common place, but are outright illegal and extremely out of the ordinary.

There's no way in hell the US can afford such measures.

So hypothetically speaking, if my friend has an arrest warrant and he visits me, and I know he has an arrest warrant, and I decide not to call the cops, what does that make me?

I'm sorry, but I used to think exactly like you many years ago.

Most German remembrance culture is overly superficial. Many German politicians hold straight up nazi views and they're still mingling around in the Bundestag. Some of them were caught on audio saying nazi shit. Others were involved with nazi organisations as youngsters. Many of them still attend "secret" nazi meetings and they're still mingling around with other politicians, even when it gets out to the press. Many of them hold up antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic, etc. views and they're still in positions of power. Most german billionaires have built their empires on top of the Holocaust. They're still around. No one dares to touch them. There's just some superficial "public outrage" from time to time and then the wheels of history just keep chugging on. Where's the remembrance culture for the millions of victims, most jewish, many queer, and political victims of the nazi regime?

Where was the remembrance culture for so many decades for the tens of thousands of queer victims of the Holocaust? Germany barely managed to pass a same-sex marriage bill a few years ago. Hell, even the US has done it before Germany did and they didn't have any concentration camps filled with homosexuals. So where's the remembrance culture?

Where's the human dignity when the greens and the social democrats are deporting people to Afghanistan, a country ruled by the taliban? Where's the human dignity when minorities are often the ones to get the short end of the stick at every interaction with state institutions? Where's the human dignity when minorities die in police custody and nothing ever comes out of it? Or when cops are involved en masse with nazi organisations? Where's the human dignity when people go out to protest and they get massively suppressed by police, often with liberal newspapers cheering it on?

It doesn't need to get to an industrialised killing of a group of people to be able to talk about "nazi like mentality".

Germany is more than happy to revoke citizenships nowadays for saying things the German state doesn't like. This is something unseen since nazi times. This is creating first and second class German citizens. Are you a so-called "bio deutsche"? Then you're free to do nazi shit, scream your hate-speech at immigrants, you'll mostly just get a fine and that's the end of the story. Are you a german with a second citizenship? Then go against the so called Staatsräson, criticise Israel publicly, and you'll have the entire might of the German state weighing down on you, having your citizenship revoked and ending up being deported. For a thought crime.

You either stay in line, or you're out of here, unworthy of being a citizen of this state just because you hold a different opinion.

And the thing about making parties illegal. That's hilarious. The AfD is saying shit nowadays that other parties ten/twenty years ago have gotten banned for. And they're doing it openly. And growing bolder, while the german society just stands there and looks.

Where is the human dignity when Germany makes a shitton of money by selling weapons that end up being used on fucking kids in Gaza? Where was the human dignity when Germany sold Saddam Hussein all the infrastructure he needed to build chemical weapons? Where was the love for law when the German chancellor ruled out an arrest for Netanyahu even though he has an international warrant?

When you answer all of those questions, then you'll know exactly how much Germany, as a state, cares about its own constitution. And yet the german people still follow the state's line. And that's all you need to know for the future.

China will do just fine. It's us we should be more concerned about, not China. Just as they managed in every other field, I'm fairly sure they'll manage this time too.

Much of the mentality that enabled nazi Germany stayed. I'm half romanian, half german. I'm also part jewish. My ancestors died in the Holocaust. The German love for law and order scares me. They're overly obedient. Rarely walk out of line on serious matters. Mark my words, but someday the AfD will come to power, and they'll make use of all the tools the liberals implemented for them (suppressing protests, deporting people, cutting funding, and so on) and no one will bat an eye. Because a law is a law and therefore it is to be followed. Hopefully I'll manage to be far away by that time.

Then move troops there. The European NATO members already outspend Russia in terms of military investments. Russia can't even take over Ukraine, a country that's not even in NATO and hasn't even had any modern military equipment for a very long time. Hell, they're getting hand me downs from countries like Germany, equipment that's decades old, isn't state of the art, and needs repairs, and they're still keeping Russia at bay. Now there's articles about Russia depleting its own tank stocks and shit, not being able to sustain even a war with Ukraine, and we're supposed to believe that Russia will somehow attack Germany or Poland (which is to be fair probably better armed than Germany).

So there's only two options here: either the western press is lying about Russia depleting its stocks and they're actually holding back instead of fully invading Ukraine (God knows why they fought in Ukraine for three years now then instead of just releasing their full "military might" from the get go). Or, the western press is fear mongering about Russia actually being able to invade NATO so the military industrial complex can make a quick buck off of our tax money.

My two cents: there's no chance in hell Russia can invade any NATO country, they can barely function in Ukraine lmao. Just send troops to the baltic and you're gonna be fine. No need for trillions of euros in new guns.

"Civilised" Europe. International law for thee but not for me. Anyway, hope his plane catches on fire.

Russia can't even take over Ukraine, let alone half of NATO to even make it into Germany. I personally think this is just fearmongering on the side of our elected officials so the military industrial complex can make a few more bucks with money from the state.

There’s a high chance that the car is just shit… would be nice if it was an actual assassination attempt but honestly who knows.

What does it mean?

Come on guys, the US is in dire need of that money. How will they be able to throw billions at their military industrial complex if not for our donations?
