"Let's not primary Hitler II," says the guy who doesn't want to admit he's super-psyched for Hitler II.

What if it was Hitlur and another Hitlur but the 2nd Hitlur gave you $20? worth of gold teeth?

There’s Hitler, then there’s Christian Baby Hitler.

what we need is a Hitler of the left

Imagine Twitter right after the 2016 American election turned up 50,000 notches. This guy. Sadly predicted Bsky would go this direction when these narcissistic cunts started arriving here en masse.

Dean appears to have a lot of time on his hands for some very, uhhh, unique thoughts.

I’d like to say they’re unique because no one else is dumb enough to have them, but pretty sure that horse is wayyyy out of the barn.

Or, hear me out here...maybe we could treat ourselves and not nominate a copy of Hitler. Maybe we could, I dunno, nominate a copy of FDR or MLK. Even if we can't find that surely we can do better tha a copy of Hitler. Have the Dems been beaten so thoroughly they think a non-facist is not an option?

and, this is important, the election is THREE FUCKING YEARS AWAY

There's simply no third option, ever, in the history or ever, not a single government was overthrown by people for being a fascist shithole, NEVER.

you have to kill both hitlers. YOU HAVE TO KILL BOTH HITLERS

Why are they treating it like it's the Trolley problem?

Libs assume all problems in life are fundamentally some form of Trolley Problem. I blame Capitalism.

villain brand trolley lever co. has one hell of a marketing team

What are you leftists doing then??? The problem is not that you have bad intentions, it's that you don't have the will to do something meaningful. If only your ambitions were as high as your self-righteousness.

"you leftists" 🤔🤔🤔

this guy is correct, but only inside his myopic and contrived scenario i mean yes 99% hitler is obviously better than 100% hitler, that's just math which is precisely what makes the point kind of vacuous

people are rightly rejecting the premise of his hypothetical, but pretending he did not pose it is an unfair reading he said he would vote for 99% hitler *conditional on the only other alternative being voting for 100% hitler* contrived dichotomy, but it is there

This thought experiment has always been pointless because it assumes the only action that matters is on Election Day, when there is a whole spectrum of decisions one can make up until Election Day.

Or you know, we could give our early support to the candidates who are not Nazis.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEE, I'VE MADE MY MISTAAAKES GOT NOWHERE TO RUN, THE NIGHT GOES ON AS I'M FADING AWAY. I'M SICK OF THIS LIFE I JUST WANNA SCREAAAAM HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEE?

“Fighting fascism” This guy is, at best, a bug splattered on fascism’s windshield as it barrels down the highway at 85 MPH

“Uh ok but would you prefer if fascism DIDN’T have to clean its windshield when it stops to get gas?”

damn poor guy

i just looked and oh god he's still going

He's *still* still going, another hour later. This is beautiful. Like a fireworks factory burning down.

Son, if you are doing the Two Hitler’s Statement, you don’t deserve the steam off my piss.

I disagree, I would in fact say he deserves nothing else

It’s an English saying. Implying that the steam would at least keep you warm.

I am wide-eyed in enlightenment. I can see how that nation produced Shakespeare.

My favourite, and one I hadn’t heard until my brother started going out with a northerner, is, “You can’t fatten a pig on the day of the fair.” I was laughing my arse off, while trying to admit the point.

"Hey Mom, I was the muse for something that's showing in The Louvre!" "In Paris?" "No. The REAL Louvre!"

the Louvre of Bluesky finally getting the recognition it deserves

YES THERE WERE TIMES I'M SURE YOU KNEW WHEN I BIT OFF MORE THAN I COULD CHEW BUT THROUGH IT ALL WHEN THERE WAS DOUBT

Wait is he killing himself

Who knew that saying you’d proudly vote for 99% Hitler would result in the internet calling you a tool?

Forgot he wasnt on Truth Social I guess. I mean if he really is suicidal he should get help. But that reads more like a crappy ex trying to manipulate you into coming back to them tbh.

I love how this is only slightly less nonsensical than “would you kill a tiny clone of Hitler”

I'm convinced that plurality voting gives people political Stockholm Syndrome.

So when do these people finally look at he fact that all they're voting for anymore are slightly less evil Hitlers and realize that this isn't pragmatism?

That ratio is insane tho

So, doing nothing for the millions of Jews both Hitlers want to wipe out? Yeah, I think I’ll pass, and not just because they’d probably come after me.

Pretty wild seeing this right after listening to the @ologies.bsky.social about the trolley problem

Oh, they're completely brain poisoned or a robot, aren't they?

Just your average Liberal.

I am BEGGING the libs to stop putting us in a position where we have to choose between 99% and 100% Hitler

Especially so prematurely!

Don't worry, next time the choices will be 100% and 105% Hitler.

And you better believe they'll say you deserve everything that happens to you if 100% Hitler loses (or if he wins).

Geeze people really thirsty foe gavin huh

I think it's a very bad sign politically when people start calling their own guy a Hitler.

Its always funny seeing these people come up with all of this bullshit to excuse voting for Hitler instead of just shooting Hitler

"If I was in 1932 Germany I would simply vote for Paul von Hindenburg to stop the rise of Hitler" is just such a funny thing for liberals to say, given that in fact, Hindenburg won the election! And Then You Got Hitler!

We should kill both of them.

This isn't even accurate. The "choice" isn't Hitler vs. pro-Romani Hitler. The "choice" is "Full Hitler" vs. "Only Hitler Towards Romani" (Newsom is Hitler towards more than one group, but, for the sake of argument) and HIS choice is that he IS willing to let the Romani die to protect himself.

Fucking wild the more accurate version of this post would have made LESS people angry. We are not seeing our top minds at work on this man’s account

And then shaming the Romani for not voting for the candidate who would still delete them. "Please throw yourself to the wolves for my sake, please."

And is complaining that Romani, and Romani allies, won't vote for either

Do these people realize Hitler was a real human being whose beliefs were in no way unique to him and who was enabled and empowered by other people who believed what he did? When it comes to Hitlers you have to attack everyone supporting him, not just one guy

Unironically yeah, lots of dullards genuinely believe Hitler was the sole cause of everything bad in early-mid-20th-century Europe and without him personally and specifically everything would have been fine (early versions of this belief include words like "hypnotised")

These are they same people who think Trump is the entire cause of The Horrors and getting rid of him will fix it all.

Hitler without the full force and power of the German state would just be a failed artist mumbling about Jews as he paints famous buildings for tourists. Voting for his slightly "better" twin is not actually an improvement

This is such a cowardly argument. How weak do you have to be to not even be able to PRETEND to be a badass on the Internet

This has all the vibes of a post that OP recognized halfway through was a bad idea and they should’ve bailed but for some reason we’re all reading it.

A fool posts through it no matter what. A true poster knows when to post through it and when to leave it in the drafts.

Electorialism is just as bad, if not worse, than religious dogmatism. Damn straight I'll die on that hill.

Technically, there IS a correct answer: "I refuse to answer loaded questions. I refuse to answer loaded questions. I REFUSE TO ANSWER LOADED QUESTIONS."

Yup no need to ever accept the premise of a question

wut

Is there a another candidate, maybe a baby hitler?

How dare you fail the hypothetical ethics test I just made up in my head

Okay this begs the real question though, what if you had a pocket sized clone of hitler

It is 2025 this is the *most* not the time when these arguments are necessary. It’s not a midterm year. It’s 3 years away from a presidential. 2 years away from even a presidential primary. Why are people psyching themselves up for possibly unnecessary grim utilitarian calculus in advance?

It’s not actually Sophie’s choice if you’re just sitting in your living room with your kids neither of whom are currently being threatened with death and you’re like “just so you know I would kill you if I had to” what the fuck. A lot of potentially avoidable steps seem to have been skipped here!

How about no Hitlers? Can we do that?

"Fucking leftists and your goddamn purity tests. Trump won 3 more elections just because you said that" - Estimated Liberal Response

Replace "vote for" with stab.

Sure, there's gonna be a LOT of atrocities, but I'll still be able to find a competent fortune teller. So, really, isn't that a win?

Don't you love how our winner-take-all approach to politics has been so ingrained in our system that this is considered a reasonable take in some circles?

You should add some of his newer posts. He can't figure out why people think he's a nazi supporter.

Me, convincing you to vote for my guy: Alright he's a lot like Hitler but slightly less bad

Grandma...?

*guy who landed himself on a blocklist with tens of thousands of subscribers and caught thousands of manual blocks in the course of 24 hours voice*: "i am banishing you to the shadow realm when i don't read your replies!"

Wow, dreams as large as the sky there. "Imagine a world where we could instead experience very very slightly better Hitler!"

They never choose the secret (it’s not a secret) third option. There’s also all the other options that come after the 3rd. 😭

bsky.app/profile/moxi...

Fortunately, those aren’t the only choices.

Centrists

Liberals will literally say "I would vote for Hitler" proudly, entirely unprompted, zero irony

Mussolini/Franco 2028!!

Dean Solecki is still posting through it, in spite of efforts to get him to log off, take a shower, spend time with his dog, and go outside

he can't, there's not enough hitler out there

We must imagine Sisyphus happy with 99% Hitler.

I went back and tracked down the thread where Dean's post came from. all of this was in response to that clip from that recent podcast that Newsom did where he made the argument that no one under the age of 25 should transition??? was he trying to liken Newsom to a "pro-Romani copy Hitler" clone???

oh actually he's on a blocklist I subscribe to now

I'm blocked lmk how it's going lol

4 hrs later. He's still posting through it. I'm sure things will turn around for him and people will be like "Yeah, we should vote Hitler," any second now lol.

What if you could choose between regular Hitler and Hitler that hates even more people. What, you would discriminate only some and not all by saving somebody? You are clearly the worst people on earth

Hitler Lite™️

Newsom should show off his new picture of Trump & the Devil from SouthPark!

the way my eyes opened after reading that

American Democracy is choosing between 2 evil choices that are 99% the same, and it's what makes us Great

ik theres no real point in arguing the point, but whatever; a pro-romani hitler couldn't exist bc his ideology would necessitate the conclusion of hating them firstly, secondly he would bend the knee to any of his allies who wanted to kill romani people for the sake of achieving his other evil goals

We going to win! We’re going to WIN that race to the bottom

Imagine being the one like

The solution is to kill or die trying whomever put you up to this. Christ.

Zero sum, baby! Only "most" people suffer. That means I'm a good person!

Inside of you are two Hitlers

Yeah and i really wish they would start paying rent

Explains a lot.

MostlyHitler/Buttigieg 2028 LFG

*yoink*

This is an absolutely fucking wild take.

This guy kinda half endorsing the Holocaust is insane

Only if it would save other people from dying, though! (/s)

You guys have 3 years to find a not hitler to run. Maybe that should be the focus as opposed to the slightly less hitlery hitler.

for liberals, politics is just voting every few years and doing nothing else

what if "good hitler" isn't actually against genocide? what then?

“Clearly you, the person who would not vote for 99% Hitler, are the bad guy here”

"Don't blame me, I voted for Xerox Hitler"

They experience reality as an endless series of one-time trolley problems, because their brains have been boiled by algorithms into mere reaction machines.

Ah yes. Them.

"what do you mean, "you people?" but for opinion columnists

Obviously all of us to varying degrees!

Yeah, centrist lanyards. Them.

It certainly describes certain groups' political behavior more than others. I think the "centrist lanyards" (or whatever we might call them) may even view endless reaction as a *positive* way to experience the world when it's rebranded as "pragmatism" or "realism".

Right but “realism” as a descriptor is less preferable due to being completely inaccurate

Ditto pragmatism. You want pragmatism? You’re looking for Lenin.

By the time that's the choice, there is no legitimacy to this system, and tearing it down is an existential imperative.

One day I hope we can have a political imagination capable of envisioning candidates who contain only homeopathic quantities of Hitler.

It's really weird how much liberals love comparing themselves to hitler

he also said he disagrees with letter form Birmingham jail

Of course he does, he's the kind of person MLK Jr is talking about in it.

"I need every ally for my group I can get, im a narcissist who doesn't acknowledge anyone too different from myself.

The trolley problem - but there’s just a single railway track, and pulling the lever just turns the ice cream truck tune on.

Brings to mind this:

He’s a piece of shit that can fuck off

Liberal (unprompted): "Yes, I would vote for 99% Hitler. The Holocaust is not a deal breaker for me."

"The other guy will cause three Holocausts, so it's actually really fucking selfish of you to consider one Holocaust a dealbreaker" said the Liberal to one of the people who would be targeted by the holocaust they'd decided to make bipartisan for some reason.

Also just gleefully rallying behind Hitler Lite as the best possible option because he’s the first guy you see on TV. Addicted to making tough compromises on other people’s behalf.

The same liberal: In fact, if 99% Hitler loses, I will celebrate when other races suffer and blame it on math. That is what I should do, yes.

I’ve never been able to take this demographic wonkery (wankery?) seriously after I learned both candidates lost to a blank ballot

The only race to mostly vote Trump was white people. The libs really out themselves when they start blaming anyone else by race.

And it's weird how it's normalized. I've seen a bunch of libs go full Klansman on HIspanics over this.

Once again I wish people would stop conflating “people belonging to a demographic who voted” with “everyone in that demographic”

It is genuinely wild that she got well under half of the white vote and somehow that's Black and Latino people's fault despite them voting in much larger proportions for Harris. Like what is wrong in someone's head that they think that's logical? 🥴

Also... the electoral college is an important factor, you can't look at total nationwide voting patterns by ethnicity. And the size differential is wild: For 2024: White voters: ~114,100,692 Black voters: ~17,193,255 Hispanic voters: ~15,630,232 Asian or other: ~9,378,139

Yes! It's very "well white people were never gonna vote for her so it was up to the POC to make up the shortfall" when the electorate is just overwhelmingly white. I'm like... nah that seems like white people's fault still actually? 🤷🏻 maybe yell at the hundreds of millions of white people? 🥴

Harris did not need to win with the exact same demos as Biden did. And also, exact percentages don’t even matter when turnout was way less! She got higher percentages but lower numbers in those demos. Fucking stupid

Yeah, it's a very nonsensical way to look at voting. I don't know why they do it other than as an excuse to be racist.

There’s this idea with the David Shor types that elections are like moneyball. You just tweak the math a certain way and suddenly you’ll win. Incredibly, David Shor was a consultant on the Harris campaign and they still lost! My Marquis, do you think it is all just a bunch of bs?

I love that he's a self-described socialist, yet he jacked Kamala off while thinking Gen Z is conservative.

Calls himself a socialist while never espousing a single socialist policy! He’s like the guys who on bumble goes as they/thems so they can message first.

okay but like you really want orange hitler to win kiddo? 99% hitler has shown he can change

Maybe Hitler was a good guy and it was the bad 1% that made him do all that stuff.

Well, well that about wraps it up for liberalism. Mind you I would qualify as a liberal, but I do draw the line at voting for 99% Hitler. They’ve gotta be no more than 95% Hitler, can we at least agree on that?

99 copies of hitler on the wall, 99 copies of hitler

how about you just blank both of them 😶

That is some kinda mental gymnastics right there. 0/10.

i think these guys think if they don't vote they will actually die

so... specific...

The solution: Two bullets. It's called having the self respect to not vote for Hitler.

Watch the Jamelle Bouie defenders be like "this honorable young man was ran off by FAR LEFT WOKE EXTREMISTS!!!"

Centrists really just want to do a fascism, huh?

But Dean assures us he’s the REAL victim here. 👍🏽

I think we should fight fascism by slowly decreasing the percentage of hitler we unequivocally support. In just a few dozen elections we can get down to maybe 30% hitler

It will take a lot of effort, but if we negotiate in good faith I think we can get him to agree to only kill every second jew.

Careful, he’ll think you’re not joking.

Yes, we must fight Hitler by being Hitler. That just makes so much sense. 🤷🏽

Oh sure you leftists demanding "not Hitler" are always letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. 99% Hitler may not be the perfect candidate you people want, comma,

“Vote lesser Hitler!” 🤔

Pretty sure that 99% Hitler - who he's voting for! - is a full on facist. I blocked and moved on, but is it certain this wasn't a troll/parody account? Nobody is this stupid?

🤷🏽

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Dean!

Unless there’s a way it can hit him that would knock some fucking sense into him

“only fascism can defeat fascism! Fascism is the only way” -Dean the Collaborator

Him threatening to leave isn't going to get the reaction he wants, quite the opposite.

Maybe he needs help packing?

Looks like he already left

In all seriousness, I hope he takes some time to reflect. Not only did he argue for “lesser Hitler”, he used a list of “guess you want…” gaslighting.

A lot of Newsom fans engage in that, and I just want to know who taught them that gaslighting people would win them over.

If they don't notice the gaslighting, it actually works. If they *do*, then you've lost the 'target' and anyone else they can convince about you. This is why certain people do it, because they are running that calculus in their head and going "it's worth the risk".

I can see that - I had one yesterday who, after only a couple of posts, only responded with "sh*t debate skills" and yes, with shit censored just like that.

I censor words now and then, usually when I am not sure the thread I'm responding to started with someone who doesn't swear a lot. (There are some threads I will absolutely uncensor for, because the owner swears more than me IRL. This is a certified XBox achievement.)

I think we know the answer but acknowledging it is going to open a lot of internecine fighting that won’t be productive.

They were gaslit into thinking so

In all seriousness, I don’t expect him to reflect all because why would he?

Yeah, I get the feeling he'll come back after the heat has gone down and just carry on as before.

Yup

I stand corrected - he's back for more and digging down instead of up 🤦‍♀️

Expected.

Hope springs eternal.

I’ll hold my nose and vote for 99% Hitler, but if the 0% Hitler stans start yelling at me I’m fuckin outta here

Fighting fascism by fellating it isn't the plan I would come up with, but I suppose they go with what they know. As time goes on, Dems come out further and further from their fascist, racist closet. All these losers wanting to play victim without ever experiencing victimization is peak whiteness.

all of you are too cowardly to hike up your pants and vote for Hitler

Then maybe he should because he doesn’t fucking belong here

I really like when people attempt to morally shame me by saying they would happily vote for Hitler.

"enjoy the camps" from someone who can't wait to send me there to teach me a lesson bc I wouldn't vote for 99% Hitler

Almost like people who support 99% Hitler are 99% Nazis.

i think the difference here is that he's looking at voting like a consequentialist action intended to bring about a less bad outcome (thus saving the romani) rather than an expression of moral support him not considering third options though is quite dumb, politically and rethorically

I keep running into people like that on this site, and they actively resist considering third options. Its always "show be somebody who is better" and then deliberately ignoring the answers. He is also extremely against telling Dems to pick a better candidate. No input allowed, only vote blue!

I understand that, it's just a really awful way to convince anyone to vote while revealing his own severe lapses in morality. Asking people to pick between two Hitlers is never gonna be a winning argument.

yea this guy rolled a 0 on persuasion

I'm pretty sure that if Trump wasn't blatantly the dumbest, trashiest person to ever hold the title of president, half of these types would be at least passively in favor of him.

I always find it fascinating seeing these guys talk about how much they hate Trump, and then an hour later, they rant on how Latinos are evil or why immigrants are bad, and you wonder why these people aren't Republicans if they pretty much agree with everything Trump says.

It's all aesthetics. Trump is tacky, gross, genuinely stupid, and makes America (and by extension themselves) look bad. Were a president to carry out his same human rights violations, but do so intelligently and with the appearance of professionalism, they wouldn't care, and maybe even support him.

this guy is totally working on the hypothetical where he simply must say the N word to keep a baby from getting cancer

The guy who goes "Would you rape 1 baby if it magically cured the cancer of 100 other babies?" and then acts like he did nothing wrong when people tell him that's a stupid scenario.

Yesterday I had someone gleefully tell me they'd vote for Elon Musk over reanimated Hitler and I was being unreasonable by not choosing musk

The Gavin Newsome brigade is really trying to justify their choices.

said this before but with YEARS before any primary or election it's insane to already be conceding that you are aware that the Dem party's inclination will be to pick a 99% Hitler and are already pre-defending their pre-disappointment

More "support Hitler" rationalization, huh. Fantastic.

"If you had a time machine, would you use it to kill Baby Pro-Romani Copy Hitler ?" … is a sentence I truly and honestly *never* thought would come out of me.

He's still going. Just skeet thought it, man. It's going great for you.

"You're Romani, don't come to school tomorrow."

This gif has become my go-to for so much on here lately

Maybe the most Bluesky post ever?

It’s crazy to me how “you would vote for 99% Hitler” went form a satire of the centrist position to something that some of them now embrace

Satire has taken multiple Ls in the past few decades, from things like this to "Do not construct the Torment Nexus", to villains being embraced by certain people as desirable idols.

Late stage capitalism keeps getting cooler and cooler.

I mean… it’s still more productive than a vote for Jill Stein.

What if there were a third option I could vote for- (gets launched into the sun)

I see that the decision to mute Dean was a wise one.

When the argument is about someone being strictly better but the other person is weird:

The cowardice of the US voter has doomed our species to extinction.

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas To West Omelas

These people freak the fuck out when they hear you say you'd never vote for Newsom and it's so beautiful.

Why would this even be a choice

Didn't we have this already? Vote for Hitler (DJT) who is openly a N*z* or vote for Harris who seemed willing to allow genocide? It's clear, the majority (with palantir and (f)Elon aid) favored Hitler.

And f*ck Drumpf and all he represents. All of it. All of them. #foxtrotdeltatango

Personally I think the country with more guns than people would have a pretty obvious solution to a "2 Hitlers" situation, but I guess that's not ok to imply.

Hitler, famous election winner. He won an election, right?

It's wild that we've got guys defending 99% Hitler before primary campaigns have even started.
