Instead, we said “hold my beer” & flew in literal Nazis from Germany after WWll.

history tried to hide the fact many repubs were actually supporting nazi Germany, some working with hitler to overtake the US govt, Rachel Maddow’s book & podcasts would shock ppl, how involved a certain Father Coughlin was(ala fox), how those same repubs protected war criminals & aligned w/McCarthy

Countless Nazis got a slap on the wrist if that

We hired them to build bombs lol

None of these chuds have actual marketable skills though it’s grifting all the way down.

Sherman didn’t burn nearly far enough, nearly long enough to immolate the rotten South

God, and we've been paying for it ever since!

Germany found the correct balance: don't collectively punish on one hand (many nazi's went back to work administering the state) on the basis of full ban on symbolism.

Eh. Given the last German election, denazification may not be that durable.

YESSSSSSSS

to be fair the people who ran the POW camps were in fact hung but that was it I believe.

Lincoln had plans for that, and then he went to a play one evening.

Came here to say this. We can take it all the way back. Even in the Revolutionary War we had loyalists who got to keep running around doing their thing.

Joseph Wheeler, a confederate Major General, went on to serve in Congress!

Bewilders me how Americans are ok with and defend status of traitors responsible for the largest conflict on us soil.

The Daughters of the Confederacy should have been put down like wild dogs.

For all the shaming women have been subjected to in history, I think it would’ve been the right call here

Not only that, we used the 1876 election to give the racists what they wanted

Love this spirit, it's just not very healing, ya know? We know who wins any fight: intelligence. Let's avoid that inefficient mess. Rather, I suggest we give any lacking humanity free time to study up: #provetheirwork.⚓️ Poverty is rather humbling last I checked. #firstprinciples #elegantviolence

There has never been any healing and it’s because people have not been held accountable. We have spent 200 years putting the “past behind us” and “looking forward”…It lead us to fascism.

To suggest absolute absence of healing ignores 20th civil rights progress, the very same these 21st century bigots are attacking in real time. We have a wanna be facist regime beginning to encounter an annoyed populace. Stay frosty. We've only just begun, my friend. #coachlove #writetometal

No. You don’t love vibes cancer away, you cut it out.

You wanna opt for bone saw sans anesthetic or are you okay using modern arthroscopic methods? You suggest blood leeching via lobotomy to cure the common cold, relatively speaking. Simply be kind. Proportional self defense is always authorized. This is why we train, right?

Ron, I am really glad you’re in such a good place you can afford to be so delusional. As for the rest of us, we know: We’re in this place because of white guys playing nice and enabling this poison.

You don't know anything about me, yet you see me as delusional. Copy. I might be 😅 www.linkedin.com/in/ronchelms... There's my resume. How can I help you achieve my level of delusion, friend? Better yet, maybe help me ascend from mine to yours? We're better together, recursively 🤝 With you, Ron

Ron, soldiers and sailors aren't protecting. They're enforcing empire. Educate yourself.

This one isn't. I'm not alone. Neither are you. :) Agree on educating myself! Always trying to learn, and never at the expense or exploitation of others. If they aren't protecting, they aren't soldiers and sailors: they are oppressors.

Hey @popezebbidiexii.bsky.social! I'm curious, have you served in any armed forces? Studied entropy, perhaps? Couldn't help but notice you stopped engaging once I kindly reframed your combative opinion. Today's lessons: recursive empathy principle, a poem, & cardio. With you, Ron in & from LA 🤝⚓️🇺🇸

I've been saying for years that we didn't hang enough graycoats.

Another huge misstep was Ford pardoning Nixon and Agnew being able to plea-bargain his way out of prison. Those things as well as a vigorous investigation of Iran-Contra would have set the tradition that we can and will send corrupt presidents to prison.

I feel like we're watching South Korea get this part right in real time.

We didn't just not punish them. Fucking U. S. Grant let them keep there guns!

This is the one. Everything that the GOP has become can be traced to Nixon and Goldwater deciding to court a bunch of hateful white losers still sore from getting their asses beat but who otherwise faced zero consequences for their bloody fucking insurrection.

And let’s not forget the Paperclip Nazis, Nixon, Kissinger, and Reagan. We have a long and storied history of people in power leading very comfortable lives while avoiding consequences.

THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. Not only did the confederacy go unpunished, slave owners received reparations for their losses!

Not true! We made their elected officials (who had just months prior been part of a foreign government) set outside in the halls. /snark, all the snark.

Genuine q for each of you: who do you mean when you say “we” here?

The country. Germany had it right.

1860 the conservative south lost the election and attacked the progressive north. North went down and fucked them up but felt bad afterward so they let most of the traitors go

The reason I ask (as someone from the outside) is that it doesn’t seem clear to me that “you” and “the leaders of the Democratic Party” belong do the same group with the same interests. Perhaps thinking you do is part of the problem

Ohh your just ignorant i see that now. Sorry. You got a bit of reading to do kiddo

What? Lmao

And we invited a lot of Nazi rocket scientists with open arms...

We need to do what Germany did after WWII and do a big detrumpification. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazif...
