„Never again“ is a warning to learn from the lessons of history and be aware whenever a movement based on hatred may form itself with the potential results being the abolishment of rights up to the abolishment of democracy, the installation of a dictatorship or terror regime or even genocide.
It doesn’t mean that you’re responsible for whatever happens all over the world. It’s purpose is so that the educated are aware to prevent another extremist movement from getting into power in your own country.

That wouldn't explain why fascism wasn't a dominant ideology for 70+ years in the same countries that fought during WW2, but now it suddenly is in a lot of Europe.
The main problem is the tolerance paradox.
Part of it is, but even Germany which is one of the most strict countries regarding fascism has allowed a fascist party gain a lot of ground.

The US threw off the brittish royals, but the person who got to design much of the government and economic system was Alexander Hamilton, who loved brittish nobility and hated democracy and the poors.
Hamilton dreamed of a society like the one we currently have, except he'd think the people have a bit too much power still. So really, when it comes to the US anyway, we are actually ruled by the same guys and the general idea hasn't changed since before the revolution.

We didn't call it fascism, but it definitely was around. Pogroms existed all throughout the middle ages. Territorial expansionism was the basis of all empires. Ethnic superiority theory has been there since bible times. Thought control/propaganda was the basis of the king's power since Babylonians and Egyptians started carving fake victory stories on walls.
Nothing the Nazis did is new. It was just mechanised, and ruthlessly efficient.

If they had actually meant the "never again" they would have actually prosecuted the Nazis, not just the worst offenders in Germany, France and a few other european countries but everyone who voluntarily associated or supported them (or was subscribed to their ideology), including people living in the US, Canada, South America, Africa and Australia. People like the members of the Business Plot or Prescott Bush (father to Bush Senior) should have been prosecuted alongside the German War Criminals (and way more German officials who played along and happily looked the other way with the Genocide should have also been prosecuted), if you actually wanted to punish and eradicate the ideology.
But the truth is that the US never cared much about Nazi Ideology as a negative. In fact, if not for Pearl Harbor, I think they would have been happy to let the war in Europe reach its own conclusion, maybe even ally with Hitler if he offered the right incentives, because to the US this was never an idealogical conflict. They only really attacked Germany because Japan who attacked them was allied with Germany. Yes they did previously support Britain due to their historical connections, but Britain was very close to surrender at the time the US entered the War. Had the Japanese just left the US alone, I'd wager we would have seen another outcome in Europe (and that includes the Soviet which also recieved supports from the US in the form of Equipment). Maybe not a total victory for Germany, but potentially a more tense new status quo where Germany kept their conquered territory (Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, parts of France); Vichy France existed, Italy was still facist, maybe Britain and the US electing a facist government eventually.

It’s actually looking pretty solid for social democrats.

Not an American so IDK how much my opinion is worth. And I genuinely don't want to discount any effort that people are making towards this by protests etc.
But the reality is that you guys do not represent the majority of America. The whole world laughed when he first ran for president and then you guys went and elected him. Then when he fucked you guys over and killed millions because of his amazing Covid response, y'all elected him again.
Maybe it's just my ignorance as a non-American here. But if rape, pedophilia, and other criminal activity wasn't enough to stop the majority of Americans from doing anything about him (IMO anyone that didn't vote was essentially saying they were okay with it), what's the trigger that makes enough Americans give a shit this time?
•
u/TheOtherOtherLuke 10h ago
Except they do represent a majority. The reason America seems so Conservative is because of the electoral college, which makes people from smaller states functionally have a more important vote, because each state gets 2 senators. Also a majority of Americans just don’t vote, which is like, one of if not the biggest contributor to the issue. It’s not as bad as it seems m8.
•
u/ShiftAltRight 10h ago
Except they do represent a majority.
Also a majority of Americans just don’t vote, which is like, one of if not the biggest contributor to the issue.
These two kind of seem contradictory though? Like I said if you don't vote you're essentially fine with him.
I guess I should phrase it better - the majority of Americans don't mind Trump. He won the popular vote of the people that bothered going out to vote. The others didn't vote at all which, again, just says that they were fine with a Trump presidency too.
•
u/TheOtherOtherLuke 10h ago
This also isn’t true. People obviously can’t vote after the election to show that they didn’t want Trump, but you can see in polls that his approval rating has fallen below 30% at several points throughout his current administration. The third who didn’t vote are a good portion of the 70%, and a good chunk of that is also his own voters, though I don’t have a number for you on how much of the 70% is his own voters.
•
u/ShiftAltRight 10h ago
He was at 34% when he left office after his first term. Sure, he lost the next election - but then Americans voted him right back in after Biden.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/328637/last-trump-job-approval-average-record-low.aspx
Besides, I'm pretty sure that conservatives vote similarly all over the world, i.e. they'll usually vote for their party no matter how often they get screwed by them. So his 30% approval isn't too important to his base. Maybe for undecided voters. Then again I have no idea how anyone was undecided between a rapist conman and a dark woman who laughed funny but here we are.
I hope I'm wrong about all of this and Americans actually have a line somewhere in the sand and the majority does something once that line is crossed. At the end of the day his tantrums are fucking over the rest of the world too. I just honestly can't think of what that line would be. Best wishes to you guys!
•
u/TheOtherOtherLuke 10h ago
Oh, that’s just it though. It’s been below 30%, which means even a lot of the people who voted for him can’t stand him anymore. With any luck, midterms will go well.

I'm part Italian descent. I'm amazed at the number of Italian MAGAts in the US. I've said it many times, if this was 100 years ago, we, and Asian people would be the targets. They don't like that because "we came here legally". They're so frigging stupid that they don't realize that so many of ICE's targets have to. But, more importantly, my family landed sometime in the 1870s. There really was no such thing as illegal immigration then. There were laws at the time of my famiy's landing, but they were to restrict "undesirables". It was 1888 when there was an act to limit Chinese people from coming here. We used them to build our railrorads and then there "too many" coming, so we put a stop to it.

What's happening in America makes sense if you've studied history.
Look up "the business plot". In 1933 several very rich people tried to take control of the American government.
This isn't a conspiracy theory. This is what has happened.
They have now succeeded where this previous plot failed.
They have spent years buying up all the media platforms and installing their own people in positions of power, controlling the companies that control the media.
They have bankrolled Republican politicians and control the party. Step out of line and they will have their billionaire friends who own the media support the other candidate.
They have stacked the courts with loyalists to support their agenda.
Billionaires put Trump into office to increase their wealth, and it worked on a massive scale. Musk alone made hundreds of billions.
It's unlikely America will ever recover from this, because those same billionaires who own most of the media will just switch out Trump for their next scapegoat and carry on regardless.
They don't care who is figurehead, as long as their agenda is implemented.

There are people who have gone in hiding, people who have been forcibly taken from their homes, separated from family and loved ones, and sent to inhumane camps by ICE. Nazi Germany didn't go from 1-100 in one night, either. I think it's a fair comparison to make.
Edit: I am not open to debate basic human decency and rights with people. There is a huge difference between hunting people down and having a humane immigration policy, which includes deportation with dignity. If you don't know or care for the difference, that's on you.
2nd Edit: It's cute how people think the persecution of Jewish folks started with genocide in WW2 rather than labour camps and unlawful imprisonment long before it escalated to the gas chambers. People hid well before the death camps back then, too.
Most of the people getting hunted down and arrested + detained by ICE have never harmed anyone, and ICE has been known to hold American citizens hostage for the mere "crime" of not looking "American" enough. They have no qualms arresting little kids from school and using them to get to the kids' parents. They have shot and killed people unlawfully for merely being present and lied about it. They endanger every living person in the areas they're operating in. For what? ICE is incredibly inhumane, amoral, and excessively violent. They disrupt far more peace than illegal immigrants have ever done. It's beyond disproportionate to the so-called "crimes" defenders of ICE claim that these immigration folks have committed.
That is before considering how the Trump admin and MAGA is hostile towards any other minority group, too. Guess who else was? Right, Nazi Germany. They killed millions of people with disability, too, most notably in their Am Spiegelgrund clinic where they "euthanised" handicapped children. You think that didn't start with othering them first, too? Like all those antivaxx claims causing autism and the like? 🙄
The Nazis looted and burned everything in the German Institute of Sexology, too. An institute that was way ahead of its time on research and advocated for gay rights in the 1930s. As part of the Nazi's censoring campaign because they hated different, hated LGBT+, and looooved burning books. Many common themes among hateful little asshats who deserve a good wallop over the head with some goddamn history books.

Something I did not expect to land on in my 'Game of Life' run was building Anne Frank rooms, yes, plural. I hope my neighbors sleep easier knowing they have them, but I hope they never have to be used.

Anne Frank was German, residing in the Netherlands, which was then invaded by Germany who sought to exterminate her in a death camp. This is not the same situation and I know I’ll be downvoted but, this is not the message you want to convey. You want hope and peace for the people of the world, but borders matter and so do laws. The system is slow for a reason. Ask your politicians why we are spending so much in the Middle East when South America has needed REAL help for a century. Make AMERICA great, north and south.

As a Jewish person, I find this extremely offensive. My people’s genocide is not yours to virtue signal.

As a direct descendant of jews murdered in the Shoa and a student of history, this is not at all offensive. ICE and those who support their terrorism is offensive. To ignore the direct parallels to pre war nazi Germany that evidently inspire this regime (notably Trump and Miller by their own admission) is ignorant, dangerous, and offensive to the people currently terrorized by ice. This is not virtue signaling. Never again means we don't let this shit happen again to Jews or any people. We need to stop this before it escalates further.

If you’re comparing the holocaust to ICE you’re as equally as big of a piece of shit as everything you say you are against.

The left are fucking morons, they're comparing people being burned, cremated alive, gas chambers, ungodly experiments, torture, rape and beatings, to being arrested and detained for breaking the law, I'll never understand how people think it's okay to break the law, then comparing genocide to arrest or detainment.

Let's just think for a second here, alright?
Masked guys going "Make America Great Again" by shooting and killing innocent people, and attacking bystanders if they complain about this.
I'm sure the nazis wanted to make germany great again too, and they sure as hell shot people who disagreed with them

This hits so hard because it's almost certainly actually true. It's not an exaggeration or disagreement about the meaning of terminology. Even if you don't believe this is fascism, you can't seriously deny that this is the actual lived experience for many people in the country.
