    We already have a great slogan. E pluribus unum. The idea that people from different places, backgrounds, and walks of life all come together for one cause, the betterment of all, that’s something to rally behind. The US hasn’t ever stood for that, but it’s something to strive for at least. What they’re offering has been rejected by the world time and time again and will continue to be. What they’re peddling is shameful and I’m disgusted that anyone is falling for this.

    I swear half of all government actions now are just bait to goad people into violence so they can justify a massive crackdown.

    Somebody should do a Peter Parker meme where he puts on his glasses and it says “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer,”

      Probably why he’d rather be fucking his daughter than his wife.

    Uneducated, racist, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, white supremacist, gun-toting religious fundamentalist nutjobs are not my people.

    The department shared on X, formerly Twitter, an 11-second montage of American artwork captioned: “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage.”

    The language immediately drew damning comparisons to the Nazi Germany slogan “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer,” which translates to “One People, One Realm, One Leader,”

      Why stop there? “Homeland” translates to “geheimat staat”, which is the Ge Sta part of Gestapo.

      Edit- whoops. My German is a bit scheisse. See comment below.

    weird. a user on here was just telling me a few hours ago that my use of the term “literal nazis” was wrong because those words have meanings, and those meanings can’t be used to describe this administration

    so, uh, that was a lie

    Does the same Nazi have access to all their accounts or are Nazis really that one-note?
