In the spirit of the day, does anyone happen to have that long story about a guy using public services all day then going home to post about how bad it is and how it can't do anything right? Seems like something that should be here. Apologies if this is a better question for another thread.

As seen on my Facebook feed today via the page Conservative Post, because a woman I hung out with just this morning "liked" it.

Post that image on your Facebook, but with Hitler's quote replaced with "I wipe after I poop", change Hilary's to something similar, and proudly announce you'll never wipe again.

Last time I saw it was shortly after Nimoy died, so I switched Hitler for Spock with that 'needs of the many' quote.

"Hitler said it, therefore it must be bad" is just terrible logic even by right-wingers' standards. This is of course assuming that Hitler did actually say it, because at least half the quotes I see on macros like this are just made up to get the point across.

Seems like something that should be here. Apologies if this is a better question for another thread. This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US department of agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the food and drug administration. At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, I get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issed by the federal reserve bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service and drop the kids off at the public school. After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the department of labor and the occupational safety and health administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it’s valuables thanks to the local police department. I then log on to the internet which was developed by the defense advanced research projects administration and post on freerepublic.com and fox news forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.

Julio Cruz posted:"Hitler said it, therefore it must be bad" is just terrible logic even by right-wingers' standards. When called out for how silly this meme is: "Yes, Hillary totally wants to round up all the Jews and commit genocide. Obama is Hitler, Hillary is Hitler...I guess all democrats are Hitler reincarnate. C'mon, Josh. I know you're conservative, but you've got better sense than slanderous extremism. She's not great. But she's nowhere near Hitler." Another Facebook "friend" of mine replied with: "no one is saying she's like Hitler, though no one knew Hitler was like Hitler till he rose to power. The comparison is in the ideology. Whenever leaders start talking like this, it's not long before they start indiscriminately usurping more power in order to take from many to give to others in the name of "the common good"." (I don't know how to make an image copy of the conversation and replacing their names with puns, apologies)

My aunt shared this video, tagging me with "this might make your head explode!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpH5L8zCtSk&t=7s It's pretty standard jerking off to the military and Reagan speeches. I replied with a video of Secretary Kerry sharing some of the things his diplomats have accomplished lately without killing people or spending insane amounts of money. No heads exploded.

The narrative is that nobody knew Hitler would be Hitler despite Mein Kampf. If you start saying, "well maybe people should have had a clue from his book," then that conflicts with the "the German people as a whole were victims just as much!" line of popular thinking. The other side of this is, "the US was such a tolerant country at the time that it couldn't let Hitler murder all those people!" That's horse poo poo too. The US public was pretty anti-semitic at the time, and they didn't much care for homosexuals, socialists, and the disabled either. The other cripplingly depressing reason people don't take Mein Kampf as a serious signal of what Hitler would do is that Hitler's views on Jewish people and nationalism were not as extreme for the time as we interpret them to be now. Anti-semitism was popular. Eugenics was popular. Beating up lower classes that try to organize political power was popular. ErIog fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Apr 16, 2015 |

Right, it's reasonable that the German people turned to nationalism after WWI, latching on to the more or less excuses Hitler makes for the state of Germany at the time. Also if I recall correctly, he never came out and said "I'm gonna kill all of the jews" before the Third Reich. And of course the English speaking world didn't give a poo poo about the Nazi party before he became I suppose my point is that it's no secret what Hitler was like before he became Chancellor, and despite the sentiment about Clinton, it's pretty likely she's not going to dissolve congress or ban all opposition parties if she becomes president. Also upon some further reflection, perhaps I should state that they knew what the Nazi party was about. I mean, they did get the votes. But I am conflicted about whether or not the populace knew they would seize total control, and if Nazi propaganda and campaigning was that transparent about it. dougdrums fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Apr 16, 2015 |

The US public was pretty anti-semitic at the time, and they didn't much care for homosexuals, socialists, and the disabled either. Americans who opposed Hitler before 1941 were considered 'anti-American' and the FBI kept files on them as 'premature anti-fascists', which was apparently a bad thing as far as the FBI was concerned. Premature antifascism could get you denied a security clearance, or even denied a job outright with some government agencies, and it got a lot of people called before HUAC in the 50s. Funnily enough, this means that you actually had a lot of communists working for the CIA in its early days, because its predecessor organization, the OSS, would take loving anyone who knew what they were doing and didn't care what your background was. A whole bunch of 'premature antifascists' who still wanted to fight Hitler ended up doing spec-ops for the OSS when the regular military refused to take them.

You arguing the point will not dissuade someone who thinks that Hillary Clinton is the literal anti-christ. Them trying to connect her to Hitler is is them trying to convince you because they think this will persuade you. The best we can do is ridicule their entire argument because it is bullshit, speculative, and not based in reality.

OAquinas posted:Basically, the diplomatic mission was overrun by over a hundred guys wielding automatic weapons and explosives. Short of having teleporting marines in power armor, it doesn't matter if we had allocated extra funds or not--at most it would have only delayed the inevitable. The ambassador and vilerat were dead (or as good as) within the first hour or so. And outer security of the compound went to the lowest bidder group, most of the guards didn't even have weapons and got caught sleeping at their posts. Some deterrance could've avoided an attack in the first place.
