Imagine modern Bundesrepublik being led by a former Gestapo officer who made Germany a police state but without explicite nazi ideology. Would swastikas be a gross misrepresentation?

"A police state but without explicit Nazi ideology" is a bit closer to Nazism than kleptocrat mob-run Russia is to Soviet-style communism Neither is particularly democratic but that's about it Trogdos! posted:

To be honest, it initially confused me as I was interpreting it as being some sort of "Facebook is run by crazy extreme leftists because Zuckerberg's criticized Trump a few times!" message, not just "A thing happened involving Russia".

The hammer and sickle is a pretty explicit leftist symbol so trying to make it stick to modern hyper-capitalist Russia is one of the dumbest things imaginable.

Also, the fantasy world where Trump is not at least as fat as Kim Jong Un. That that Trump went for that particular insult would be astounding, if I didn't already believe Trump was completely incapable of self-reflection. He can't comprehend that people look at him, Donald Trump, and see a fat old guy. Prism fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Nov 13, 2017 |

Like in what world is whining about how "I'm trying to be his friend" in regards to a loving North Korean Despot, is considered good or mature from the POTUS? We already have Dennis Rodman, Donnie boy, and you are already way too goddamn friendly with dictators as is.

I wonder if hardcore Trump supporters ever see screenshotted Trump tweets and say to themselves, "Ugh, this is obviously fake. How dumb do these loony libs think I am? Trump isn't a teenager, he wouldn't trade petty verbal jabs with an unstable dictator. Lemme just take a look at Trump's actual timeline..." "Oh poo poo, it's real? Recalculating... recalculating...

They see bullying, name-calling, and intimidation (even if it's as impotent as Trump's) as a sign of strength. The fact that he acted like a big whiny douche during the campaign was a big part of his appeal because they interpreted as "non-PC" and 'telling it like it is.'

The generous reading to this is about the "white moderate," the ones who prefer order to justice and all the stuff from the Letter from a Birmingham Jail, and how people shouldn't wring their hands and call for civil debate with people whose starting position is "let's kill all the blacks and Jews." The more probable reading is "heh, liberals are the real racists  " bullshit.

It's the first one, it's specifically cheering on antifascism and the text decries the inaction of liberals. The usual shitheads would just call the antifascists Nazis.

Jonas Albrecht posted:"You old" is some classic casual racism. I didn't parse it that way because I've seen "old" as a noun used so often on these forums (often in discussions of East Asian politics, ironically, e.g., "The LDP will hold onto power because they still have the support of olds").
