@EvolLove@amerika@carolen@inscius Socialism predates communism. Nazis and communists are both inspired by socialism and they fought bitterly.
Communists fight with each other too in order to decide who should have power. But not while they don’t have power. When they don’t have power, they preach tolerance.
Nazis did the exact same crap. Here you go citizen. Empower yourself and help us take our country back. Ok we have power now, pipe down and show me your papers since you didn’t salute
In my small hometown there was a fairly popular police officer that had a girlfriend that got caught with a little bit of weed, according to the rumors. The city clerk had it out for him before and used the rumor and everything she could find to make sure he got fired, and indeed he got fired.
So he ran for mayor, won, and then fired the city clerk.
@PNS they would have had to arrest nearly all of the parents in my small hometown when I was growing up. Most of us were latchkey kids starting around 9 or 10.
@Zennagain@ZeroSum06 This reminds me of my mom’s response to feminism “Us women are fierce and stronger and more intelligent than men. We would be ruling this world if it weren’t for those mean men keeping us down.”
I wish I could find the video of an Austrian woman that explains why they were so happy to see the Germans and then why they quickly began to regret it, especially if you were a parent of a kid with down syndrome. And secrecy and censorship was paramount to keeping it going.
There is a big difference between blocking anti-American propaganda from foreign countries and blocking all media that isn’t nationalized and flattering to a single party, which is socialism.
@EvolLove@ILoveAmericaNews I started watching that Europa documentary you sent awhile ago. I got about 25 minutes into it until I decided to go to bed.
I agree. I think it’s important to not look at history like it is a Disney movie with a two dimensional villain that’s simply dumb and evil.
@EvolLove@ILoveAmericaNews I will watch it some more. Eugenics was all over. It was strong in the US and Britain. The famous US pilot Charles Lindberg was pretty big on it, especially after living in Europe. Nazis definitely latched onto it to an extreme and Rothschilds were definitely used to prove that Jews can’t be trusted.
But regardless, if you give any entity the power that socialism has, nationalist or global, it’s only a matter of time before it gets co-opted.
@EvolLove@ILoveAmericaNews One of things that documentary introduced to me was the extent of power and influence the Rothschilds had and still have. But luckily I can be against that without assuming everyone is genetically predestined. And unfortunately the insanity of the idiots that want to expose the Rothschilds just help keep the Rothschilds an invisible elephant in the room.
I wasn’t really talking about anyone in particular. I was talking about socialism in general. That’s why I said whether it is global or national. And my point is that it doesn’t matter if the vision had truth and honesty and compassion for all in mind at the beginning. It always gets sick and twisted and overly committed.
@viking@inscius oh I see. One thing that I have really noticed about many Scandinavians, mostly Swedes, is that if they speak English they speak it better than most Americans and with nearly no accent. Wonder if watching American tv would explain that.
@viking@inscius I already tried to find Albert and Herbert. Did find full episodes on YouTube but they don’t have subtitles. I might try some more. But I’m curious about Zeb and Centennial.
@inscius@viking Ya. So I have heard. A lot. It’s not going well anywhere, but that equivalent increase in population proportionally to the US would be 70 million! The EU and ruling Swedes really underestimated what they were doing, to say the least.
Plus I think there is a big difference between wanting to go to America and wanting to become American. America has a path way to become American as an immigrant because of the historical identity of America. Most countries don’t have that.
