One of the things he wants to say is they "lost respect in democratic institutions" what do you want to tell you is that all sides of the politics were bought by the Jews it's the same as now this dude is full of shit
And learning that the judges in pre ww2 Germany would let you off with minimal sentences for murder if you were right wing is kinda similar to trump pardoning all the January 6th insurrectionists
When the US Supreme court ruled that the President can't be prosecuted for crimes while in office, I immediately thought of the 1933 "Enabling Act" which basically "enabled" Hitler to do whatever it took to become dictator without any consequences.
Yes and if anyone is skeptical if the Supreme Court's intention was to bring about a dictator, I suggest to them that they look into the individual Justices on the bench. Some of them are are absolute nutjob wacko extremists. At least one of them literally wants theocracy.
@@Kedai610my friends didn't understand why I said that was going to be the end no matter who win the election, that with that power in the hands of the president it was only just a matter of time. The election just accelerated it.
Everyone who studies history saw this coming though. There've been creeping Orwellian and authoritarian policies eroding our democracy for a while, mindless hyper-nationalism, and it was only a matter of time.
"The absence of any sort of resistance on the part of the social democrats (...) was decisive." This is a chilling quote with the current state of things..
@@lerikhkl Not quite so in the early 20th century though. Social Democratic Parties were essentially Communist Parties before they separated into softies and hard liners. There was no distinction between social democracy and communism back then. They were the same thing.

Hey Wisconsinite here. To give perspective on how bad the gerrymandering is I live about 10 minutes outside of a college town. I have lived here for decades at this point. I grew up here, went to school there, worked there, and yet I don’t vote with them. Instead I vote with another town more than 40 minutes away that I have been to a handful of times in my life. A town that almost always votes red.
As an American who got a degree in German and political science (yeah, it's a very useful degree...), I constantly find myself trying to explain that the rise of Fascism (including Nazism) wasn't just like one day this wizard shows up and magically turns the country into a dictatorship. It was a lengthy process that took nearly a decade and a half in Germany. Yes, Italy's transformation was faster but they had their own issues, and ultimately still had a monarch who wielded power above Mussolini (and Mussolini was ultimately brought down when the King fired him). Even once Hitler was in power and the Enabling Act was passed, it still took about a year and a half for the Gleichschaltung to complete. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be vigilant; quite the opposite, we should be aware of the gradual slip to authoritarianism at the hands of populist right-wing demagoguery.
As a German I think that exactly because it is a slow process it is so difficult to fight. Because the public is basically gaslighted bit by bit to accept it. If those people would start with their end-goal, there would be way more resistance against it.
Trump and Hitler literally come from the same town, Trump is Hitler's book of speeches _My New Order_ verbatim at his rallies. He has friends who greet him with a hail Zeus and click of the heels, his name in Gematria is _Messiah_ Baron is the same word as _Fuhrer_ denoting a Knight of the Holy Roman Empire. Donald (King) John (the Baptist) Trump (G.O.A.T) was born during a Super Wolf Blood Moon 7 days before the Summer solstice under Orion the Mighty Hunter, 700 days before the founding of Israel. He was inaugurated on the Centenary of the Bolshevik revolution and the capture of Jerusalem aged 70yrs 7 months and 7 days, he moved the embassy to Jerusalem on israel's 70th anniversary and lives on the 66th floor of 666ft Trump tower with a giant mural of Zeus on his penthouse ceiling. Seig hail is the Greek salute to Zeus, or the Sun. His Tropical Sunsign is Gemini, the Twins, but his Siderial sign is Taurus, his starsign is Capricorn but is really Serpentis, the Serpent Bearer. Biden is a Scorpio, aka the Scorpion King, who stings Osiris' ankle, in order for Isis to resurrect him in the form of Serpentis 13th Sunsign of the Babylonian Zodiac. MAGA is latin for wizard, and Klan wizards burn the Phoenician Sun God Symbol in illumination ceremonies aka pyre rites or Holocaustis, meaning "burnt offering" just like the burning of effigies at Bohemian Grove in the Cremation of Care Ceremony. The first form of the Bible, the Vaticanus Graecus was written around the same time as the Antikythera mechanism was built in 325BC. The name means Son of the Serpent, a reference to Hydra in Leo, and Fomalhaut in Aquarius, in the 3rd Century AD Astrologer Vettori Valentinus used the Vaticanus Graecus to construct a 13 cycle Lunar Zodiac. King Sigismund God King Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (who commisioned the Rosslyn Chapel) gave Count Dracuul his name in 1431, it means Order of the Dragon, and Dracula means Son of the Dragon, Chertoff means Son of the Devil in Russian. The original name of the Templars was the Great Brotherhood of the White Serpent, and the Essenes were dedicated to interpreting the Mysteries of Pythagoras, whose name means Heart of the Serpent, a reference to Alphard in Hydra, called the Vermilion Dragon by the Chinese, the Constellation associated with the Phoenix, who appears on the Eastern Horizon at Xmas, when Osiris is at it's Zenith. Next to Orion is Pleiades, in the center of which is Alcyone, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac. Trump shares his birthday with Osiris, St John, Aleister Crowley, and Aushwitz, and 14 days before his coup attempt Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus shared a Great Conjunction in Aquarius, the brightest since it happened in Virgo, Beth Elam, House of Bread or Fruit in 7BC. He also watched an Annular eclipse on his birthday halfway through his first term. Israel is the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra, Serpentis, or Eschmun, the Widow's Scion, Phoenician God of Healing, who became Apollo, Zeus of the Cave, a reference to Serpentis, which is shaped like a cave, and whose Scion was Asclepius, from whom we get the Caduceus. And before Eschmun it was Enoch, Hermes, and Thoth, who is the Son of Set, or Typhon. The Cave of Apollo in Cilicia and Delphi is also the home of Typhon, Tphens or Zaphon, the 100 Headed God, Hydra takes up 100 degrees of the Zodiac. It was Hermes Trismegistus who placed his Emerald Tablets inside the Arc of the Covenant, buried beneath pillars of Emerald and Gold. Those Pillars can only be found at the Temple of Melqart, in Tyre, which means Rock, and sits offshore of Urshu Shalom, City of the New Moon, the root word of Jerusalem. It is the first New Moon in September that marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Phoenician, Jewish, Assyrian and Celtic New Year, marking the start and end of the Zodiac, the Alpha Aleph, being Taurus and Pleiades and the Omega, Isis. Between these sits Sirius, aka Thoth, from which the Syrians take their name. The Temple was built when Rameses II married Jezebel, the Hittite Princess from Sidon, which means Kingdom of the Fish, the Phoenician Symbol for fish is X, which became the Chi Rho, and later the Latin Exe. She was the Daughter of Hiram, who built the Tower of Babel for Pharoah, in order to meet the God of Moses. This marriage in 911BC marked the founding of the Neo Assyrian Empire. Their Son is Eshmun, the God of Healing, aka Baal, or Lord, Pan is the Slavic word for Lord. The Grotto of Pan can be found at Mt Hermon, which was considered a Grove, and where the head of Goliath is buried. Israel is currently building a Temple to Trump at the summit. Another name for Enoch is El Ashmunein. The Catholic Jesus is based on Melqart and Hercules, Tammuz, Apollo, his best analogy though is Dionysus, God of Wine, born to Zeus and Persophenes, who sits atop the Capitol building in DC, she's the wife of Hades/Zeus in the form of a Serpent, and Goddess of War, Pain Suffering and Death, aka Isis, Athena, Sekhmet, Kali, Kybele, Gebal, Gabriel, Mary. Her mother is Demeter, Goddess of Grain. Holodomor means pain offering, just like in Georgia in 33 under Stalin. 2021 marks 33 years to 2054, the 1000th anniversary of the Schism of Rome, when global average temperatures are set to hit plus 5 degrees celcius, at plus 2 we can't grow grain at scale and 9 billion people will lose 90% of their food supply. Methane from Beef farming makes up 52% of all greenhouse gases, and is 90% subsidized subsidised. Banning Beef subsidies could stall climate change overnight, but guess who runs the Beef Racket... Oil giants Shell and BP are planning for global temperatures to rise as much as 5°C by the middle of the century.

It will never not be maddening and insanity inducing: that we have the historical context to know exactly where we're headed, but not the self-awareness to care, acknowledge, or do anything about it. Many will piss and shit themselves at the mere mention of the rise of fascism in the U.S., will outright laugh at people pointing out the parallels between what is happening in the states currently and the circumstances that led to the nazis taking power. Sort of feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone, except it's the reality in which many of us are currently having to live in.
Gramsci - "The pessimism of the intellect and optimism of the will." We see how hard our path is to freedom but we are willing to fight for it. Many things historically seemed doomed but the will of the people saved history. Never give up but don't be delusioned that the path will be easy
If you think we have the historical context to "know exactly where we're headed", then you're overlooking a few big points Three Arrows made in this video. Not being able to predict the future is a pretty basic tenant of history.
You Three Arrows Gang are wild. But as a Marxist Leninist Tankie I just to say if you want to end Fascism you have to change the base mode of production to Socialism. Fascism is a part of the Superstructure. Things like Schools, Churches, The Press. Society. A Society will always become increasingly Fascist as long as Capitalism is the base mode of production. Fascism is the highest stage of Capitalism. You can’t change and maintain the Superstructure till you shape and maintain The Base. Basic Marxism 101

@@morbidsearch We can all see the relevance of good looking people on an island trying not to copulate, and spectacularly failing, when examined along side American politics. It is just like Americans voting against their own self interests and electing those that seek to suppress the very working class that elected them by stripping them of rights, shifting the tax burden onto them, and distracting from issues inconvenient to their corporate donators by focusing only on absurd culture war issues. Voting against self interest is like one of the island studs getting an erection. They both know this one act is detrimental to their futures and all they have worked for, but there just isn't enough blood in the brain while maintaining an erection or getting caught up in the war on Christmas or one teenage trans girl in middle America winning a swim meet. So they know not to cheat on their significant other and lower the prize pool or believing Christians are the most persecuted class or that trans people are responsible for inflation, but it just feels so damn good to them at the time and their wills are weak do to that lack of blood flow. At least a few do have post-vote clarity, but it is not nearly as common as post-nut clarity.
Also - that's why I'm worried about my own country - Poland. Government here hijacked the Constitutional Tribunal first and made a "Judicial Reform" for others.
@@connorhutchinson9615 Depending how you define it, you can say we already have it. Though obviously if we go with the spirit of this video and slightly less loose definitions of "fascist" - then yeah. Current one isn't fascist yet. But they do have this tendencies. They control state media and their level of being "fair" to government is closer to Russian or North Korean State media than to Western ones. But there was still possibility that they could be voted out in elections next year. However due to the War in Ukraine, people will get behind that government. Especially since they decided to increase Military spending etc. The problem is that even I agree with them on those 2 things. We need to support Ukraine as much as possible and we need better army. However on that second point they are only doing flashy stuff. They don't spend money wisely. They throw it away for increase of capabilities in 1 specialty for 10 or more times the cost it would take if it was done smartly. Their plans to have 300.000 strong Military are.... weird. We have problems with maintaining numbers in current army - and now we would have to expand it by more than 100%? Ridiculous. But that makes them popular. Problem is that people either love them or hate them. Same with other parties. And the left in Poland as usual is divided and from time to time they also suggest some ridiculous things. Center is almost non-existent at this point. You have parties that are center-right and center-left in theory, but in reality those are only less fringe options. PO (previous government, before 2015) had a lot of issues, but they were right-wing light and even had some centrists. And current government tried taking over the power, when they ruled in 2005-2007, but were ousted in elections, because people turned out to vote in droves against them. But back then they didn't manage to take over media completely. And they didn't hijack judiciary. They've learned their lesson sadly.
I wrote about Poland and the US in my BA thesis a few years back, relating to abortion and women's rights. I was genuinely shocked about some of the things I came accross, the ways in which the Polish government seeks to undermine very fundamental rights and legislation. I truly hope "we" can turn this around.
As outlandish and unrealistic (and I mean come on, it won't happen...) as it is - just for a moment entertain the thought of the most powerful nation on Earth flipping into Semi-Fascism. That's horrifying. It wouldn't be a third rate power like Germany - it'd be the largest economy in the world - the *preeminent* military hyperpower.
Listening to someone like Steve Bannon... there are others... you can sense the joy and motivation they have at undermining the state legally, and via its own institutions. They feel especially clever when their political enemies are restrained by institutions he does not respect, and all watching know that.
Philosophy Tube did a video on Steve Bannon, where he created a character called The Arsonist, whose monologue gave all the reasons why people like Bannon exist. And they want to burn those institutions down to the ground because they hate things being the way they are. They feel entitled to do so, because they are afraid of becoming irrelevant, and as capitalism is lurching from crisis to crisis, they're right to be scared. So, they need to break up the established order so that they can retain control.
I just don’t understand fascists. I don’t understand why they’re so cruel. Why they have such a misanthropic view of the world. They want to bring unlimited suffering and misery to countless people they’ve never even met. It makes no sense.
@@gello8518 You're revealing your ignorance and are not in any position to condescend to me. People who think N.zi Germany was some kind of an unexplainable and unreplicable anomaly which nothing can be learnt from are vacuously stupid, and if I said what I think of them my comment would be auto filtered by TH-cam. Read history and political theory. Look at the parallels. The comparisons drawn by this video are entirely valid.
I always enjoy your videos. I’m a Black American female. One of my many concerns is that some of our white brethren tend to ignore issues that only affect us. They seem to perform elaborate mental gymnastics to explain away any issue as self-inflicted or a personal failure and so the fight or solution does not involve them. Even issues that will clearly reach them eventually are kinda ignored and not discussed for fear of feeling uncomfortable. My wish is that they would see the bigger picture of how an injustice to us is like a canary in a coal mine. You stamp it out before it gets bigger. Some examples of this include the opioid crisis, teen pregnancy and police brutality. But this also applies to Gerrymandering, which will eventually reach areas of consequence if bad people are allowed to continue unchecked.
As a white american male, I completely agree. I think a lot of privileged people will advocate for social justice, but they always push back at any idea of progressive economics, completely ignoring that the economic inequalities in the U.S. are a main reason why these issues are problems to begin with. Many people see the problem getting bigger, and instead of replacing parts of the system, we just want to add bandaids to it, expecting that it won’t completely fall apart.
Also, how do you propose to stamp out teen pregnancy? Teens have been having it off with both teens and adults since before the agricultural revolution. Many have tried to stop it, with little effect. It seems better sex ed helps a little, but education doesn't 'stamp out' anything.
One of the Things I always appreciate about what you make is that you take care not to say that anything is irrevocable. You make sure to give people hope about the future even in the difficult and scary moments.
This is fascinating. The open question of whether Democrats will step up and do what's needed is, I think, already answered by the fact that they are completely dependent on corporate interests. They would rather become a moderate dissenting party with no power under Republican/fascist rule than risk rocking the boat with corporations by pushing the interests of citizens.
You talking about the same party that created the very mess the USA is currently suffering?? I do find it funny Dan here is talking about "democracy" yet ignores the fact the USA is not a democracy and he ignores the lack the democracy in his own nation especially on the refugee and EU question.
The democrats aren't any better about their fascism. They gerrymander and rig elections just the same. They only call it out for their own political expedience, not to protect democracy. Personally, pro choice fascism really isnt better than pro life fascism.
@@kizzagt - this is an amusing bit of drivel. The United States is a Republic but it elects its representatives using democratic elections. As for your drivel blaming the Democrats for the current mess in the US is an unsupported and unsupportable opinion. Bye
what is "what is needed" exactly? unless they have more votes they can't do much. And the interests of citizens are going to republicans as they get the house in the midterms
Ghost, a Swedish band, has also made the basic comparison in their song "Twenties". I actually like that it is becoming a general thing because it means people are at least admitting the US is going right.
If you ask me, I get the feeling our civil war will be more like the troubles of Ireland(many act of terrorism, rallies, big brawls, fight of laws, etc but not full on military battles), only it happening to a big country rather part of an island, I mean you could said we already in one given the clashes bewteen left and right wing.
That is a good thought. But in that case the military would have to be pretty much neutral, right? I don't think the US military eill do that. They will either split and then you have a real civil war or they will all support fascism.
Yep. Luckily, the GOP keeps coming down on the side of issues that matter to various groups, like veterans, that _should_ keep them militarily and law enforcement-wise weak. This whole FBI clapback included. I'm not a huge fan of law enforcement, but I feel like they're still trying to do the decent thing in many instances now. The school shootings and lack of action, for me, are one of the worst indicators as to where the country is. But you have to go after corruption in government; you can't just let the money run through and gut everything.
@@tilltronje1623 The US military is forbidden to operate on home soil, and they seem to be pretty serious about that. Now the _National Guard_ on the other hand might murder a lot of Americans, wouldn't be the first time for them, but unless the system collapses completely I don't think the military will be involved in a direct way.

Update on th US Supreme Court: the court overturned the Chevron ruling. Now large corporations can contest a ruling against them from regulatory agencies like the EPA in court. Since regulatory agencies do not have the resources (people) to fight the armies of lawyers that corporations will bring to trials, the agencies will become toothless. Also the courts will now determine outcomes of regulations instead of experts in the agencies (people with education in technical fields).
So a US citizen or company should never be able to challenge a government agencies decision or rules? Also, the US government has plenty of resources to defend itself in court.
👏 There's a lot of very valid parallels to draw for sure. I do think the "top 10 fascism moments this week" conversation is one that is not entirely trivial with the insanity vortex that is the GOP continually picking up speed, but it's important to know what made the Weimarer Republik the nutrient-rich soil for fascism that it was, not just know the name and throw it around. Anyone who believes that the US political establishment has just started leaving the beaten path and hasn't been setting up and making allowances for years, making the current speedrun of injustice possible, hasn't been paying attention.
Indeed. It was all in place since many years, it just takes 1 person who's willing to do it. Because there's no security nets to prevent it to happen. I know this and I'm an European living in Canada.

The US did face a similar problem with judges as Weimar did after WWI, where pro-Confederate judges remained on the bench during and after reconstruction in the 1860s. These judges blocked state actions against Confederate terrorists who assassinated Black elected officials (eg what happened with Republican Governor Holden of North Carolina). And many of these Confederate judges and other government officials were never removed and instead passed their ideology down to their successors. It is truly terrifying how long their reach goes over time
I’ve only become aware of this fact recently. It’s kind of interesting/disturbing how this piece of history is so easily forgotten or not even really given gravitas. This is a direct cause to the effect that is modern America. America allowed confederates and nazis to keep their spaces in this country, and so naturally these two destructive, white-centric ideas, have coalesced into an abomination of festering hatred.

When I read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich I was astonished by how much the Weimar Republic paralleled the current US political dynamics. There were many times where I would have to remind myself that I was reading about 1920's Germany and not contemporary America. And the thing people need to realize is that it't not the left that resembles the Weimar Republic, nor is it the right. It is the political system itself. It comes down to a political system that is so disfunctional that it is incapable of implementing anything more than tax cuts.
Meanwhile, in 2024, the Orange Man was able to convince a plurality of non-college educated voters that he'd solve sticky prices for essentials with import tariffs and that he wouldn't deport immigrant Hispanic men, somehow.
I just subbed today after watching 2 of your vids and I thought "hey, he didnt post in 9 months, I hope he didnt give up yt" and here you are. Thanx for the great content.
Thank you for pointing out the historical fallacy of teleology. This moment cannot be compared with any other point in history. It is its own moment. Human experiences rhyme but they do not directly copy. What we face in the United States is something new. The only reality is that the republic is definitely strained.
this is internally contradictory. if you admit that history "rhymes" then you are saying that you can find similarities. Which means you can compare. Sure, it's not exactly the same, and things won't go exactly the same way. But we should learn from history and try to stamp out with conviction any force that seeks to drag us to a dark place that we have seen before. At the moment I'm optimistic, I like this mar-a-lago raid- I hope an arrest comes of it, causing Trump's supporters to do go wild and do some wacky shit because they can't help themselves, which could give a great pretext to Lord Brandon to begin mass arrests of the GOP. The seditious behaviour of the GOP has, in my opinion, justified a mass arrest of the party for many years now, but this would seal the deal I think.
@@ff-qf1th Maybe what you are attempting to stomp out isn't what will drag us from the light and into darkness. Have you ever stopped and thought about that?
Watching the reaction to trans rights in this country is a real trip. That's what's on my mind, gleefully knowing half the country is close to ripping you apart for being different and the other is somewhat willing to accept. History doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme.
Actually the only ones ripping people apart are talmudic leftists and complicit drs removing healthy sex organs to sterilize children and the mentally ill and autistic. You get what you deserve eventually.
According to Pew research, around 65% of US adults support anti discrimination protections for transgender people, but only 38% believe that gender can be different from sex assigned at birth, a number that is shrinking in recent years. This number is split between age demographics, with around half of those under 30 and only a third of those over 50 agreeing. Essentially, most either support or don't have an opinion on anti discrimination policies, but most don't accept trans people as the gender they identify as.
Since the gay marriage decision I've been against America's supreme court and now since it struck down Roe V Wade it seems the social liberals have also realised the supreme court sucks. Finally something the social liberals and conservatives can agree on.
It's especially weird, that the supreme court holds so much influence, that everybody knows the names of the supreme justices and everything about them. I don't know anybody in the german constitutional court by name, or anything about them. Generally speaking, they have a more passive role, with their main focus being on reviewing the constitutionality of laws being passed and giving their statements and possible adjustments to fix potentially risque laws. They're also not in their position for life. I think they serve 12 year terms, they have (I think) a maximum of 2 terms and an age limit, they must not exceed. Also, our chancellor doesn't get to choose the judges, but (I think) that gets sort of rotated between our parliament and the representative body of our states (they are chosen by state parliaments and not elected). But the corresponding other branch of the legislative also has to agree (or something like that, I'm not entirely sure tbh and I thin I would have to look up all the details)
Take your medications and just try to relax. You are in a echo chamber of fear and delusions and all this is done on purpose to fire up voters for elections are near again and pure evil is on the other side.
You are under the neoliberal-democratic moral matrix. Trump supporters are under the neoconservative-christian moral matrix. Bind and Blind. What you get is fascism. Fascism is the the cooperation of Capitalism/Monarchism with Communism/Socialism This is what we have... and because of this individual rights will start to decay. As people get sucked into socialist-capitalism we will see a decline in moral capital.
Everyone (including me) likes the flashy bits of history, the speeches, the riots, the revolutions etc., but we often forget how important the underlying processes are. By the time the flashy bits happen, a million quiet boring things happened that lead to that moment. I experience this in my own country as well. I'm from Russia, and things like taking over the Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine were all huge moments, but there was a million small things happening before that. A great analogy I heard was the frog in the bucket - in order to cook a frog you don't need to blast them with boiling water right away, you just slowly raise the temperature, and the frog won't notice until it's dead. We had a government formed after a messy crash of a dictatorship, and even though most people in power were not that democratically inclined, there was still hope in politics, there was real opposition, but it slowly but surely got crushed. If you look at Russia 15 years ago and now it's a huge difference, now any opposing political thought gets destroyed by police searches, jail time for likes on a post, massive fines that destroy people's lives, and all it took was 15-20 years of quietly passing laws, appointing judges, faking election results and boom - now if someone gets prison time for holding up a piece of paper that says 'no to war' it's perfectly legal within our system. TLDR: Shit sucks, man. Слава Україні!
Have people actually gone to prison for protesting? I know people have been arrested but have any been imprisoned? That journalist on the main TV news only got a fine and no prison. I know in theory the law allows for up to 10 years but what actually happens is often different.
@@adrianthoroughgood1191 A lot of people get short sentences like 15-30 days in prison, but in some cases it's much longer, Alexey Gorinov got 7 years, for example. Daniil Tikhomirov - 1,5 years. Also, some people get dragged through the court system without an actual sentence, like Alexandra Skochilenko, who's been in jail since April and doesn't have a sentence yet, the court dates get delayed all the time. I think it's purposeful torture in her case. bc she has serious health problems which got a lot worse since she's been jailed and she's being refused medical attention. A lot of people who got shorter sentences lost their jobs and with them the last means to live and close attention from the police and Centre E (Centre against extremism, basically a system of internal political spies and snitches). If you get caught protesting the second time, the punishment will be more severe.
@@Willy_Tepes that's not true. No one is getting prison just for protesting in the UK. The JSO people where planning direct action that would cause big disruption to infrastructure. The people getting prison now are for violent riots not protests. They are typically getting 2 years or so. The penalty for murder is life. You can get out on probation in some cases but you are never free.
@@adrianthoroughgood1191 4 people this week. Sentences from 2-3 years. For shouting at police.

something i would like to add: before weimar it was impossible to become a judge, if you were from a working class family. If you somehow managed to cough up the exorbitant fees, you would be rejected because your family was not important enough. you would instead become a defense attorney (one of those assigned to you by the court), or if you were really good, an attorney. those attorneys would then be extremely vicious in order to prove themselves, that they were one of the good ones, to gain respect from a monarchist club of judges.
I keep telling my friends that there is a very real possibility of America falling to fascism in the near future, and neither of them seem to believe me. Maybe this video will help me convince them! Considering one is black and one is gay, they really need to be taking this situation seriously.
I predicted where things were heading the day the Tea Party debuted on Fox News. It was obvious conservatives would lose control of that beast sooner or later and fascists would take over. Ever since then it's been steadily downhill, I don't understand how some people still don't see it this late in the game.
Thanks for the heads up in Moore vs Harper. If the SC rules that State legislatures can do such things I will actually look in to moving. I know people say this a lot as hyperbole, but once states can literally ignore the will of the people, there is nothing left but slow decay of the republic to either war or authoritarianism.
Listen, if you're going to move out of country you need to get the process started now. I'm looking at potentially years to get into Canada IF they let me in. You need to have money or a job in a certain sector of the economy for most governments to want you. For Canada I have to take an expensive English language test even though I'm a native speaker. Additionally, it can take a few months just to get a passport. This immigrating thing is no joke. If you're serious, start now so you can be out by the time everything goes to complete shit in 10-20 years.
@@ryno4ever433I think that is the downside of creating a world where the upper middle class gets to agree only the upper middle class can stay mobile.
I love the point about how the beer hall putsch wasn't what started fascism since, at least as best as I can remember from my underfunded American public high school education, that's kinda how we learned it in school. Out of no where, Mr. Scary Man came in and used his magic evil powers to start WWII. Ok obviously that's a bit of an exaggeration, but truthfully the beer hall putsch and Reichstag fire were all we were taught in our history classes before starting the chapter on WWII. And I think that lends itself to a particularly strange way we talk about politics in general, at least here in contemporary America. That being the constant tendency to lean heavily into magical thinking. I think that's why Jan 6 captured people's attention more than the constant stream of supreme court travesties rolling out for the last decade. The US Constitution is another great example where magical thinking is at play. I often jokely call the constitution "the third testament" since so many people treat the document like they're in some Christian Evangelical bible study and not basic legal studies. It's absolute insanity. I think it's partially to blame for how misinformation has become so rampant. The truth doesn't matter, only your "beliefs" matter in the "market place of free speech." It's a sort of mindset I find to be incredibly dangerous; it's how the republicans justify rolling back human rights and how the democrats sit on their hands while telling themselves that American institutions will magically save them
I think comparing the Beer Hall Putch to the 6th is valid, but people need to remember that it is more of a benchmark for the progression of fascism than a cause (and a warning to not under respond just because it was riddled with incompetence, as they usually regroup and try again if given the room to).
The whole "beliefs and feelings" ride we're on is being steered strongly by both parties, and people are too tied up in petty partisan warfare to see it. :(
@dean_l33 wrong. I have a group of 50 people already lmao. Push good people too far see what happens. Right now we're focused on local politics and support networking.

Some of us aren't just posting online to feel better. Some of us are beaten down and it's all we've got in us. It's better than nothing and I have personally witnessed people on forums go from posting right wing fascist bullshit to moving significantly to the left. Yeah I know it's nowhere is near left enough for anyone on this channel let alone the channel owner. But it's like Beau of the fifth column says, do as much as you can whenever you can for as long as you can
Posting online is pointless. It's like yelling into an airplane engine. You cannot stop a scorpion from stinging you by asking it politely. You stomp the scorpion to death. All posting online does is make you feel like you've done something so you can smugly go back to watching whatever baking show you watch. If you don't believe in something enough to die for it, stop pretending that you do. All the greatest people in history died for their causes. Don't pretend you're close to them.
No. Screw that doomer nonsense. Time for nonviolent confrontation. Ghandi, MLK, and the Act Up protestors of the AIDS crisis would want us to fight back with stubborn, nonviolent resistance. We don't need a guiding messiah figure, or any special education. We just need numbers and a willingness to risk a few days in jail. The path is clear.
I think you’re mostly spot on, but I do think you’re drastically underestimating how many Americans are just out right authoritarian and have completely given up on democracy.
Yeah, this video is built on the hypothesis that Americans are good people who don't want to live in a theocracy. But it's wrong, because I've lived here for 20 years and white yanks are a single afternoon away from ditching their klan hoods and jumping into an SS uniform. They don't do anything about fascism because they all WANT fascism.

Indeed...
When the US Supreme court ruled that the President can't be prosecuted for crimes while in office, I immediately thought of the 1933 "Enabling Act" which basically "enabled" Hitler to do whatever it took to become dictator without any consequences.
Yes and if anyone is skeptical if the Supreme Court's intention was to bring about a dictator, I suggest to them that they look into the individual Justices on the bench. Some of them are are absolute nutjob wacko extremists. At least one of them literally wants theocracy.
When they passed that, I told my friends that we’d codified the instrument by which American democracy would die

Well, I see I'm not the only one revisiting this in early 2025.
Rewatching post 2024 election. Wonder what you're thinking these days.
As an American who got a degree in German and political science (yeah, it's a very useful degree...), I constantly find myself trying to explain that the rise of Fascism (including Nazism) wasn't just like one day this wizard shows up and magically turns the country into a dictatorship. It was a lengthy process that took nearly a decade and a half in Germany. Yes, Italy's transformation was faster but they had their own issues, and ultimately still had a monarch who wielded power above Mussolini (and Mussolini was ultimately brought down when the King fired him). Even once Hitler was in power and the Enabling Act was passed, it still took about a year and a half for the Gleichschaltung to complete. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be vigilant; quite the opposite, we should be aware of the gradual slip to authoritarianism at the hands of populist right-wing demagoguery.
Well said.
What's your take on Japanese fascism?
As a German I think that exactly because it is a slow process it is so difficult to fight. Because the public is basically gaslighted bit by bit to accept it. If those people would start with their end-goal, there would be way more resistance against it.
How do you feel about the three arrows logo?
Trump and Hitler literally come from the same town, Trump is Hitler's book of speeches _My New Order_ verbatim at his rallies. He has friends who greet him with a hail Zeus and click of the heels, his name in Gematria is _Messiah_ Baron is the same word as _Fuhrer_ denoting a Knight of the Holy Roman Empire.
Donald (King) John (the Baptist) Trump (G.O.A.T) was born during a Super Wolf Blood Moon 7 days before the Summer solstice under Orion the Mighty Hunter, 700 days before the founding of Israel. He was inaugurated on the Centenary of the Bolshevik revolution and the capture of Jerusalem aged 70yrs 7 months and 7 days, he moved the embassy to Jerusalem on israel's 70th anniversary and lives on the 66th floor of 666ft Trump tower with a giant mural of Zeus on his penthouse ceiling. Seig hail is the Greek salute to Zeus, or the Sun. His Tropical Sunsign is Gemini, the Twins, but his Siderial sign is Taurus, his starsign is Capricorn but is really Serpentis, the Serpent Bearer. Biden is a Scorpio, aka the Scorpion King, who stings Osiris' ankle, in order for Isis to resurrect him in the form of Serpentis 13th Sunsign of the Babylonian Zodiac. MAGA is latin for wizard, and Klan wizards burn the Phoenician Sun God Symbol in illumination ceremonies aka pyre rites or Holocaustis, meaning "burnt offering" just like the burning of effigies at Bohemian Grove in the Cremation of Care Ceremony.
The first form of the Bible, the Vaticanus Graecus was written around the same time as the Antikythera mechanism was built in 325BC. The name means Son of the Serpent, a reference to Hydra in Leo, and Fomalhaut in Aquarius, in the 3rd Century AD Astrologer Vettori Valentinus used the Vaticanus Graecus to construct a 13 cycle Lunar Zodiac. King Sigismund God King Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (who commisioned the Rosslyn Chapel) gave Count Dracuul his name in 1431, it means Order of the Dragon, and Dracula means Son of the Dragon, Chertoff means Son of the Devil in Russian. The original name of the Templars was the Great Brotherhood of the White Serpent, and the Essenes were dedicated to interpreting the Mysteries of Pythagoras, whose name means Heart of the Serpent, a reference to Alphard in Hydra, called the Vermilion Dragon by the Chinese, the Constellation associated with the Phoenix, who appears on the Eastern Horizon at Xmas, when Osiris is at it's Zenith. Next to Orion is Pleiades, in the center of which is Alcyone, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac.
Trump shares his birthday with Osiris, St John, Aleister Crowley, and Aushwitz, and 14 days before his coup attempt Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus shared a Great Conjunction in Aquarius, the brightest since it happened in Virgo, Beth Elam, House of Bread or Fruit in 7BC. He also watched an Annular eclipse on his birthday halfway through his first term. Israel is the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra, Serpentis, or Eschmun, the Widow's Scion, Phoenician God of Healing, who became Apollo, Zeus of the Cave, a reference to Serpentis, which is shaped like a cave, and whose Scion was Asclepius, from whom we get the Caduceus. And before Eschmun it was Enoch, Hermes, and Thoth, who is the Son of Set, or Typhon.
The Cave of Apollo in Cilicia and Delphi is also the home of Typhon, Tphens or Zaphon, the 100 Headed God, Hydra takes up 100 degrees of the Zodiac. It was Hermes Trismegistus who placed his Emerald Tablets inside the Arc of the Covenant, buried beneath pillars of Emerald and Gold. Those Pillars can only be found at the Temple of Melqart, in Tyre, which means Rock, and sits offshore of Urshu Shalom, City of the New Moon, the root word of Jerusalem. It is the first New Moon in September that marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Phoenician, Jewish, Assyrian and Celtic New Year, marking the start and end of the Zodiac, the Alpha Aleph, being Taurus and Pleiades and the Omega, Isis. Between these sits Sirius, aka Thoth, from which the Syrians take their name. The Temple was built when Rameses II married Jezebel, the Hittite Princess from Sidon, which means Kingdom of the Fish, the Phoenician Symbol for fish is X, which became the Chi Rho, and later the Latin Exe. She was the Daughter of Hiram, who built the Tower of Babel for Pharoah, in order to meet the God of Moses. This marriage in 911BC marked the founding of the Neo Assyrian Empire. Their Son is Eshmun, the God of Healing, aka Baal, or Lord, Pan is the Slavic word for Lord. The Grotto of Pan can be found at Mt Hermon, which was considered a Grove, and where the head of Goliath is buried. Israel is currently building a Temple to Trump at the summit. Another name for Enoch is El Ashmunein.
The Catholic Jesus is based on Melqart and Hercules, Tammuz, Apollo, his best analogy though is Dionysus, God of Wine, born to Zeus and Persophenes, who sits atop the Capitol building in DC, she's the wife of Hades/Zeus in the form of a Serpent, and Goddess of War, Pain Suffering and Death, aka Isis, Athena, Sekhmet, Kali, Kybele, Gebal, Gabriel, Mary. Her mother is Demeter, Goddess of Grain. Holodomor means pain offering, just like in Georgia in 33 under Stalin. 2021 marks 33 years to 2054, the 1000th anniversary of the Schism of Rome, when global average temperatures are set to hit plus 5 degrees celcius, at plus 2 we can't grow grain at scale and 9 billion people will lose 90% of their food supply.

It will never not be maddening and insanity inducing: that we have the historical context to know exactly where we're headed, but not the self-awareness to care, acknowledge, or do anything about it. Many will piss and shit themselves at the mere mention of the rise of fascism in the U.S., will outright laugh at people pointing out the parallels between what is happening in the states currently and the circumstances that led to the nazis taking power.
Sort of feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone, except it's the reality in which many of us are currently having to live in.
Gramsci - "The pessimism of the intellect and optimism of the will." We see how hard our path is to freedom but we are willing to fight for it. Many things historically seemed doomed but the will of the people saved history. Never give up but don't be delusioned that the path will be easy
If you think we have the historical context to "know exactly where we're headed", then you're overlooking a few big points Three Arrows made in this video. Not being able to predict the future is a pretty basic tenant of history.
You Three Arrows Gang are wild. But as a Marxist Leninist Tankie I just to say if you want to end Fascism you have to change the base mode of production to Socialism.
Fascism is a part of the Superstructure. Things like Schools, Churches, The Press. Society. A Society will always become increasingly Fascist as long as Capitalism is the base mode of production. Fascism is the highest stage of Capitalism.
You can’t change and maintain the Superstructure till you shape and maintain The Base.

Voting against self interest is like one of the island studs getting an erection. They both know this one act is detrimental to their futures and all they have worked for, but there just isn't enough blood in the brain while maintaining an erection or getting caught up in the war on Christmas or one teenage trans girl in middle America winning a swim meet.

But there was still possibility that they could be voted out in elections next year. However due to the War in Ukraine, people will get behind that government. Especially since they decided to increase Military spending etc. The problem is that even I agree with them on those 2 things. We need to support Ukraine as much as possible and we need better army. However on that second point they are only doing flashy stuff. They don't spend money wisely. They throw it away for increase of capabilities in 1 specialty for 10 or more times the cost it would take if it was done smartly. Their plans to have 300.000 strong Military are.... weird. We have problems with maintaining numbers in current army - and now we would have to expand it by more than 100%? Ridiculous.
But that makes them popular. Problem is that people either love them or hate them. Same with other parties. And the left in Poland as usual is divided and from time to time they also suggest some ridiculous things. Center is almost non-existent at this point. You have parties that are center-right and center-left in theory, but in reality those are only less fringe options. PO (previous government, before 2015) had a lot of issues, but they were right-wing light and even had some centrists.
And current government tried taking over the power, when they ruled in 2005-2007, but were ousted in elections, because people turned out to vote in droves against them. But back then they didn't manage to take over media completely. And they didn't hijack judiciary. They've learned their lesson sadly.
Poland will become like Turkey.
I wrote about Poland and the US in my BA thesis a few years back, relating to abortion and women's rights. I was genuinely shocked about some of the things I came accross, the ways in which the Polish government seeks to undermine very fundamental rights and legislation. I truly hope "we" can turn this around.

As an American I am desperately learning German to get the fuck out of here.

That's horrifying. It wouldn't be a third rate power like Germany - it'd be the largest economy in the world - the *preeminent* military hyperpower.
@@castor9683 I was thinking the same, how do we stop them, cant rely on russia this time either
Listening to someone like Steve Bannon... there are others... you can sense the joy and motivation they have at undermining the state legally, and via its own institutions. They feel especially clever when their political enemies are restrained by institutions he does not respect, and all watching know that.
Philosophy Tube did a video on Steve Bannon, where he created a character called The Arsonist, whose monologue gave all the reasons why people like Bannon exist. And they want to burn those institutions down to the ground because they hate things being the way they are. They feel entitled to do so, because they are afraid of becoming irrelevant, and as capitalism is lurching from crisis to crisis, they're right to be scared. So, they need to break up the established order so that they can retain control.
It's the difference between a process vs. outcome thinking.
At least it seems like Steve Bannon's mere existence has taken a severe physical toll on him. Dude looks like he's rotting alive.

I always enjoy your videos. I’m a Black American female. One of my many concerns is that some of our white brethren tend to ignore issues that only affect us. They seem to perform elaborate mental gymnastics to explain away any issue as self-inflicted or a personal failure and so the fight or solution does not involve them. Even issues that will clearly reach them eventually are kinda ignored and not discussed for fear of feeling uncomfortable. My wish is that they would see the bigger picture of how an injustice to us is like a canary in a coal mine. You stamp it out before it gets bigger. Some examples of this include the opioid crisis, teen pregnancy and police brutality. But this also applies to Gerrymandering, which will eventually reach areas of consequence if bad people are allowed to continue unchecked.
As a white american male, I completely agree. I think a lot of privileged people will advocate for social justice, but they always push back at any idea of progressive economics, completely ignoring that the economic inequalities in the U.S. are a main reason why these issues are problems to begin with. Many people see the problem getting bigger, and instead of replacing parts of the system, we just want to add bandaids to it, expecting that it won’t completely fall apart.

This is fascinating. The open question of whether Democrats will step up and do what's needed is, I think, already answered by the fact that they are completely dependent on corporate interests. They would rather become a moderate dissenting party with no power under Republican/fascist rule than risk rocking the boat with corporations by pushing the interests of citizens.
You talking about the same party that created the very mess the USA is currently suffering?? I do find it funny Dan here is talking about "democracy" yet ignores the fact the USA is not a democracy and he ignores the lack the democracy in his own nation especially on the refugee and EU question.

That is a good thought.
But in that case the military would have to be pretty much neutral, right? I don't think the US military eill do that. They will either split and then you have a real civil war or they will all support fascism.
Yep. Luckily, the GOP keeps coming down on the side of issues that matter to various groups, like veterans, that _should_ keep them militarily and law enforcement-wise weak. This whole FBI clapback included. I'm not a huge fan of law enforcement, but I feel like they're still trying to do the decent thing in many instances now. The school shootings and lack of action, for me, are one of the worst indicators as to where the country is. But you have to go after corruption in government; you can't just let the money run through and gut everything.

Rewatching this after the recent supreme court decision on presidential immunity. The Supreme court is still at it
Update on th US Supreme Court: the court overturned the Chevron ruling. Now large corporations can contest a ruling against them from regulatory agencies like the EPA in court. Since regulatory agencies do not have the resources (people) to fight the armies of lawyers that corporations will bring to trials, the agencies will become toothless. Also the courts will now determine outcomes of regulations instead of experts in the agencies (people with education in technical fields).
So a US citizen or company should never be able to challenge a government agencies decision or rules? Also, the US government has plenty of resources to defend itself in court.

Two years ago this was posted and today this is our reality.
The Weimar moment in the US is already over
The US did face a similar problem with judges as Weimar did after WWI, where pro-Confederate judges remained on the bench during and after reconstruction in the 1860s. These judges blocked state actions against Confederate terrorists who assassinated Black elected officials (eg what happened with Republican Governor Holden of North Carolina).
And many of these Confederate judges and other government officials were never removed and instead passed their ideology down to their successors. It is truly terrifying how long their reach goes over time
I’ve only become aware of this fact recently. It’s kind of interesting/disturbing how this piece of history is so easily forgotten or not even really given gravitas. This is a direct cause to the effect that is modern America. America allowed confederates and nazis to keep their spaces in this country, and so naturally these two destructive, white-centric ideas, have coalesced into an abomination of festering hatred.
This is a country that was built by white people for white people.

this is internally contradictory. if you admit that history "rhymes" then you are saying that you can find similarities. Which means you can compare.

It's especially weird, that the supreme court holds so much influence, that everybody knows the names of the supreme justices and everything about them. I don't know anybody in the german constitutional court by name, or anything about them. Generally speaking, they have a more passive role, with their main focus being on reviewing the constitutionality of laws being passed and giving their statements and possible adjustments to fix potentially risque laws. They're also not in their position for life. I think they serve 12 year terms, they have (I think) a maximum of 2 terms and an age limit, they must not exceed. Also, our chancellor doesn't get to choose the judges, but (I think) that gets sort of rotated between our parliament and the representative body of our states (they are chosen by state parliaments and not elected). But the corresponding other branch of the legislative also has to agree (or something like that, I'm not entirely sure tbh and I thin I would have to look up all the details)

Bro had a vision
Everyone (including me) likes the flashy bits of history, the speeches, the riots, the revolutions etc., but we often forget how important the underlying processes are. By the time the flashy bits happen, a million quiet boring things happened that lead to that moment. I experience this in my own country as well. I'm from Russia, and things like taking over the Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine were all huge moments, but there was a million small things happening before that. A great analogy I heard was the frog in the bucket - in order to cook a frog you don't need to blast them with boiling water right away, you just slowly raise the temperature, and the frog won't notice until it's dead. We had a government formed after a messy crash of a dictatorship, and even though most people in power were not that democratically inclined, there was still hope in politics, there was real opposition, but it slowly but surely got crushed. If you look at Russia 15 years ago and now it's a huge difference, now any opposing political thought gets destroyed by police searches, jail time for likes on a post, massive fines that destroy people's lives, and all it took was 15-20 years of quietly passing laws, appointing judges, faking election results and boom - now if someone gets prison time for holding up a piece of paper that says 'no to war' it's perfectly legal within our system.
TLDR: Shit sucks, man. Слава Україні!

I keep telling my friends that there is a very real possibility of America falling to fascism in the near future, and neither of them seem to believe me. Maybe this video will help me convince them! Considering one is black and one is gay, they really need to be taking this situation seriously.
I do think it's more on what side the fascism will come from. Either from alt right populance or governmental.
I'm so worried for young people who don't remember what it's like to live in a rigidly WASP world. It's even worse than you imagine.
Hell given facist regime were this weird version of the past, image not only living in a WASP society, but having those weird facist ideas of it.
Hope so.
I predicted where things were heading the day the Tea Party debuted on Fox News. It was obvious conservatives would lose control of that beast sooner or later and fascists would take over. Ever since then it's been steadily downhill, I don't understand how some people still don't see it this late in the game.
Damn, prophetic.
Thanks for the heads up in Moore vs Harper. If the SC rules that State legislatures can do such things I will actually look in to moving. I know people say this a lot as hyperbole, but once states can literally ignore the will of the people, there is nothing left but slow decay of the republic to either war or authoritarianism.
Listen, if you're going to move out of country you need to get the process started now. I'm looking at potentially years to get into Canada IF they let me in. You need to have money or a job in a certain sector of the economy for most governments to want you. For Canada I have to take an expensive English language test even though I'm a native speaker. Additionally, it can take a few months just to get a passport.
This immigrating thing is no joke. If you're serious, start now so you can be out by the time everything goes to complete shit in 10-20 years.
@@ryno4ever433I think that is the downside of creating a world where the upper middle class gets to agree only the upper middle class can stay mobile.
I love the point about how the beer hall putsch wasn't what started fascism since, at least as best as I can remember from my underfunded American public high school education, that's kinda how we learned it in school. Out of no where, Mr. Scary Man came in and used his magic evil powers to start WWII. Ok obviously that's a bit of an exaggeration, but truthfully the beer hall putsch and Reichstag fire were all we were taught in our history classes before starting the chapter on WWII. And I think that lends itself to a particularly strange way we talk about politics in general, at least here in contemporary America. That being the constant tendency to lean heavily into magical thinking.
I think that's why Jan 6 captured people's attention more than the constant stream of supreme court travesties rolling out for the last decade. The US Constitution is another great example where magical thinking is at play. I often jokely call the constitution "the third testament" since so many people treat the document like they're in some Christian Evangelical bible study and not basic legal studies. It's absolute insanity. I think it's partially to blame for how misinformation has become so rampant. The truth doesn't matter, only your "beliefs" matter in the "market place of free speech." It's a sort of mindset I find to be incredibly dangerous; it's how the republicans justify rolling back human rights and how the democrats sit on their hands while telling themselves that American institutions will magically save them
I think comparing the Beer Hall Putch to the 6th is valid, but people need to remember that it is more of a benchmark for the progression of fascism than a cause (and a warning to not under respond just because it was riddled with incompetence, as they usually regroup and try again if given the room to).
the vatican started fascism and invented xenophobia.
29th May 2020 insurrection never forget! Radical leftists torched DC and forced Trump into a bunker!
@@donHooligan Fascism was invented by Gentile and Mussolini. Get real.
The whole "beliefs and feelings" ride we're on is being steered strongly by both parties, and people are too tied up in petty partisan warfare to see it. :(
Congratulations, you're a prophet
Well, we can’t say we were not warned repeatedly
My god this is aging well.
Came back here for the same reason unfortunately
noooooo democracy has fallen billions must die 😱😱
WELL WELL WELL!!!!!!!!!!!
If this video only knew Project 2025 was being created. I would think this video needs a follow up.
For what lol.... the people who made project 2025 also made a website.... it isn't exactly a secret
People worried about Project 2025 are probably degenerates.
The 2025 project was known for years
Project 2025 is the most hilarious bogey man
@@MattieK09so good
And how right you were!😮😢
Welp. We're here boys.
Whose fighting ? ✊
No one
@dean_l33 wrong. I have a group of 50 people already lmao. Push good people too far see what happens. Right now we're focused on local politics and support networking.
@@Ouroboros_FuFu glhf and make sure to clean up after your larp session is done
@dean_l33 you think you're tough for joking about things millions of Americans with families and lives are legitimately concerned about?. You sound like a incel
Own the libs dude make your dad proud.
@@Ouroboros_FuFu you make fun, but 50 how is 50 dudes with shotguns anything other than self comforting larping? Honestly, you guys are gonna fight the cops?
Then theres the reality. If he was some ultrafascist superhitler why oh why didnt he do his fascist takeover the first time he was elected?
So wish I wasn't too poor to join the patreon. Absolutely love your content. Knowing history is the best way to keep it From repeating.
Some of us aren't just posting online to feel better.
Some of us are beaten down and it's all we've got in us. It's better than nothing and I have personally witnessed people on forums go from posting right wing fascist bullshit to moving significantly to the left.
Yeah I know it's nowhere is near left enough for anyone on this channel let alone the channel owner.
But it's like Beau of the fifth column says, do as much as you can whenever you can for as long as you can
You can't do much if you are in prison or dead. So, do what you can within the limits afforded to you. Survival of the ideas is key.
Well said
Posting online is pointless. It's like yelling into an airplane engine. You cannot stop a scorpion from stinging you by asking it politely.
You stomp the scorpion to death.
All posting online does is make you feel like you've done something so you can smugly go back to watching whatever baking show you watch. If you don't believe in something enough to die for it, stop pretending that you do.
All the greatest people in history died for their causes. Don't pretend you're close to them.
No. Screw that doomer nonsense. Time for nonviolent confrontation. Ghandi, MLK, and the Act Up protestors of the AIDS crisis would want us to fight back with stubborn, nonviolent resistance.
We don't need a guiding messiah figure, or any special education. We just need numbers and a willingness to risk a few days in jail.
The path is clear.
@@anjetto1 did you just tell him to kill himself
The algoritm knows. The moment is here.
I think you’re mostly spot on, but I do think you’re drastically underestimating how many Americans are just out right authoritarian and have completely given up on democracy.
Yeah, this video is built on the hypothesis that Americans are good people who don't want to live in a theocracy.
But it's wrong, because I've lived here for 20 years and white yanks are a single afternoon away from ditching their klan hoods and jumping into an SS uniform. They don't do anything about fascism because they all WANT fascism.
I just want a government like China has. Is that too much to ask for?
@@jarekkish5515 yes. yes it is
