    Well, when it comes to government, "Extortion" has always been the name of the game.

    “What if the problem is not bribery … but extortion? What if the Permanent Political Class in Washington, made up of individuals from both political parties is using its coercive public power to not only stay in office but to threaten others, and to extract wealth, and in the bargain pick up private benefits for themselves, Their friends and their families?” EXTORTION, "How Politicians Extract Your money, Buy Votes, And Line Their Own Pockets, Peter Schweizer, HMO, NY, NY, 2013, p. 2.

    DJT was a radical leader who radicalised insurrection against his own government.

    DP and RP justly removed him from power.

    I've learned more about nazi symbolism from the left's accusation of the right than from college WW2 classes, the history channel and youtube documentaries combined. Tis a fascinating subject to be sure... but how did they become such experts?

    I mean WW2 history is literally my favorite subject, and I have never seen that symbol before.

    It’s literally a Nazi symbol. No rorschach test required

    It is true that the DNC will never "tax the rich", who are their beloved elite donors. They will also never help the poor rise above poverty because independent working people are likely to become more conservative, whereas a total dependent on the social safety net is locked into the party that promises them everything even if they lie. They can be treated like dirt forever as far as the politicians are concerned.

    "Taxing the rich" definitely means having the rich, the powerful, the public-private corporate elites and politicos protect their "superior" caste system, and extort the last drips of money and wealth out of the "middle" working American.

    Trump woke people up. Biden's globalist/elitist policies will wake up more people. Time is short to turn things around for a return to a healthy American middle-class, but it isn't too late.

    First, "Republicans" do not fly Nazi banners at there events. Neither do Conservatives. :icon_picknose:

    On the rise of the Nazis in Germany, there is good reason to debate whether that was attributable to left-wing or right-wing ideology. Certainly, Hitler's initial rhetoric was extremely Socialist in nature, although he was insincere about his true motivations and intentions, which were to have a racial-nationalist "supreme" nation state. What got the votes and placed him in power initially though was indeed Socialist propaganda. Socialist propaganda always sells well to the naive and unwitting.

    As Hitler gained power, it became more clear that he was falsely making the Jews the "evil enemy" only because of their ancestry, and only so that he could grab totalitarian control. Eventually, surrounding by an literal army of loyalists, he not only killed Jews, but also any and all political dissidents, including Socials and Communists. What started as flowery Socialism, ended with brutal Fascism.

    That would be a similar tactic to, say, one party in America which was hypothetically seeking total authoritarian power saying that all political opponents were "White Supremacists" (equivalent propaganda to unfairly demonizing the Jews in Nazi Germany), having corporate partners telling people to "Be Less White", intentionally raising the political prestige of one race over another, or censoring and deleting the voices of opposition from the public square, and burning or banning their books.

    But that could never happen here.

    I haven’t either! I found it interesting as a concept (also the strange design of that stage) and the similarities between the two. You can learn new things from everywhere.

    I have seen quite a few Nazi flags and Nazi slogans at trump rallies and conservative led events / protests. Who do you think these people are?

    Oh, so now you want to pretend to be 'coy'...? You're 'playing checkers with chess players' if you think you're inventing "Nazis" out of anybody at CPAC with this kind of shallow, transparent crap....

    Done with this POS thread....

    Oh ffs! The Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Aryan Nation, Boogaloo Boys, if the even attend CPAC, won't be wearing their emblems. They aren't that stupid. You should know better than that.

    Laugh all you want, but if you look at my first post on this page, you'll know I'm unconvinced. Rude of you to reply to me with tjat generalization.

    Bullshit. Liberals want Muslims, Jews, Christian, Buddhists, and any other to know that they are included, which is why most minorities lean left.

    In fact, Hitler was an atheist and very anti-Christian for rather obvious reasons.

    Yes, guns were banned by the very liberal Weimar government. The Nazis were very popular in Germany during Hitlers rise to power. Nazi gun laws permitted party members and others deemed reliable to own guns.

    They forgot their firearms. Very dangerous, those unarmed "insurrectionist"!

    They did have arms though, and legs, like most humans. LOL

    It works quite well in:

    Denmark
    Norway
    Sweden

    ... well, hell ... here's a freaking list:

    https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/democratic-socialist-countries

    "A democratic socialist believes that the government should provide a range of essential services to the public for free or at a significant discount, such as health care and education. Unlike socialists, democratic socialists do not believe the government should control all aspects of the [government], only help provide basic needs and help all of its citizens have an equal chance of success."

    I sure wish righties would actually research democratic socialism instead of posting right wing rhetoric about it, but that would require two things:

    1. The ability to read and comprehend something besides the crap on social media and alt-right web sites.

    2. An actual desire for facts and truth.

    Sorry if all of that sounds a little snarky, but I get so disgusted when people who seem to posess some intellect do nothing but regurgitate bullshit. I refer you to line two of my signature.

    Some other sources that I'm sure the left will soon be demonizing for their 'Nazi' symbolism for using this 3rd-8th century proto-Germanic and Anglo-Saxon writing are:

    Odinists, Asatruar and other such followers of Wotanism who make use of their ancient ancestral epigraphy

    The Shadowhunters film where a character has a tattoo of this symbol

    The musical groups Agalloch and Wardruna, who both used this rune in album discography

    The television show Sleepy Hollow

    Next up- the Punisher Skull, which must surely be an SS 'Deaths Head'...

    Can you highlight where I have shown to be “upset”. I’ll wait while you regurgitate the only retort you know: “do my own research”.
