Nina spitting truths as always. She’s on fire recently, so follow her if you’re not doing so already.

To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.

So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.

Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let’s refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.

We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says “the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed.”

“They’ll just find someone else.”

Then let them. “I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else” was not a good defense in court last time, and it won’t be this time either.

    Tbh I don’t think Americans can escape being Nazis just by disassociating with the government. This shit runs way deeper than that. Okay, studying infectious diseases at the CDC or fighting fires with the Forestry Service makes you a Nazi now but quitting and getting a job at Nestle bottling water or a job in computer science at Meta somehow makes a difference? What about private prison guards or Christian missionaries?

    Virtually all Americans are Nazis and it’s been this way since before the Nazis first copied American styles. Speaking as an American the corporate stooges here are far more full throated and blood thirsty fascists than many of their government counterparts. Afterall the American government perpetrates it’s crimes on behalf of American capital and American capital sponsors it’s government’s crimes.

    You’re letting the whole country of fascists off way too easy when you reduce it to, “government=Nazi, quit now”

    Americans cannot escape being Nazis just by changing jobs. Americans cannot escape being Nazis just by changing their source of income. I don’t even know if overthrowing the government would be enough to cleanse Americans of the Nazi label without serious reparations to the global south and land back to American indigenous people. It will be a generational struggle to wash the stench of Nazism from this land. Turning in your two weeks working at the USPS delivering mail changes absolutely nothing.

      Cool, since I can’t do anything about where I was born, I’ll just go ahead and support the regime.

      You people are either brain dead or doing a bit that stopped being funny ages ago.

          That’s a really charitable interpretation.

          I think they’re conflating Nazi with Fascist, Capitalist, Corruption, etc. When merely buying a water or paying rent makes you a Nazi, there is no productive conversation to have.

            Depends how you source housing & water. Housing should have been free 200 years ago, and water free.
            But 🇺🇲 wants to steal everywhere, including it’s citizens.
            Now that Blackrock & Vanguard own everything, paying rent to corporate landlords and water monopolies is fascist support.
