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.

    The funny thing is it seems most commentors in this post are civilians.

    I am a state employee, and I am keenly aware of my role in reinforcing the state mechanisms.

    My work directly supports and maintains a small subsection of gears of this overall system.

    I get paid in taxpayer money, I have the capability of living a “middle class” life.

    I donate some of my earnings to charities and fundraisers for various undisclosed civil rights and activists.

    I love doing the contents of my work, And I enjoy the knowledge that my work contributes to a better experience for civilians in my state.

    But I am keenly aware that I am reinforcing the gears even if the work I do has little association to any detrimental effects to the people.

    I am at the bottom of the ladder, following orders, providing services to improve the experience for civilians, reinforcing the gears.

    I do it for the paycheck.

    I am complicit in that regards.

    All statements and opinions in this post are not reflective of my employer.

      It really depends what a person actually does for the state, at what level of government they operate. Especially in a country as large as the US. Many states are larger than European nations, and have larger GDPs. If you work for the state level Department of Environmental Protection in Vermont, you’re not exactly contributing to the same “machine” that’s killing the Republic

      Should we thank you for thousands of cops deaths and ICE deaths committed each year that you loved collaborating in the homocidesqualified immunity of your state?
