    Man, this is such a naive take. The Nazis are specifically going out of their way to mainstream their beliefs and political ideas, and it’s working like gangbusters. They e made massive strides in the last decade alone compared to where they were in the early teens.

    The Nazis would never contribute anything of value

    They may not contribute anything that YOU value, but they’re contributing their OWN values to the culture, and until tides turn, they’re currently on top and are a dominant force on culture.

    I’m really hopeful the republicans pull their head out of their Nazi asshole before they get sucked into it like it’s a singularity. But they’re currently goose-stepping with the jackbooted thugs, so I’m not super hopeful in the near future.

      Nazis are scary, but seeing liberals stand by and do nothing is infuriating. Their weak wills in the face of the bullshit oligarchs push is how we got here in the first place. The very techbro capitalists who push AI are responsible for all of this, so normies going along with it drives me up a wall. I gave up on Republicans long ago and hold out no hope that they’ll do the right thing, but I’ve only recently lost hope in liberals defending the things they claimed to care about.

        Oh, don’t get me wrong, I fucking hate how many people are just watching shit burn. But that’s not a reason to give in and let the fires get bigger, that’s no better than the people who stand by and do nothing.

        So many on here want to burn the system down, regardless of the people who will be caught in the fire be they assume their side will come out on top in the end. And if we can learn anything from history, it’s most likely not going to be the people who want what’s best for the citizens running the show if that happens.
