@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes every republican accusation is also a confession

It's almost like they've got a formula to follow.

They do.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes Jeez, I can't believe these unhinged people are allowed to become politicians!

@LT14GJC It doesn't take unhinged people; it just takes an authority figure telling them that fascism and eliminationism is not only okay, but a virtue. And then they'll march folks right into the ovens while laughing about it.

Elderly Nazis Laugh as They Recall Massacring Jews

In “Final Account,” late filmmaker Luke Holland confronts the last living generation of Germans in Hitler’s Third Reich. What he discovers is both shocking and terrifying.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes I can't understand how people can be so hateful. Seems like, as a world, we're going backwards!
@LT14GJC social progress is not, and never was, a given.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes @LT14GJC

they had a sort of sacrificial hero complex, which enabled the most monstrous deeds

not everyone had it in them to murder defenseless people - it was a mark of honor, a proof of belonging to the in-group to become a monster

"There were enough willing perpetrators so that coercive force could be reserved for those deemed enemies." -Dr. Doris Bergen

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes @LT14GJC Oh my god that is terrifying. I was well aware that they justified their actions at the time but it’s sickening they still feel that way deep down.
@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes
They got tired of using 1984 as an instructional manual so they've moved on to Farhenheit 451...

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes Oh, if that woman could be torching queer people instead of queer books, she 100% would be.

She's just aching for her chance to.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes catchy, but inaccurate. Do you think all of the factors that led to the rise of Nazi power in Germany following WWI are in place in the US today?
@skatterbrainz I think you can politely go fuck yourself
@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes The gop and their subversive genocide plans.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes

One difference is that in 1933 there was only the Duce in Italy as a role model, who was almost harmless compared to Hitler. Today, on the other hand, it is possible to look back not only at Hitler's empire, but also at Franco's Spain, Vichy's France, Quisling in Norway and other leaders such as Pinochet in Chile.

And thought to yourselves how ignorant and unaware those people must have been?

Well, look around.

Because the past is upon you."

@SearingTruth Like I told you on the other account f*ckstick, I ain't here for your fortune cookie wisdom or whatever scam ass cult shit you're trying to push. You're a fucking fraud and I can tell you're more than just a "little misunderstood." You are bullshit and you think you're smart enough to pull one over on me. You ain't.

Fuck off.
