it is so fucking wildly disturbing. Although also exactly what I would expect from these people. Because these are the assholes I grew up with in West Texas, but they never left. They cried when I beat them in the spelling bee and then mercilessly made fun of me. They are cowardly, sad people with no self confidence and a shoulder that doesn't have room for any more chips.

Anyway, I'm working hard so they will eventually get what's coming to them.

@lorry I am reminded of people who take selfies of themselves with the Auschwitz death camp in the background.

@Cliftographer Aye, but at least they didn't send the photos to all of the world's press associations.

At least those tourists aren't partly responsible for the people who were incarcerated there. 🤮

@lorry The circumstances are very different than in 1942. We are at the edge of ecological collapse and the plutocrats are well aware, have been

And just in general its a good idea to remember how many nuclear weapons not just exist but are ready to use compared to 1942

Sorry, thermonuclear weapons, the kind that make the ones dropped on Japan seem quaint

His two thumb pose is a copy of one the soldiers did in the Iraqi prisoner abuse photos isn't it?

@monkeyben Sadly yes - And that was used at their trials too.

@lorry Tbf, Hitler didn't have SocMed. Jong Un, is into skiting about weapons, not prisoners. Trumpsters are filth, like the #TangerineTurd

@Tooden They had Goebbels and Speer, and lots of hungry international press agencies - I am sure if they'd thought it advantageous, they'd have put it out there.

Apparent Agent Orange's people think it's to their advantage and aren't expecting any Nuremberg-like trials.

Hugs4friends ♾🇺🇦 🇵🇸😷6d ago

@lorry Not at all the same as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok. Phone that take selfies that can be instantly loaded onto a program with International coverage.
There may well be Box Brownie pics of German soldiers proudly standing in front of gaunt prisoners destined for gas chambers.
But, the Republicans clearly don't see consequences in their future. Why should they? You have a convicted felon and rapist in the Oval Office, put there by the people.

Andreas K 5d ago

@Tooden
Actually, more important, they have a relatively safe ultra conservative majority on SCOTUS for the next 30+ years, and they don't envision a world where non US authorities might touch them.

But I've got a surprise for the idiots. When the influence and power of the US drops, these kinds of crimes are exactly where extra territorial prosecution often applies if the primary countries refuse to prosecute the crime.

As some retired South American dictators have found out.

@lorry
They actually did hide it.

Up to the end the final solution was a bit too much for the sensitivities of the common German.

The Nazis literally invented the gas chambers at their extermination camps for efficiency and to protect the mental health of German soldiers who didn't take mass killing well. Much easier to drop a capsule off Zyklon B into the gas chamber and have other inmates cremate the bodies.

@lorry The world doesn't view this as a Republican issue but as an American issue. Mind you, it was the same in the 1940s. The Allies declared war on Germany, not Hitler and his party.

For better or worse, not everyone is ready to go to war against the U.S.

@adrianmorales A war doesn't have to be a hot one, though.

@lorry @adrianmorales sanctions vs republican politicians & the corporations that underwrite them would be a nice start.

@lorry ”look at what we are willing to do” seems to be the message. Just like with the tarrifs, blocking aid to Ukraine and so much more… Effective diplomacy, until everyone knows your tactic.

Brian Repko 6d ago

@lorry if we are at war (alien enemies act), then publishing these pictures are a war crime. Each of these reps should be brought up to the house ethics committee (or worse). Call Speaker Johnson and have him stop this.

@brianrepko Humm, interesting slant. If only there were thousands of pissed off #Harvard #lawyers wanting to make a point waiting in the wings.

@lorry
I'm (German) no longer following news in the USA closely. I know exactly what will happen since the day that facist won the election. The USA is a too strong country for anyone outside being able to help. For me to know if they first come for Hispanics, Blacks, trans, gays or Hillary, doesn't matter. They will come for all of them.
@MargaXeyat

@lostgen @lorry Why am I being mentioned in that context?

@MargaXeyat
no idea. Maybe because i answered to a retoot of yours.
@lorry

@lostgen @lorry But it's unusual to always mention a person that just retooted an article or something. This is already for the second time you do that. I don't want that, please, stop acting like that. Thank you.

@MargaXeyat
It's a feature by @apps probably. i can have a look. I'm using this since three years, you are the first to take offense in this.

@lostgen @apps There is also another guy here who does this, nice person btw but that behavior I don' t appreciate at all.

@MargaXeyat
There appears no setting to disable that. Hence i will have to remember to remove it manually.
@apps

@lostgen @apps Thank you so much 🙏🏼

@lorry
The original NAZI were aware that the population would not support concentration camps so that they tried to downplay them.
They never boasted with them, sometimes mentioning them as necessary evil.
Later claimed them camps for POW and foreign workforce.
Trumpists not only have no dignity, they also believe that the dignity of the US voters is so low that GOP will profit from boasting with their evil.
So sad!

Cabbidges 6d ago

@lorry
Because it's meant to frighten everyone, and they want it out there as much as possible in order to do that.
If an image I believe is intended to frighten is on my timeline already and often, I decline to spread and amplify it more. We're already scared enough.

RejZoR 6d ago

@lorry Nazis documented everything and they were proud of it. They were so convinced they'd win and everything documented would be some sort of statement and proof they could proudly show off for years to come. Just to bite them in the ass when they were trialed.
