The West used to remove dictators like Saddam Hussein, who put their face on government buildings.

Now CNN's Hannah Rabinowitz has posted this photo of the US Department of Justice.

@randahl

Is that his arrest mugshot? If so, it fits right in..

@adavid It is not. This is an official White House photo I believe.

@randahl

I can squint and still believe :D

@randahl Well, if the trajectory is moving toward "hang him from the side of the building" then I'd say it's heading in the right direction.
@phil_stevens let us be on the right side where we do not hang people.

@randahl hanging traitors is fine.

we can have a trial first, but this is a part of our statute law.

@randahl @phil_stevens

I do not wish him hung.

I wish him a very long life. In prison.

The only time I ever want to hear his name again is alongside the words "denied parole, again" and "died in prison".

@randahl Was MASA a deliberate choice?
@randahl roflmao about "the iraq war was the pinnacle of western civilization"

@montaagge I never claimed the Iraq war was "the pinnacle of western civilization". Those were your words. Not mine.

This is the straw man fallacy. It occurs when someone misrepresents, exaggerates, or fabricates an opponent's argument to make it easier to attack. By focusing on this weaker "straw man" version, the speaker avoids engaging with the actual, more nuanced argument.

@randahl Like a horrible gargoyle looking down on everyone
@randahl The fox in the henhouse.
@hyevans @randahl They are all the same person.
@collectifission all of those were dead when the monument was created, so none of them were able to fight it. It's a different quality entirely @hyevans @randahl

@herzmut just like Lenin was dead before he was deified? Yet, he’s used as an example.

@hyevans @randahl

@collectifission likely a mistake. Stalin would have been a better choice for that context @hyevans @randahl
@hyevans @randahl Wrong Ok for AH nand DT But VIL and MT was against oppression. After MT was bad and VIL was killed by the fucking JS.

@hyevans @randahl Nick Fuentes has gone on record saying that "Hitler was cool" & this is exactly what he & all the other Nazi assholes mean by that.

They fucking LOVE! the dictator "aesthetic" of emblazoning some asshole's big fat face on the side of a building next to a flag. These comparisons don't shame them in the slightest - if anything the opposite.

As for sharing these things with the general public, many of them also don't know what the problem is, so don't forget context.

@hyevans
#Alt4You Four historical pictures of buildings, each with a huge portrait and a flag. Portrayed are Hitler, Lenin, Trump, Mao

@notsoloud @hyevans
sie haben NICHTS gelernt.
Das ist das erschreckende. Geschichte passiert doch, damit man den Fehler nicht erneut machen muss ...

Sie sind so auf ihren starken Mann fixiert, der alles regeln wird, dass sie nicht mehr zu erreichen sind für die Folgen.
Du hättest noch ein Plakat von Bernd Höcke dazu nehmen können. Es gibt bestimmt Parteiveranstaltungen, bei denen er in Fassadengröße rumhängt

@[email protected] @[email protected] you two take a stance against placards of leaders' faces regardless of context or substance? It is politically incoherent and irrelevant

@devan

no comment needed

@hyevans @randahl Fascists sure do love to look at themselves

@randahl And Justice for All*

* who can afford the bribe

@randahl So, another building named after a Kennedy he has to put his name on. How peculiar.
@randahl
Big Brother is watching you!

@randahl
Trump is a symptom. We’re lucky he’s incompetent. America has a chance to make it a big warning to last 100 years or it could be their new king.

It’s up to the USA.

@randahl What does it say?
"Make America
hate again"?
That's what it looks like.

Picture of the Fuhrer…

@randahl Always first sign for authoritarian regimes or fascism.
The cult to one person has never been something healthy for societies.
