In honor of June 6, International Antifa Day.
@SteveBellovin I hear Hegseth is rooting for the other site.
@oclsc @SteveBellovin Or he thinks he doesn't want this brand of wokeness in our military. We need to be focused on lethality, not a larger ideological mission, especially not one based on the woke ideas of 17th and 18th century philosophers. The more I think about it, he might actually root for the other side.
@cgervasi @SteveBellovin Nah. He's just a wannabee Nazi.

Gentlemen, here is a logo that my daughter who is a graphic designer produced for the likes of us. 😎 @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa
@bert_hubert
@TrueNorthSpice he was addressing the previous posters, but the general club is open for all. I guess you'll find something like this anywhere in any country that needs them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omas_gegen_Rechts
@harkank @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert
Omas gegen Rechts - Wikipedia

@TrueNorthSpice @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert

It was initially addressed to the three gentlemen here. Had not expected that this would go viral 😎

@harkank @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert

Your settings are on public.

edit: Not sure of the point of your reply.

@TrueNorthSpice
Toot was an answer in a thread by
@SteveBellovin with these fine gentlemen in CC

@Cdespinosa @bert_hubert

@harkank @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert

thanks s o much for explaining the obvious!

As was also "explained" by every "gentleman" in the cc.
You all are missing the point.

have a good one.

To keep a good ol' German meme pattern going
"Alt und tattrig, trotzdem da - engagierte Senioren Antifa"

There is "Omas gegen Rechts" for example, for those unaware that this is a thing in Germany.

@harkank @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert
@benroyce

@Tom_ofB @harkank @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert

"Old and frail, yet still there – committed senior Antifa members"

"Grannies Against the Right"

@benroyce the main point of the meme is that it must rhyme.

(something ironic) trotzdem da
(something something) Antifa

trotzdem da, meaning showing up in spite of whatever.

These often go with banger logos, I tried to find a link for you, but didn't find a good single source. image seaching "trotzdem da antifa" brings up a few. I forgot when we had the last thread in my bubble.

@harkank @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert

@harkank @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert Please, tell your daughter that I have already passed it to my friends!!! Very very nice!

Ladies and Gentlemen. As I can't post these file formats [ .EPS .SVG .AI] here, I packed all of these into this . ZIP file on my nextcloud. The initial German version [attached below] is included. It is derived from an anarchist slogan we used to chant in the late 70ies: "legal illegal scheissegal".

@harkank @SteveBellovin @Cdespinosa @bert_hubert My particular translation into spanish: Viejantifa. Legal o ilegal, vieje y radikal.

This logo appears to be designed for me, because yesterday I had to buy my first walking stick. And the logo is perfect for my nickname "la marica vieja" that means "the old faggot" XD

Hopefully your new walking stick is solid enough for "dual use" purposes 😎

@SteveBellovin Fuck fascists, bigots, white supremists, and all colonizers bullshit philosophies

@SteveBellovin

The reenactment is gonna be interesting.

@SteveBellovin
My grandfather actually did that, and I never heard him speak about it.

@SteveBellovin

I feel this need to be celebrated MORE AND MORE OFTEN WITH MORE POMP!

@SteveBellovin
"And we were shooting nazis, which was the style at the time"
@SteveBellovin Dont you know that the USSR was the country which really defeat fascism instead of the US which financed them, some American busness people financed the Nazis.
@elorti5 That story is far more complex. Yes, there was noticeable pro-Nazi sentiment in parts of the US and the UK. There was also considerable anti-Nazi sentiment in both countries, including by Churchill and Roosevelt. (And the US had a lot of isolationist sentiment, independent of pro-Nazi types. It is likely that Roosevelt would have entered the war sooner were it not for the isolationists, including in his own party—but the state of the US military was such that it was known in *1940* that a major attack on the European continent couldn't take place until 1944—and Stalin kept begging the US and the UK to launch a second front to reduce the pressure on his forces.) Yes, there USSR suffered far more casualties, and if Hitler hadn't decided to attack the USSR it's far from clear that D-Day could have succeeded. But the USSR and the UK benefited hugely from the output of American industry, and it's far from clear that either could have held out without that, especially once the US entered the war after Germany declared war on the US following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
This is a subject on which I've done a lot of reading—and as I said, it's quite complex. But you're certainly right that few people in the US understand the importance of the Soviet fight, or the losses they took.
How the Soviet Union helped save the world from Hitler during World War II | The Independent

'It was the Western Allies' extreme good fortune that the Russians, and not themselves, paid almost the entire 'butcher's bill' for defeating Nazi Germany'

The Independent
@elorti5 This particular viewpoint omits the entirety of the Pacific campaign, as well as most of what happened in North Africa.

It's called a "world war" for a reason. There were a lot of fascists all around the globe, defeated by many nations that all played a role.

@SteveBellovin
@elorti5 @SteveBellovin But didn't they help these fascist invade Poland. Didn't the USSR invade Finland earlier and lose badly. So they help set the house on fire and they want to claim they helped put this fire out.
@SteveBellovin Fascism is always a losing gambit thankfully. I think the losers are really scared of their impending doom. They should be.

@SteveBellovin My Uncle Alf landed there, toting a bazooka, fought his way across Europe destroying Nazis.

He was a conservative farmer, and would be absolutely furious with today's "conservatives" supporting Nazi fascism in the USA.

Thanks for the post.

Re-tooted this, which ironically may ensure I will not be able to enter the US under the current administration 🤪
