Over Here

Conservatives look at this picture and see intolerant antifa extremists invading a peaceful conservative country because they have different political opinions.
- It’s right there in the name - Anti-FAscist. If someone thinks AnTiFA is bad, check if they’re waving fascist flags before engaging in any debate with them in a good faith.
  
  Conservatives are incapable of good faith arguments. It's completely pointless trying to argue with them about anything
  
  The problem is, they don’t think being anti-fascist is bad, they just don’t think the fascists that Antifa is against are actually fascists.
  
  And the DPRK has “democratic” in its name. There are so many better arguments to use.
  
  Wasn’t the issue the use of “antifa” by US “press” to describe anyone violent at any protest? I’m not American, here in EU it’s not a term that is used, at all.
  
  Aunt Tifa is evil! /s

Antifa literally means anti-fascist. The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were "antifa."
- The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were “antifa.”
  Many of them were quite literally Communists. The party membership was at its peak during the Great Depression, and American Communists were big advocates of US entrance into the war in the run up to Pearl Harbor. Lots of Americans saw the Western Front as an opportunity to aid their besieged allies in Soviet Russia.
  At the same time, you had pro-Nazi sympathizers who thought we should simply profit off the war by selling to both combatants, or even enter the war on the side of the Germans. The German-American Bund held rallies in New York and Chicago, hoping to win the public over to supporting Germany in its war against the eastern Communists.
  We had a very real and notable split in public opinion on the subject of which side of the war to support in the run up to the Japanese attack on Hawaii. And even after the war, many American conservative politicians remained sympathetic towards the defeated German government in a way they hadn't been towards the Kaiser's Reich of WW1, the Spanish during the Spanish-American War, or the American Natives.

  Fucking bizarre, considering that for the first two years of the war the US Communist Party followed the 'party line' and slobbed the knob of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

  Like fuck we did. Jesus Christ. The only question of relevance was whether to join the war or not, not whose side to join it on. Do you enjoy spreading pro-fascist disinformation?
- The D in DPRK stands for democratic. Not calling Antifa fascist here, just saying that an organization doesn't stay true to it's name.
  Frankly, I hate the narrative that Antifa is an organization. I've never met with anyone who was part of Antifa, but I know I would tell nazis to get the fuck off my street if they were marching down it.
- What "organization"? There is no antifa "organization". Anti-fascism is an ideology. If you are opposed to fascism, you are anti-fascist.
  Don't worry. I'm not accusing you of being opposed to fascism.
  
  Introduced, not passed. They are not a terror organization and calling them as such is an attempt to discredit a political movement for the sake of fascists and racists. There have been analyses, reports, and studies that have concluded that antifa is not a major domestic terrorism risk.
  
  The only problem "antifa" is causing in the U.S. is having the nerve to complain when cops murder them and the cops never face any consequences.
  
  Changing out the words "antifa" and "marijuana", then citing
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Convention_on_Narcotic_Drugs
  A 1962 issue of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs' Bulletin on Narcotics proudly announced that "after a definite transitional period, all non-medical use of narcotic drugs, such as opium smoking, opium eating, consumption of cannabis (hashish, marijuana) and chewing of coca leaves, will be outlawed everywhere. This is a goal which workers in international narcotics control all over the world have striven to achieve for half a century."
  The Government Said It So It Must Be True!
  
  If the people they are terrorizing domestically are Nazis, I'm fine with that.
  
  Introduced congressional resolutions are not known for their objectivism. I'm not saying the opposite is true, only that what something is has very little to do with what individual political figures want it to be. I mean, Indiana tried to legislate the value of π to be exactly 3.
  
  fascist rhetoric
  Lemmy.world account
  Why am I not surprised.?

I'd love to print this on a yard sign and stick it out by my sidewalk if I wasn't absolutely certain it'd get my tires slashed or worse.
- Print it out and stick it in the yard of any pro-Trump neighbors.
  
  what if you get caught doing it?
- sounds similar to the brown shirts

This poster needs to be on every fucking wall

Send the word, send the word, over here?
- Affirmative

I wonder if theres a high quality version, I'd love to print out large versions and post them all over town.
- You could probably use an image upscaler. You can find free options on the Internet.

Love this style & message.

Not a meme, unfortunately.
- If they were serious about stopping fascism being the priority they would have been happy to vote for someone other than Biden in the 2020 primaries. Stopping fascism isn't their priority. Their priority is to maintain neoliberal policy and using "stop fascism" as a cover.
  
  They probably did...

oh come on he only said he'd be a dictator for one day. that's not that bad, is it?

But but Biden still hasn’t climbed into a fighter jet and bombed Netanyahu’s house!! Nor has he taken a programming course to create a virus to inject into the IDF's targeting systems to redirect their missiles back onto them!!!! Biden bad, not gonna vote!!!!!!!!! /s

It's not just Trump tho, a majority of current Republicans in Congress also support fascism. Even if we're not fucked this November, the pendeullm swings both ways in the US, so sadly at some point we will be beyond fucked. Vote and shit, but enjoy your lives while we can, the next ~30 years are really, really gonna suck blue balls.

Is that ww2 or Korea era edited propaganda?
It’s not like it matters really, Americas role in both wars was to take the reins of fascism instead of oppose it…
- In WW2? What?
  
  Operation Paperclip and the original NATO convention were focused on technological and territorial control of the Atlantic seaboards and the Eastern Pacific. You also had US support for Fascist Spain in the run up to the war and endorsement of the theocratic government in Saudi Arabia.
  Following the end of hostilities in 1945, much of the original German command structure was reintegrated into post-war western bureaucracy. This included NATO high command including former Nazi officers and the Allen Dulles Era CIA working closely with German ex-pats across Latin America, West Africa, and the Middle East.
  The US turned to post-war fascist organizations as part of Operation Gladio, primarily in Italy and Greece, as well as during the various coups from Guatemala to Chile from the 50s into the late 90s. The Apartheid Regime of South Africa was also a US backed fascist network, responsible for arming many of the neighboring juntas Angola, Congo, and Kenya, among others. The web of ex-Fascist military officers that ran through all these Atlantic Coast combat zones runs thick.

Message == good
Graphic == huh

fucking cringe.

You're wayyyy past electing a fascist, boy!
- People forget Reagan. And the Bush Klan. Ole Prescott Bush was connected to the Wall street putch. He missed his chance at US dictatorship. But he groomed his son and grandson well. To cause as much damage as possible. "Mission Accomplished" Am I right?
  
  Prescott and his fascist cronies were stopped by an actual patriot, retired general Smedley Butler. A man who so despaired of the wars he helped wage that he became an anti-war later in life.
  I’m sure you know this since you are aware of the plot, but I’ll never miss an opportunity to bring up this American hero.
  
  don't almost every us president in recent memory?
