@connormulcahey Nazis shrank the German government, citing inefficiency. Bureaucracy is a check on centralized power.
Fascists shrink the parts of the government that don’t have anything to do with their power and expand police, intelligence, and military, so…something else to watch out for.
“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.
I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.
Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.”
Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…
@ProfBootyPhD Again, it's hilarious how the people who demand everyone define "what is a woman" can't do it themselves when they actually try. And then just expect everyone else to paper over or ignore the flaws in THEIR definition just because.
Under Trump's executive order, every single person in America is now legally classified as female.
All embryos begin by developing female sex organs, with male sex organs only replacing them at around 6 weeks of gestation.
You guys are waiting on that “leopards ate my face” moment but it’s not gonna come.
“Price of eggs is still high because of democrat run cities refusing to enforce border regulations.”
And that will be that. They’ll do this for everything, for four years.
Psa: when people say "we have to get rid of pronouns" they just mean driving trans people out of public life. You aren't going to own them by pointing out that 'We' is a pronoun
Inspired by this viral meme about DOGE: Research the US government has supported that can be made to sound silly, but that has contributed to human progress.
Valuable work can often be framed as absurd out of context. That doesn’t make funding research any less important.🧵
By far the most bizarre, and incredibly frequent response I've seen to people pointing out that Matt Gaetz almost certainly trafficked children is "lol you mad?"
About... child rape?
Yes?
More to the point... why aren't you?!
