[green, pointing to a clock with Hitler above it, that reads 11:30] Oh no, look… It's half to Hitler

[yellow, annoyed] Chill out buddy, don't be such an alarmist

[yellow, rude] Yeah I get it, I tweeted about it, leave me be

Hitler is at 08:08, not 00:00

It's not only the orange guy. The 'Oh no, look' guy isn't helpful either. If people don't react correctly, the behavior should be adjusted.

Also realistically nobody except centrists have any actual ideas on what to do about it. And even the centrists' main idea is mostly "be more centrist, assholes". Which totally would work, but is not very actionable for the problematic people.

No, they saw it coming. They voted for it.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

Most of this massive amount of "they" you're talking about it have a completely different view what is happening right now.

Yeah it's more like "hey guys trump is going very corrupt billionaire that has nothing in common with you" to "trump lied to your face about releasing the Epstien files"

Thankfully, Orange shit is much older compared to Hitler and will not outlive most of us. Problem is what's coming after and the cleanup.

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 16 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

If you think this ends with trump then good news, you will have no idea whats going to happen in 13 months.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago

13? I'd say 1 or 2.

They will, once again, choose to "move past" the event and not create any actual fixes.

Godwin's law!

[–] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

That's funny, I was just coming to comment about remembering when Godwin's law was a thing, and about how I wonder, now, if it helped contribute towards protecting the slow, continual growth of fascist ideology. Nazi thinkers not getting called out on their Nazi thoughts by invoking this made up rule.

This applies just as well to Israel's increasingly violent ethno-Fascism ending up in a Genocide about to turn into a new Holocaust, as it applies to the US' empoverishment, explosion of inequality and collapse of social mobility which together with the domination of various pillars of Democracy by the moneyed elites made the election of a Fascist Populist a certainty.

The toon on the right is obviously a US-style Liberal - the last part ("Too late now, nothing we can do") is especially telling.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Israel started as a genocidal state, it continued as a genocidal state, and it still is a genocidal state. Settler Colonialism is genocide.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Indeed: the Nakba was already a Genocide.

My point is about Israel's "evolution" toward a Genocidal nation with levels of violence and rabid racism similar to Nazi Germany, from the generic "19th-Century White Colonialism" model they started with.

With that "Hitler clock", this cartoon is pretty much a perfect representation of how Israel has changed over time from run-of-the-mill white colonialist nation to its current state a ultra violent rabbid ethnostate just about to commit their own version of the Holocaust by starving Gazans, and of the reactions of mainstream Western politicians to both Israel's "evolution over time" and it's current state.

The thing is no one, literally no one, could have seen this coming.

His first term was text book in political perfection, and then he goes and does a 720 kickflip and gets all tyrannical and dictator-ish.

You know who really caused all this? Obama's second daughter, that's who. She's the leader of the Illuminati, I tell ya.

It's one year past Hitler. That ship has sailed.
