Holy frick, he really wants mass workplace deaths. These people need to be burned alive at the stake.

all of my life on the internet, I'd read Americans smugly declaring that the only reason anywhere that wasn't North America, Western Europe or Japan was a mess, was because the people there obviously deserved it. they were inferior and couldn't handle democracy. they also proclaimed loudly that any dictatorship would never fly in the US because they love freedom and would demonstrate the second anything resembling a dictatorship came to pass in the US.

now Trump is president and "joking" about running a third term, being a king etc.. and what do they do? absolutely nothing. they tow the line and watch as America delves further into authoritarianship.

serves you right for all the times you claimed you were more civilised you motherlovers.

My great grandpa (maternal side) is Czech and he once told us of how during the rise of the Nazi Party in neighboring Germany, but there were many in Czechoslovakia as well who were sympathetic to the Nazis, Hitler and their ideals, as truth be told, many Czechs saw the Germans as "equals", thought that the Nazis hatred of Jews, Roma people or Slavic people somehow didn't apply to them (Czechs who saw themselves as "Germanic" and/or sympathized with the Nazis).

Meanwhile many of those who opposed and/or did not sympathize with the Nazis also downplayed the threat the Nazis posed by saying things like "Oh, what's happening in Germany won't happen here", or "Hitler won't make good on his crazy threat to invade us", "Oh, it probably won't get that bad" or some other way of saying that we (those who are raising alarms over the danger Hitler actually posed) are overeacting.

When Hitler's forces invaded, a number of Czech people actually welcomed them giving Nazi salutes to the columns of invading Nazi troops or tearing down the Czech flag from buildings themselves to replace it with Nazi flags.

However, my great grandpa saw the danger the Nazis posed, the repression, violence and death they'd bring and lo and behold, when the Nazis did actually occupy Czechoslovakia, turns out the Nazis weren't just oppressing the Jews, gay people, communists, liberals, Czech nationalists and academics, but also extended their oppression of ordinary Czech people, including those of Germanic ancestry. Turns out, the Nazis didn't see us as equals after all and many of those Czechs who welcomed the Nazis had a "why are the leopards eating my face, I supported them?" mentality when the Gestapo came after them as well.

This is basically an oversimplification of why my great grandpa told me but yeah, the reason the Nazis (and fascism in general) was able to rise the way it does was because people either underestimated its danger or downplayed it for years, treating them like a joke until that joke wasn't funny anymore.

10k up votes we're going to hear about drumph until the universe ends huh

A Mavs championship this year or next is totally on the table if they roll out a Kyrie AD KD big three. It would be a very empty one a la the 97 or 03 Marlins.

Lots of individual drama to like here too. Kyrie's "antisemitism" and vax stuff, Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis, KD's burner account.

Maybe the ideal outcome is if they flame out in the playoffs but bring in James Harden, Russ and… Miles Bridges!!!?? for the 2026 squad.

All the other media is making it sound like the Mavs owner is crazy. Though it still doesn't make sense why they wouldn't shop him for a better deal. So yes, still crazy?

Here we spot wild Bardfinn Bluesky activities.

Be valid and ping ! bardfinn for something worthwhile or create a new thread.

I'm more disturbed at how some Liberals are trying to force a former central banker as potentially my next unelected Prime Minister.
