#SmedleyButler: #War is a racket

annas-archive.org/search?q=Sme

ready for a small #ww2 #nazi #Germany #history lesson?
1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces

2. this #bs #historian youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)

no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (#money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people

in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process

also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )

check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion

Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."

To my #American friends, the ones who live in the #USA or #US for short.

Y de fuq are people associating #republicans with #worker plight?

Why is the party of #oligarchy associated with the fight against the #elites when they basically suckle at the teet of elites?

It's because #liberals, born of the #Liberalists, siblings to the #conservatives are happy about the status quo and want to keep it that way.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the liberals in the Dems ARE the enemy.

@kathimmel

No one in their sane mind likes killing, but people have become 'fans' of #LuigiMangione because he symbolises anger towards shitty systems (not just in the U.S. but everywhere).

People are AN-GRY with healthcare systems (attempts at privatising the NHS 🇬🇧 , the corporate greed of insurance companies 🇺🇲 ), with politicians (néolibs, 'centre-'-left aka centre-right, millionaire MPs and Congress/Senate, far right politicians), corporate greed, war, energy bills, cost of living, shit pay, housing crisis, #AI, #governmentsurveillance, police violence (#ACAB), repression of protest, repression of #LGBTQISplusRights :anqueer_flag: :newpride: ...the list is long.

Although it's completely sane to not cry over a billionaire who gleefully made money from the deaths of patients who made him rich by paying for their insurance, only to have the insurance company say 'You're dying. Who cares! Fuck you'

"You've heard of Project 2025, but there's another framework that may be even more important for understanding the current assault on Western democracies. "Project Russia" is a series of books published between 2005 and 2010, and it outlines a strategic vision for total war on the West, against democracies, and against the US dollar and other fiat currencies.

Nearly unknown to Western analysts, the concepts described in Project Russia increasingly reflect the events we see playing out on a daily basis: a war over competing worldviews with capture of media, the use of podcasts and other alternative media to challenge the mainstream press, and the emergence of a new class of unelected 'elite' demagogues who seem to be taking control of global affairs. This episode analyzes the four original Project Russia books and offers 'deep dives' into specific areas of the texts."—@davetroy

Yeah .. 🫤

#Europe is now completely sandwiched between hostile blocs.

Already told @Bundesregierung & @EUCommission that the only way to survive is to push #DomesticDemand on the economic side and to #DefeatFascism on the political side. Fast.

But chances are nil they'd be doing that.
And we all know why - our #Elites just don't like that.

The Secretive #Elites Contributing to #Autocracy’s Growth

Autocrats dump their democratic allies & keep the company of kleptocrats.

By @anneapplebaum & Peter Pomerantsev

Since the earliest days of the republic, America’s international friendships have shaped domestic politics. And some of those friendships helped #America strengthen its democratic principles. So what happens if America’s new friends are autocrats?

#Project2025 is also steeped in the #CultureWars: the doc characterizes so many elements of governance as #woke – the woke #treasury department, woke #weather reports – that the term is rendered #meaningless. It also describes the country as run by “#elites” – though not, apparently, the elites that run heavyweight Washington thinktanks.
