The fucking hypocrisy of calling it the reichtag (excuse my spelling) fire.
Yeah that was a very interesting thing to post. Unless the poster is a public Nazi, it shows a really poor understanding of history
Even if he is a public nazi, it still displays a really poor understanding of history imho.
It’s really sad and frightening, seeing the US degenerating fast into a fascist hellhole. Soon I fear there won’t be other options anymore than civil war, because those people simply won’t go away with words anymore.
My thoughts go to my fellow American people who are trapped in this nightmare
Yes, but I don't think it's unlikely that the current US regime will use this event in exactly the same way.
I mean, with the Supreme Court ruling that the president is above the law and his rather far-reaching powers, the US supreme Nazi already has options that are somewhat similar to those of the "Enabling Act" following the Reichstag fire.
Regardless of who ultimately shot the guy, the US regime will probably jump on this—if only because it serves as a bogus argument for further autocratic advances and also as another distraction from the Eppstein list.
Besides, the US regime is certainly ruthless enough to do so.
