Love the guy saying it's like the Reichstag fire. So the shooter is a nazi?

[–] Akrenion@slrpnk.net 52 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That one got to me. There is a strong reason to believe the Reichstagsfire was a self incited crisis to justify a power grab. Why do people think this is a good comparison?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago

Well, in this case that could be a perfect comparison. Maybe that person knows something we don't...

I mean, they're openly saying it's like that, therefore they should seize emergency powers

Might as well admit they're fascists. They're also picking the most hated fascist regime in history as their example to emulate

I mean most likely. My theory is that it's some QAnon guy pissed about the Epstein stuff.

Honesty seems likely. I feel like a leftist would go after someone more important but it could have just been an opportunity/access thing like he happened to live there or something.

Still seems insane that it happened and the person got the fuck out of there scot-free, whilst some other poor sap got snatched for the deed.

I mean, that's very likely. And at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it was a false flag either
