First it was the 'immigrants', then anyone who doesn't agree with him in office was removed, now any American-Born Citizen who doesn't agree with him gets removed..

"DT on Monday insisted these would just be 'violent people,' ... though he’s also floated it as a punishment for those who attack Tesla dealerships to protest his administration and its patron, billionaire Musk."

The Guardian · ‘Muscle-flexing or urgent threat?’ How Trump’s assault on culture echoes the Nazis targeting ‘degenerate art’By Jonathan Jones

[TL:DR: We need to stop the perversion of rule of law *globally*; concentrate on supporting democracies instead of despots. 💰 ]

On Carl Schmitt, the 'legal architect' of the Third Reich and inspiration to present day authoritarians.

「For Schmitt, every government capable of decisive action must include a dictatorial element within its constitution. Although the German concept of Ausnahmezustand is best translated as "state of emergency", it literally means "state of exception" which, according to Schmitt, frees the executive from any legal restraints to its power that would normally apply. The use of the term "exceptional" has to be underlined here: Schmitt defines sovereignty as the power to decide to initiate a state of exception [...]」

「Through the state of exception, Schmitt included all types of violence under right, in the case of the authority of Hitler leading to the formulation "The leader defends the law" ("Der Führer schützt das Recht").」

「Some have argued that Schmitt has become an important influence on Chinese political theory in the 21st century, particularly since Xi Jinping became General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party in 2012.

Schmitt's ideas have proved popular and useful instruments in justifying the legitimacy of Chinese Communist Party rule」

Today, we remembers the death of the German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed on this day in 1945 for his active opposition to Nazism. May his courage and his memory never be forgotten. #dietrichbonhoeffer #fascism #nazism #Trump #MAGA #Germany #theology #USA #stupidity #cheapgrace #religion #christianity #christian #ChristianNationalism #philosophy #sociology #psychology #resist #TrumpLies #trumptariffs #decline #usa #jesus

This fact proves, if one wishes, the credulity, the heedlessness, of the masses, their unawareness of their own strength, but not at all their incapacity, that is, the absence of that strength.

I dag er det 9. april. Bedre kendt som besættelsesdagen. For 85 år siden blev vi angrebet af Nazisterne.

Min farmor tilgav dem aldrig. Ej heller det tyske folk, som helhed.

Her 85 år senere er vi desværre endnu engang under angreb. Ikke direkte militært, men via en #hybridkrig og via daglige trusler fra det #fascistiske #usa, som har startet en #handelskrig mod os og stort set resten af verden. Hvem skulle ha troet det? Og har menneskeheden intet lært af alle de lidelser?

NY public schools tell DT administration they won’t comply with DEI order

"New York state officials have told the DT administration that they will not comply with its demands to end diversity, equity and inclusion practices in public schools, despite the administration’s threats to terminate federal education funding."

#German sign says "Achtung!! Das Spiel Ist Aus!!" — Not sure what it means, but apparently it means "Danger! The Game Is Over!" — These people know a thing or two about #Nazism and #fascism.

Another says, "There Will Be #Hell #Toupee" with a caricature of #Trump hair-do.

Yet another: "Hey #Technofascist #Broligarchs, Clean Up After Your #DOGE" — Good one!

" Well, if you leave the politics out of it.... "
Nazism is more than politics, it is a way of life. It is a state of being, reasoning, and understanding.

One cannot simply leave the politics out of Nazism, because it goes well beyond a political issue, and into a social, moral, and ethical issues.

You are either against Nazis or you are for Nazis, there is no compromise. And anyone who tells you otherwise is either a Nazis, or naively full of shit.
