    One instance is a coincidence

    You have this picture here as one ( we won’t even talk about he made the eagle more Nazi like)

    They use a Nazi rune for the stage at the RNC where they proudly post the “joke” that they are domestic terrorists.

    Their side is EXCLUSIVELY made up of Holocaust deniers.

    Their side is made up of EXCLUSIVELY of this country’s neo Nazis and white supremists

    Stephen miller plagiarized Goebbels

    Trump kept and read Mein Kampf next to his bed

    Trump, Vance, and musk campaign for and donate money to the German AfD party who are KNOWN to be NAZIS

    Elon Musk “jokingly” sieg Heiled twice so forcibly that he grunted

    They have built, and are still building , concetration camps.

    Their new illegal bunker has a, very legal I’m sure, medical research facility in it

    They all constantly talk about Eugenics.

    They are bringing back public executions

    This is all aside from. Their policy decisions. At this point, if I meet you on the street and you say that they ARENT NAZIS, we will have problems

    I’m not saying this image is generated, but it is at least a little bit weird that a reverse image search only shows this specific comparison. I even tried Google Images for a “Visual Match” instead of just Tineye, and nothing.

    That, and Hitler’s eyes look weird, and the folded Nazi flags in the back look garbled. Circumstantially, it’d be extremely fucking weird if whoever planned this layout put a plant obstructing the view of the symbol on the podium. And what the hell would that cut-off, stark white symbol at the bottom right be?

        The image of Hegeseth is real

        Sorry, I should’ve been more clear; I was never questioning the Hegseth image.

        The image of Hitler may be altered

        Generated, not altered. I don’t think this speech footage/image existed at all. The angle is weird along with the other points.

    Just because he idolizes the nazi military doesn’t mean he’s a nazi. He is of course. But that’s not why, everything else he does is why.

        Honestly the Nazis were not this Uber competent group. Tons of in-fighting, poor strategic and logistical choices, and they did not run the government nor country in this rigid orderly way that is and was projected by their propaganda.

        I would say they had a very good propaganda campaign that’s still ongoing and paying dividends. Once you look under the surface some and start learning more about how the country was governed it becomes clear there was plenty of room for improvement.

        I mean, think about it this way, they chose to commit an industrial genocide on a hellacious scale wasting men, material and destroying the soul of a nation. How much more manpower would they have had if they didn’t commit these crimes against humanity and instead had drafted these folks.

        Like I know it’s not a great comparison or awesome though experiment and lacking any nuance but I think it makes a point.

      It is ironic that his flavour of fascism includes adoring israel not hating it. Anyway, he’s not smart enough to be a very successful villain, hope to see him removed soon

        They love to force suffering on others.

        It’s like a pressure release valve for them. When they make others suffer it slightly lessens their own terror for a moment.

        Whatever bullshit they have to say or do, incantations, prayers, dumb hats, whatever to get to the part where millions suffer, they’ll do it.

        Obviously for money, for that country is one of the largest purchasers of US military equipment.

    Symbols are for the symbol minded - George Carlin

    The thing that makes this regime similar to the Nazis isn’t the way they draw eagles.

    The eagle is clutching arrows, representing a fasces, the root of the word fascism, representing the power of the state. Traditionally depicted with an axe at the centre, a fasces was a tool used by the roman armu to discipline soldiers. An axe for decapetation, rods for beating.

    these things are everywhere un modern nation states, but I’m told it’s not important, it doesnt mean what i think it means.

    it is also the root of the word f*ggot, a bundle of sticks.
