shit headline, its just the coast guard.
Though the Coast Guard is not part of the Defense Department, the service has been reworking its policies to align with the Trump administration’s changing tolerances for hazing and harassment within the U.S. military," the report states.
fucking clickbait trash
coast guard cant onboard hitler tattoos, fucking twats
It’s fucked up how normal (and I say this loosely) and unsurprising this actually sounds in today’s world.
If you told me a couple years back that America would openly turn fascist, I would have said you’re batshit crazy.
I studied history and have been telling people this for over a decade but most people think I’m batshit crazy.
Why would white supremacists see swastikas as hate symbols?
If it weren’t for people complaining about swastikas I’d almost never see one.
Count yourself lucky, even in my remote village there were botched swastikas spray painted on signs. Most likely teens who don’t know what it means, and that’s a problem in itself
In the us, the default country ofc
I hate this so much that politics@lemmy.world, you know the explicitly not-only-US instance, specifically only allows US politics.
wtf
Please put an NSFW tag on that image, it can get you in trouble if you accidentally show it in public in many countries, for good reason.
How long before this becomes the official flag of the United States?
Literally the defining symbol for the term ‘hate symbol’.
Hey, what’s a hate symbol? Oh, you know, like a swatztika. Ohh, right of course, how could I be so fucking dumb? Jesus CHRIST. Dude, calm down, it’s-- NO. PUNCH ME IN THE FACE, I’M TRASH.
“Opinion is divided on the subject. All the other captains say it is. I say it isn’t.”
Did nazi that coming?🙁.
Please shut the fuck up
What the fuck‽
I’m still wondering when time travelers are gonna fix this timeline.
I’m afraid this is the timeline where they dump all the assholes from other timelines
Maybe something worse happening in the future has them occupied
Nazis from the past used the Nazi time machine to travel to the future and destroy our society here in 2025.
I hate how everything about this is makes sense including the fact that if Nazis made a time machine it would just move forward through time at a rate of one day per day.
Or when the simulation we live in will be declared a failure and we’ll get rebooted. Every morning I wake up disappointed.
I’ve thought about it, and I’m fairly certain that time travelers had to call it quits and agree worldwide to stop it. Like, every outcome was worse than the last. . And, that means that our current trajectory is somehow the least destructive.
Yea cause 'muricans organizing and standing up for themselves is certainly not a good idea.
muricans standing up for nazis. Seditious behavior, as the glorious leader would put it. Seems overall very anti-american to me.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNTIED STATES IS CALLING FOR LAWMAKERS TO BE EXECUTED FOR UPHOLDING THE LAW! WTF IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS SHIT?
NOTHING AT ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE EITHER CONTENT WITH THIS OR TOO COWARDLY TO DO ANYTHING!
So this one is fine then ? https://www.bhamwiki.com/w/File:Banksy_hanged_klansman.png
Following the double negative rule: Anti Anti Fascists leaves you with
Fascists
The USA is dropping the mask for all the world to see.
The mask had been poorly held up for ages, people just chose to believe them 'cos Russia bad.
AND STILL PEOPLE ARE ACTING LIKE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL! AT THIS POINT I WANT TO SEE MASS PANIC SO I KNOW I’M NOT CRAZY! AND I’M IN CANADA, I WANT MASS PANIC IN CANADA! I AT LEAST WANT THIS SHIT TAKEN SERIOUSLY ENOUGH THAT CANADIANS STOP FUCKING GOING TO THE STATES AS IF EVERYTHING IS NORMAL!
AND STILL PEOPLE ARE ACTING LIKE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL!
Nope, we’rs not. But I, like many people, am in a marginalized/bum-fuck town. So, my opinion doesn’t matter until the polls open. We voted against this evil, and we will again. But, our government wants to embrace the evil.
We can see it wants to. We don’t want it to. But, most of us don’t matter to the government. We’re not big-dollar donors, so our politicians will ignore us. They’ve minimalized most people so all that we can do is vote against it.
But, with where the Overton window is, we have one party running with regular evil while the other suggests a diet version of evil.
I AT LEAST WANT THIS SHIT TAKEN SERIOUSLY ENOUGH THAT CANADIANS STOP FUCKING GOING TO THE STATES
With how dried up tourism is, it would seem like they’re already doing it. Yet, the government is still going down this path. So, it’s not that big of an impact.
The reason I want Canadians to stop going to the states isn’t to help the states, it’s to protect Canadians. But I would also like to help the states if I knew how
You say that, but the US is full of people still just going about their business. The country is operating fairly normally, all things considered, and the best you’ve got are sanctioned protests that are great for showing that people don’t love the situation but aren’t actually doing anything that couldn’t be responded to with an AI video of king Trump shit bombing everyone. Oh, and a Californian conservative who makes memes mocking Trump but is himself pretty shit.
Maybe for a nation of cowards this is action, but really it’s just sad. You’re taking it lying down, and half of you are even fighting to make sure that ya’ll get completely fucked.
I want America to revolt too, at the same time it’s a bit much to ask considering people will die if it happens. Really, my anger and frustration is more directed at congress and the Supreme Court, the people who are supposed to be responsible for protecting America from this sort of thing.
personally, I’m trans and I’m just trying to survive while I build an exit plan. damn right I’m laying down - I’m laying low.
Right?
Like, the best thing a member of a loathed and marginalized community can do is to have an escape plan. They’re foaming at the mouth with rage and drooling at the opportunity for a hated group to put up an ounce of resistance so they can round them up for the camps. What kind of opposition can one transgender person in a one bedroom at night put up against an armed SWAT team?
It’ll be someone else’s job to resist with an organized force. The trick isn’t surviving long enough to be rescued from Auschwitz. The trick is knowing when and how to get away before Auschwitz becomes a thing.
but the US is full of people still just going about their business.
Because we aren’t important enough for politicians to pay attention to. Our calls just go straight into an answering machine that gets ignored because we’re not big-dollar donors like Musk. Musk probably has a direct line.
the best you’ve got are sanctioned protests that are great for showing that people don’t love the situation but aren’t actually doing anything that couldn’t be responded to with an AI video of king Trump shit bombing everyone.
Yeah. We are in poverty. We have had stagnant wages for like 40 years, but rampent inflation. This is the second gilded age like it was in the 20s and earlier. The rich have everything and direct lines to politicians, and the poor need 3 gig jobs and a regular job just to afford rent and food. In a work heap like this, we need foreknowledge to schedule our protests around. We can’t afford the privilege of just taking off and protesting.
Maybe for a nation of cowards this is action, but really it’s just sad. You’re taking it lying down, and half of you are even fighting to make sure that ya’ll get completely fucked.
Again, you’re conflating poverty and desperation in a backdrop of political corruption as aquiesence.
It would be nice if Canadians would also stop voting for politicians who lead Canada in the same direction as the USA. We need to turn left, not right.
Be nice if someone could offer an actual choice.
When you you hit rock bottom at America’s level we’ll have an ice cold imported beer ready for you and you can pull up a chair with us around the destructive bonfire immolating western civilization. We’ve got hot dogs and everything. I know you dont love us right now but in a weird twist Americans are still big fans of Canada.
I think I read that American approval of Canadians is 94% while simultaneously two thirds of Canadians not only dont trust the US but feel like they can never trust us again.
We can’t stop voting for conservatives to stop the Conservatives™ from getting power. We’re dumb as hell for that.
I wish Canadians would realise they are voting for the same policies, but all the newspapers are owned by a Republican American, and they dont know.
Honestly, I understand why my parents aren’t even panicking, the country we lived in before coming to the US, also had random arbitary policy changes, so… this just feels normal to them, authoritarianism is normal to them.
