Anyone who thinks these soldiers will do anything other than exactly what they’re ordered is thinking more than a little wishfully

Very cool but ngl the name and logo totally had me thinking this was a private military company that uses drones to metaphorically black out the sky

That’s a good trick!

Yeah, the US! That’s the big ball in the picture!

Now THAT’S the real pie in the sky idea. I think you could realistically get the government paying $5M to some architectural firm to design le “haunting” brutalist monument which is le “stark reminder” of “dark times” that we will “never let happen again”, but zero chance anyone gets reparations unless they pay a lawyer and go to court over it

Yeah this comic reeks of manufactured gender war content

The wording is not just wording. Directly quoting a Nazi slogan would be an unambiguous endorsement of the Nazis. So far the administration behaves in ways that are like the Nazis, but they do not open fly swastika flags, etc.

So to say that I’m splitting hairs about wording, to me, feels the same as if an article said “Trump flies Nazi flag” and the flag is the thin blue line flag. Yes, you can make a good argument that the thin blue flag stands for the same thing as the Nazi’s flag, but surely, however alarming it would be for him to fly a thin blue line flag, it should be more alarming for him to fly the literal Nazi flag. It feels as though you’re saying something like “you’re just splitting hairs over the colors and shapes on the flag, the meaning is the same”. But clearly the meaning is not quite the same - the colors and shapes on the flag DO have additional meaning that changes the urgency of the situation. The actions of the administration are horrible, the phrase on the podium is horrible, but I think there is still a substantial difference in what constitutes a reasonable response to it that depends on whether it is an actual Nazi quote or not. And in my hypothetical situation, a headline like “Trump flies Nazi flag” would be a blatant falsehood and misinformation, regardless of the underlying symbolic content of the flag he flew.

Thank you for being polite and not calling me a bot or whatever else. It’s valuable to talk with level headed people to adjust my ongoing measure of the risk of staying here and the urgency of leaving.

“This post which makes untrue claims isn’t misinformation because it’s heart is in the right place”

Behold: how conservatives became blindly accepting of any information as long as it fits their views

Its never okay to spread objectively false information. If they were directly quoting Nazis, I would be on the first plane out of here, leaving behind my family and all my property. When I first read this, my heart jumped, because I thought that’s what I now I had to do.

But then I see that it isn’t true. Yes, this is alarming and horrible, but do you really think it wouldn’t be any more alarming if they were directly quoting Nazi slogans?

For people trying to decide whether to leave the country in the next 6-8 months, vs. Drop everything and evacuate now even if it means leaving a lot of stuff behind, there is a big difference between the administration directly quoting Nazi slogans vs inventing their own slogans that suggest the same behaviour but not actually yet acting on it.

Also, no matter what, it’s not a Nazi slogan. That means that calling it a Nazi slogan IS objectively false. That’s not splitting hairs, that’s pointing out that the post is literally spreading a lie. In these times it is very important to preserve the truth, since it’s so hard to find reliable info. Blurring the lines between truth and falsehood is how the administration puts people in a state of paralysis where they aren’t sure what the correct reaction to things is.

It is always important not to spread objectively false information.

I feel like this joke would be a lot funnier without any of the bumper stickers, just playing on the Subaru meme. Or maybe just a single pride flag.

As it is, each bumper sticker seems like an additional layer of desperation from the artist to make sure you get their joke. Which isn’t particularly clever or funny to begin with tbh…

Where does it mention the “one of ours, all of yours” quote?

British people in shambles rn

A ONE-TIME tax is still too much for them! Incredible. Meanwhile there are people who expect to discharge 5% of their money on a one-time expense such as needing chemotherapy, or paying their phone bills. Market gains would likely recoup the entire 5% for the billionaires after about 12-18 months. But even this is just unacceptable for them.

The fact that even the vast, legendary popularity of Star Wars hasn’t helped in that regard kind of makes me question the ability of fiction to make an impact in society’s way of thinking, sad as that is to consider

What’s misleading is that the phrase was never used by Nazis, but the content of the post says it is. That’s both false and misleading

Yeah, mods should probably delete the OP post imo… Its pretty bad to allow something blatantly false to spread like this. Especially looking at the upvote ratio.

Since this has been identified as misinformation by many people in the thread, please delete this post or update the title to reflect that.

Edit: I am extremely confused about the downvotes, would love to discuss the reasoning for it with someone.

Yeah activist groups like the hacker known as LGBT
