A 63 year old movie describes us a little too well

[sartre play]

There is only one common theme in every Trump speech, and that is how awful things are and how awful things will be if he is not elected. Every single campaign speech is the same.

And the sheep are scared enough to believe every word. You have to be scared and miserable to support Trump, to say nothing of extremely gullible.

Trump is using negatives and anger and distrust.
What is also true is it works,
and everyone else is using it also.
So working folks and old folks will end up paying the price.
And the list of billionaires will continue to grow
and the middle class will continue to shrink.

No wonder the CIA and Deep State detest him but cannot shut him up .

They silenced Joe McCarthy, but they cannot silence Donald Trump.

 

[Mac1958]

So working folks and old folks will end up paying the price.
And the list of billionaires will continue to grow
and the middle class will continue to shrink.

And these folks will continue to blame the brown people for it.

From the movie in the OP: "There are devils among us -- communists, liberals, jews, gypsies. Once these devils will be destroyed, your misery will be destroyed". It was the old, old story of the sacrificial lamb.

Dummy, taking away a right from a SELECT minority isn't gun control. Gun control is taking EVERYONE's GUNS, which the Nazis did not do. In fact, the Nazis encouraged gun ownership and considering owning a gun to be a sign of Ayran manliness. There were a shitload of guns floating around Germany, which is why the Allies spent so much time confiscating them after VE Day.

The allies confiscated all privately owned gun and Germans were not allowed gun ownership again until 1956 (In West Germany, East Germany it wasn't allowed at all until reunification.)

All gun control takes guns from certain groups and gives other groups a monopoly on gun ownership.

When did you become a sniveling tool of dictators? You certainly like to kiss their asses.

 

[Thunderbird]

Except he didn't do either. Most Germans who weren't Jews were allowed to keep their weapons and abortion was illegal in Germany. Germany, in fact, was one of the few countries that ever executed abortion providers.

So you acknowledge the Nazis confiscated guns from certain groups. I am glad you have conceded the point. You recognize the Nazis favored gun control.

Did the Nazis legalize abortion for Poles and Soviet women? Yes or no?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

He's your Hitler, Mac, because you don't like him and he hurt your feelings.

But you're fine, sure. It's US with the problem

Your man has 34 felony convictions and three more criminal trials pending. No. Not Hitler.
A criminal who has authoritarian proclivities and has already shown a willingness to operate outside of the law. Who has already sworn retribution on those he sees as enemies.

Eerily similar indeed.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

They don't get it. They never will.

Or they get it just fine and are ok with it.

 

[eagle1462010]

Speaking of that, looking at my state ballot and the others running, I'll have to write someone in.

Not sure whether to make it a serious name or somebody like comedian Bill Burr.

 

[eagle1462010]

Darn!

Ok, here it is: Why is it that so many people that worked closely with Trump and say he is unfit?

Go ahead.

IDGAF

Next question Troll

 

[eagle1462010]

Or they get it just fine and are ok with it.

Every once in a blue moon you guys are correct.

We dont care.

 

[The Duke]

Look at that meltdown.

It's a movie quote.

Yeah, but in 2024, you're a commie stooge moron.

Nice INFLATION we have now under Dem leadership.

You guys are Detroiting the Nation.

Talking to these clowns is like this.

You ever see that Reverend dude Detroit video?
It looks like it was Howitzered.

Lol

 

[The Duke]

All gun control takes guns from certain groups and gives other groups a monopoly on gun ownership.

When did you become a sniveling tool of dictators? You certainly like to kiss their asses.

Uh, no, guy.

Here's the thing. Jews were less than 1% of Germany's population in 1933. So a law that only took guns away from 1% of the population while making it easier for the other 99% to get them isn't really gun control.

Which is why the Allies had to go house to house and collect the guns after the war was over.

 

[Mac1958]

Your man has 34 felony convictions and three more criminal trials pending. No. Not Hitler.

They know. They don't care. They want a strongman who will take care of them. They'll put with anything for that. Just like the people before.

This is about THEM, not Hitler, and THAT'S what the thread is about. They know that, too. Maybe they'll admit it if he wins.

 

[Thunderbird]

Uh, no, guy.

Here's the thing. Jews were less than 1% of Germany's population in 1933. So a law that only took guns away from 1% of the population while making it easier for the other 99% to get them isn't really gun control.

Are you quite certain that only Jews were deprived of guns? Was everyone else allowed guns or only Nazi Party members? Do you have any evidence?

The group deprived of guns may be small or large, but the goal is the same: Take away the means of self-defense as a prelude to ill-treatment.

I'm posting this in the Politics section because it so eerily describes our current political climate. I was watching a 1961 movie last night, and a moment in the movie absolutely blew my mind.

At a key moment in the movie (at 2:18:00), a judge (played by Burt Lancaster) who is on trial describes a dark time in the country's history:

There was a fever over the land. A fever of disgrace, of indignity, of hunger. We had a democracy, yes. But it was torn by elements within. Above all, there was fear. Fear of today, fear of tomorrow. Fear of our neighbors, and fear of ourselves. Only when you understand that, can you understand what (he) meant to us. Because he said to us, "lift your heads, be proud to be (who you are). There are devils among us -- communists, liberals, jews, gypsies. Once these devils will be destroyed, your misery will be destroyed". It was the old, old story of the sacrificial lamb.

What about those of us who knew better? We who knew the words were lies, and worse than lies? Why did we sit silent? Why did we take part? Because we loved our country. What difference does it make if a few political extremists lose their rights? What difference does it make if a few racial minorities lose their rights? It is only a passing phase! It is only a stage we're going through! It will be discarded sooner or later! The leader himself will be discarded sooner or later!

The country is in danger. We will march out of the shadows. We will go forward! And history tells us how well we succeeded, your honor.




Pretty amazing. The scene is from Judgment at Nuremberg, 1961.
