If Hitler Had Spoke English

"location"?

Somebody needs more coffee.

Well, it certainly isn't me.

You said "You don't know where I live" as if that could possibly have any bearing on the conversation.

This game of left basing right and right bashing left gets awfully tedious.

It's called metaphor.

As I said....
I'll come back after you've caught up.

Sure does. So why did you jump in here with it?

If Hitler were to speak English and post various themes of his in either the middle east or Israel sections of this place, it certainly wouldn't be the conservatives embracing him.

Can't say the same thing for the hard leftists.

Uh ... yeah. Hypernationalism, military and gun fetish, appeal to religion, appeal to tradition, appeal to glorious past... what would conservatives possibly find common ground on there....

I dunno Pogo.
Folks on the right don't seem to like Jihadists who get nationalistic and religious with guns.

I guess it depends who sides with whom?
Also whoever has a "common enemy" may end up falling in line as allies indirectly.

* One side forgives Zionists who worship Armageddon (as long as they apply it to wiping out Muslims and Palestinians)
but can't deal with Islamists worshipping Jihad.
* The other forgives Muslims, Jihadists and Terrorists as having "legitimate grievances" and reasons for resorting to violence, but can't seem to forgive the Christians deemed as the worse enemy (and/or Jews for occupying the Palestinians)

(Similar with Corporations destroying the environment that are forgiven by some, and vilified by others)

I don't know if I can keep track of all that!

It's like inviting guests to dinner, and struggling to remember who can or cannot sit next to whom without starting WW3

you forgot hatred of Jews.

If you haven't visited the sections in question, perhaps you should.


You are just like most everybody else in this forum in the way you play the politics as identity game. You are of the left, so nothing bad can be associated with the left and only bad things are associated with the right. In that, you are no different than all the righties who play the same game.

I am neither right nor left, and see no need to defend my turf. As such, I can see what is right there in plain sight, and the truth of the matter is that antisemitism is MUCH more prevalent on the left than it is the right these days.

A person would have to be an idiot to fail to notice.

It seems to me this discussion (?) is merely a conduit for self indulgent hobby horses.

No real interest in the the thread header.

Another piece of ignorant crap.

They didn't do a good job of wiping out Muslims and Palestinians, whose demographics have exploded.

Most people seek an echo chamber and view any opinion that is not in lock step with their own orthodoxy as being the product of an opposing ideology. In this case, while Fascism was certainly a far right ideology, that does not mean that certain aspects do not also appeal to the far left.

I have been posting on political boards since the 90s (despite Pogos feeble attempt to dismiss me on the basis of my being a newbie) and I have seen one pattern played out time and time again. A Neo Nazi will show up at the board and start posting. If they are in the middle east or Israel section and start talking about how Jews have too much power and how Jews are sneaky and conniving and are puppetmasters and all the rest of that crap, the leftists will fall all over themselves agreeing with the posts. It is only when the Neo Nazi ventures into other themes (like hatred of gay people, blacks, obvious white pride stuff and whatnot ) that they figure out what they are dealing with and try to distance themselves. They don't even realize they are dealing with a Nazi until he identifies himself as such, and it's almost as if the label is the only thing they will react to and not the content.

So you're saying that the Jews still control everything?

Interesting question.

I see a LOT of parallels today in the US to Nazi Germany, but it seems like most people are totally oblivious to it.

That's a fake quote. The actual source (in Mein Kampf) reads:

“In this they [the Jews] proceeded on the sound principle that the magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil, and that, therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Such a falsehood will never enter their heads, and they will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others.…” (p. 231 of the Manheim translation)

Sorry, I was assuming my reader is familiar with English. Obviously a leap. This makes about as much sense as Dog's rhetorical fumble. 4:39 am must be a factor.

You could certainly learn to wield the English language with the clarity necessary to avoid placing the onus of understanding upon the recipient. You expect others to read your mind while denigrating them if they don't, and while this may serve your infantile ego needs, it does little to further discussion.

Doesn't take psychic powers; only reading ones.

There is no way to derive what the poster inferred from my post. None. Zero.

Hitler talked about building the Autobahn with great passion. Obviously superhighways are evil.
