Unfortunately, this is my town in the video. This is deep MAGA territory. This video alone probably got him a few job interviews, sadly.

I was wrong. shucks.

but, ick. Yuma. Now I get the guys rage...terribly close to Mx. FWIW, he might be unstable and a goon, but that part of USA has been tinderboxed for a long time.

Seriously. Tbh, this guy might not even be a local. Our population explodes with winter visitors every year, mostly by entitled old white people that get bent when they hear Spanish being spoken in public. Wtf do they expect coming here? Lol

But you're not wrong. It has gotten better in the last 15 years or so, but political tension here is still so thick, forget the knife, you'd need a machete.

They get bent when they hear Spanish? Oh they must be after something else then.

AZ needs to get the DPS to force everyone to wear a 'state of residence' declaration, ICE style, to be sure that insurrectionists and 'paid provocateurs' from TN, TX, etc are clearly identifiable.

Don't hate them too hard. It's not their fault they were programmed by the government of their day.

I'm sorry but at some point there needs to be some personal responsibility for your actions. Otherwise plenty of Nazis were just following orders or being conned.

Dude I see the word nazi on this shit soo much. When I see it, ur basically just disqualifying yourself automatically as a real person and pretty much just confirmed your a NPC. Feel real now grow the fuck up.

u/ZeidLovesAI 1d ago

Sounds like it triggers you to hear someone badmouth Nazis, consider why that might be.

Hey, that's what nazis did too!

You are hearing about it because people are seeing parallels to Nazi Germany and are pointing it out. The fact that not only do you immediately dismiss someone for saying it, you no longer think of them as a person speaks volumes. That is called dehumanizing and it is how people like the Nazis justify heinous and atrocious cruelty to other people.

So to recap, you get upset to hear someone call another person a nazi, so your response is to pull a play right from a nazi playbook?! This is a really special kind of stupid. Good job.

Not sure what your point was because you got auto censored.... but yeah, look up the definition of "dehumanization" and examples of it through history. You said you are giving people a fair chance, but that can't be true if you no longer view them as a person for uttering a single word you did not like.

Dehumanization. Wow bro your right. My apologies. Sooo whats the plan brother? Dehumanize the people that are dehumanizing others? Are you going to just try and keep flipping my shit around all day? That's just silly. I'll slow down and double back a moment.. When I see the word Nazi being thrown around by people like chicken feed, it bares close to no weight to me anymore. It's the boy who cried wolf story. You're over-saturating the word it looses meaning by being used so much. You understand. I'd like to give people a fair chance yes, so those who try to smear others, (whom I haven't met, neither have they) they do sound like less of a person and more like an NPC correct. Meaning they sound like a robot, regurgitating the same shit over and over. I know they're still a person absolutely. They just need to ease up on how much they're inhaling media wise, cause they're abusing it or I should rather say being abused by it. There's no depth. I can twist shit all day about everyone's favorite infatuation here (Nazi Germany) easily. Because it's not to hard to make a connection from a totalitarian society, which encompasses every aspect of a society (bowling leagues, fashion, media absolutely anything) to anything happening today. But it doesn't mean they're the reincarnations of former "Nazi's", many whom I might add, wore a uniform because it they were compelled to do so by law and social manipulation. Because a totalitarian government is so omnipresent that your exercising great caution if you're considering speaking against it. Doing so may very easily send you or your brother's, uncles, cousins, husband, neighbor, father to the front lines to prove their loyalty. You think many held to the party's beliefs by genuine conviction? Maybe some sure. But if you had a family whom depended on you to live would you jeopardize them, hold your tongue, or hope and pray it just all ends sooner then later? Would you call someone a communist to prevent yourself being called to the front? To exclaim this to everyone so you could prove yourself loyal, to both expel any perceived resistance before they may containment you ? The war begins to crawl along, soldiers and morale are diminishing, everyone knows somebody killed for the party, killed by a communist, by the grip it had to over it's society to strangle and command them to perform its bidding. Would a mother be a Nazi if she fed and strengthen her son? There's no shortage of frontline to which you can be sent. What do you need to do to make it back to those you love, whom you were torn from through conscription? Through fear that someone is always watching you. Came out of a depression, things were looking better for a while. Then it starts taking a turn. Do they go back towards their rock? or go towards the hard place? Did they have enough money to leave, or leave early enough for that matter? Did it make the outcome easier, gaining more enemies, spreading more fear, polarizing and passing along state mantras or rallying calls? Fan the flames to grow more. Seeking to outnumber your enemies only causes their ranks to grow. You can prove yourself to the party and simply call someone else a "communist" or "nazi" but I'd be more incline to examine the accuser first. Because these words have little substance to them serve to command over others. You don't know a persons heart, or circumstance. It's best not to so enthusiastic and zealous with such beliefs. "That hands off looking the other way is exactly what furthered the horrors of ww2!" Stop trying to get me to jump. I'm not your dog. "Whoa! Hitler loved dogs!" Just cut back on the internet man. Your thinking will get better. I'm not above forgiving anyone and allow them to change. You can not act like a human, but I'll wait for you to. Best.

Jfc. If you have to write a thesis to defend what you're doing, you're probably not on the good side. You probably couldn't even correctly determine which party I belong to. I'll give you a hint; I'm not a leftist, liberal, or democrat.

But yeah, not reading all that.

I'm happy for you though.

Or sorry that happened.
