The executive is a co-equal branch of government. We don't do kings here. We kill kings.
We also kill Nazis. Per long tradition. We don't debate them. We don't platform them. Nazis are guilt free kills. Don't even count as human.
We have never killed kings here. We also stayed out of Nazi affairs for many years. The sentiment is nice, but more than misleading. You got weird history books anon
Not only that, but we also support most dictatorships around the world, we fund genocide, overthrow democratically elected governments, and assassinate people like Lincoln, JFK, & MLK.
Oh shoot you're right, I guess we should all relax and get back to work
THAT'S the spirit!!
I thought that's what I read, thanks for the reality check
Maybe he meant Martin Luther King?
Goddamn, that hits hard.
Dont forget Rodney King
He wasn't killed... barely.
I thought these words exactly but felt they may be too harsh lol
But.. but.. ”zey vere just folloving orders”
Punch-a-nazi would be a great substitute for whack-a-mole BTW
... People can be evil (and even deserve execution) without dehumanizing them. You know, the exact thing we hate them for doing?
People calling you a nazi sympathizer don't know that most people who actively participated as members of the German nazi party were 'normal' people. They lived normal lives, followed the law, and existed in normal society. In reality, most people supporting our current nazi problems will need to be deprogrammed and forcibly pulled back into an accepting society. Its what happened in Germany, not many nazis were charged with crimes.
Similar shit happened in Indonesia after the genocide. People had to go back to being neighbours with somewhat typical people who were former state sanctioned serial killers and enablers. Germany tried to deprogram the youth in the '50s, but yeah. Didn’t stick, for various reasons. Harsh reality.
Still, no society has recovered from fascist or similar regimes without at least some targeted pruning of the tree of life. Putin SHOULD obsess about what happened to Gaddafi and the like. Society has to remember or, well, here we are again.
Are you agreeing with them? If not, It's really just the two weirdos ITT who cannot fathom the idea that bad people are still people.
Nah, Nazis are inhuman garbage
Nazis are human garbage.
As humans, they have human rights... But they also should be punished for their violations of human rights. The law, as it currently stands, is not fulfilling its purpose of punishing bad actions. Thus, it is up to us to punish them.
Punch a Nazi today!
They love that you say this.
Literally never killed a king in their history. The closest they got was killing aboriginal chieftains. Muricans just got salty because the King of England refused to let them colonize the native tribes in the great lakes region (which the crown had declared a self-governing protectorate). Americans declared a revolution and cloaked it in jingoistic hoopla about liberty. They also tried (and failed) to enlist Quebec to join them.
Hey to be fair the US government has killed 1 king in their history, it was just MLK..
Wait wait wait. The Brits were the good guys (in this one, very specific, instance)?
Broken clock, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Proclamation_of_1763
Not the only time. Another example is the West Africa Squadron, where a small part of the British Navy tried to block all slave traffic coming out of West Africa.
The UK has done some insanely horrific things, but it does have some legitimate bright spots in there.
Love it. Sincerely I do.
American: kill kings!
European: amateurs.
Lol.
I know a lot of other social medias censor this idea, but throughout history, a lot of human rights only came about when people rose up to defend it.
That's the story you've been told, it is in fact false. You save and help Nazis flee prosecution and the only kings you ever killed were the original inhabitants of America that you genocided in your manifest destiny.
No amount of chest thumping is going to erase the fact you're already living in the 4th reich and the best you can do about it is shoot some random blogger in the neck. And then you have the gall to ridicule the French...
edit: Like someone mentioned below, the only king you killed was MLK.
I know that Americans will push back eventually, and I'vegot faith but, but the rest of the world is watching and wondering why you haven't yet.
We are pushing back, it's just the US is far more spread out then European countries and protests are purposely not being covered in mainstream media. Not to say we couldn't be better or doing more.
"our country is too big and no one is leading us"
That's it. That's the reason. According to Americans on Lemmy/PieFed/Mastodon/Reddit is the drive to DC is too long. Regardless of where you live. Live in New York? it's a long drive. California? it's a very long drive. Maryland? way too long. Also unlike other countries Americans need a schedule and a specific time and date to do it. Other countries will just hit the streets with no planning, no times or dates, they just know something bad is happening and will leave their homes and protest. Americans don't do that. they NEED someone else to organize for them to tell them something bad is happening and to let everyone know about it on this specific date,at this specific time and to please register online to confirm your attendance.
The actual answer? deep down, the vast majority of americans simply don't care.
Rest of the world: Why haven't you started the bloodiest civil war killing the most Americans of any conflict ever since the last one?
Americans:
Not enough people are starving
The US has put or helped keep more kings in power than they have taken out of power. Also, I would like to point out that King George III did not die in the American revolutionary war.
The intolerance will be met with equal intolerance.
Are you in France? The last king killed by his own subjects was French king King Louis XVI. After that it was probably Tsar Nicholas II of Russia if you count him as a king. America sought independence from monarchy and never took the war to Britain.
I get what you're saying, but I think the whole "mindless, indiscriminate killing of people against us" narrative fits far better with people who fasten political flags to the beds of their pickup trucks and collect guns so they can shoot democrats alongside Jesus come Armageddon day.
It's not that I think there shouldn't be capital punishment for heinous actions, but with both political sides calling each other "nazis" and the right saying the left is violent while ramping up violence, we have to be better about rhetoric and the chance for ambiguity. Lets get better.
The French killed kings and nazis. The British killed kings and nazis. The Polish killed kings and nazis. The Russian killed kings and nazis. And replaced their king with fucking Stalin. The Canadians rebelled and won against a king(winning the right to create their own government) and killed nazis. (You get the idea)
The US was tricked by their upper class into rebelling, and then replaced the king with a pseudo-king. The US started WW2 helping the Nazis
Nazis are certainly human. Not disagreing with the rest of your statements but denying reality doesn't help anything.
People who refuse to relinquish Nazism need to be publicly hanged. Nazism is intentionally harmful.
Did you even read that?
