Yeah this is one of those things that doesn't really require an explanation.

Normal people know exactly what is happening.

MAGA also knows exactly what is happening.

Centrists on the otherhand confidently say to their kids "Nah, we shouldn't risk overreacting let us wait until it is too late before we get worried!"

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Right? I keep hearing, "They're not fascists/Nazis [yet] because they haven't done [blank]." Are they waiting for when people are getting loaded into ovens? I feel like that's well past the point of no return.

past the point of no return

Yep! Thats the idea!

Are you? Are the people saying that in the room with us now?

[–] AlexanderTheDead@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

? Are you just stupid? Do you genuinely not believe that any centrists think this way? You would be so confidently wrong to the point where you no longer get to have a valid opinion on any thing, because I would have to double check every claim you ever make, that's how stupid that claim would make you.

This whole exchange:

Everyone is saying it all the time!

No they're not.

I hear this all the time.

No you don't.

Well, some people, somewhere are saying it, I'm certain they are.

[–] AlexanderTheDead@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I just want to clarify.

You think that, when someone accuses the current administration of being Nazis, there AREN'T a bunch of self-described "centrists" that defend the Nazis and say that the left is overreacting?

To clarify, THAT is what is being talked about. Is THAT what you think isn't happening?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Where exactly are you hearing this and from who? I can't think of a single instance IRL.

Yeah, that's literally not happening. But fun story!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Where are you hearing this, IRL? Not once during this administration, or the last, have I heard "overreacting" except from the right.

Centrists

Not once ... have I heard "overreacting" except from the right.

Cut a "centrist" and a right-winger bleeds.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yes, very cute. Where have you actually heard "overreacting"? IRL or online, either way.

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Literally the entire lead up, every single... Its what my fucking name is about

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Name names. Where are you hearing this?

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You want me to name everywhere for the entire century to now? Do you just have a gas lighting fetish?

Also, I don't cite sources for disingenuous assholes. Prove you actually care.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A purge of the hierarchy, you say. Why does that sound so familiar?

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know how anybody can not see it.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago

Lots of former anti-2A homies been looking into party sticks recently.

I swear the right is trying to incite it

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Libs don't though. They cannot understand.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're pardoning criminals to help them

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They really think they can do the Nazi regime better don't they?

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 25 points 1 day ago

Many of them are female and/or non-white. The rest aren't diehard Trump supporters or considered likely to rebel against illegal orders from Trump.

Russian takeover in progress ,

[–] cornshark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought WorldNews was not supposed to be US focused?

[–] Fermion@mander.xyz 12 points 1 day ago

Normally I would agree with this take, but a corrupted US military is a problem for the whole world. See Venezuela.

I hope someone is finding them and bringing the tolerant among them into the revolution.
