My parents lived in post-war Germany, renting an apt from a 'nice' german family. They claimed being a Nazi was like being part of a political party. They didn't 'know' about the camps or anything. They were 'innocent'.
You prove my point perfectly this is what I’ve been saying. I’m tired of Democrats being nice fuck that shit it’s time to get don’t back down. Don’t back off and don’t ever stop!
The people who went along were never nice. There’s no need to stigmatize a word historically used to describe good qualities. We fall into this trap every effing time.
I am still hurt finding out 2 friends voted for trump & have been pretending to care about people
When I called them out money was more important than women or gay rights
Growing up, I was taught to never make waves and stuff down my own opinions and feelings for the sake of being "nice". While in therapy, I learned the difference between being "nice" and being kind. I choose kindness. I do not choose being "nice".
I was so trained as a young person to be "nice." Very freeing to've found my anger & agency since the GWB era. After 45 & the GOP lickbootery, I'm channeling Malcom X!
So true Jess, I can’t get my head around what’s happening in the US, it’s terrifying and exhausting in equal measures. Pleased to be at the bottom of the planet atm
Yep, that is the saying. And I'm getting too many of those kinds of comments. But 'mah mental health'. If they think their mental health will improve under Nazis...
This. Go onto Facebook and see how many of your secretly MAGA leaning “friends” are talking about trivial BS. They are trying to be inconspicuous. But they stand out because they aren’t reacting to what’s going on in a normal way.
It's funny, because I'm on a few blocklists where I've been called out as being "Not nice". And no, I am *NOT* nice to Fascists, Fascist Apologists, TERFs, and Genocide Apologists (Be it right wingers, liberals, or Tankies).
the people cheering shackled deportations
also cheered lynching and slave importations
and camps to put people who meet the criteria
to punish and cause general mass hysteria
it is time for the grownups to put babies to bed
because the clowns in their circuses won't let us eat bread

Yes. And I'm afraid nice people sense what you're referring to. Nice people spend a lot of time figuring out manners. These days, where I live, "nice" is not a compliment. Following their current "rules," nice people avoid using the word nice and even mock its use. Which only makes more opacity?
Weekends are really bad for Democracy since January 2025. When Americans leave their government jobs on Friday at 5, the wrecking crew comes in. They spend the weekend guzzling energy drinks, eating take out pizza, and inserting themselves into “protected” software!
This is how I feel about my Maga evangelical relatives so sweet syrupy, sweet. Tell me I shouldn’t feel my emotions. They would be willing to let somebody else push the button on me.
My dad voted for Trump x3 and he has always used cliches like don’t rock the boat and would look the other way if something terrible was happening to people he didn’t like.
I’ve got immigrant neighbors from Mexico and Brazil and they’re good people. My dad would probably report them to ICE.
I always remind folks who say, “I thought you were the tolerable left?” that they shouldn’t generalize because they don’t know shit about me and I’ve never been tolerant of the disrespectful or disgraceful. ☺️ Sure as hell won’t start now! 😂

What’s the saying “Evil triumphs when good people do nothing”?

Resist!!!
Still too many “nice” people who just can’t be bothered with politics.
Be a *good* person. Focus on that.
“When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a CROSS” - because that is the role that “nice people” play!

Until then, they can fuck all the way off
