It's amazing how what we can go back and get from the 1940s, 1930s and it would still be effective and absolutely applies to its complete meaning in this day and unfortunate age we live in. And it's true unlike the propaganda that comes out of media
That’s a paraphrase of Marx’s opening to the Brumaire 18 of Louis Napoleon, likening Napoleon III as the farce of his uncle, whose coup took place on Brumaire 18 on the French revolutionary calendar.
Know what else was Brumaire 18 on the FR calendar? The 2016 election.

as applicable now as then, with the irony of knowing that at the time this was filmed him ranting about catholics and freemasons was being upset at about 30% and 20% of the population respectively. someone complains about 'the queers' today without realizeing thats like one out of every six people
Start with the most marginalized, and make up and repeat atrocious rumors and lies. Dehumanize them, make them into monsters, not normal. Then move on to the next group. Happening in plain sight.
"Big" and "small" government are ridiculous terms, deliberately over-simplified to obfuscate reality. However, fascist governments have historically favoured laissez-faire government which, in those terms, is "small", not "big".
Trump is not reducing the scope of government at all, btw.
What I think you've done here is to mistake firing lots of government workers for "small government". But Trump has given his lieutenants broad discretion to do whatever evil authoritarian shit comes naturally to them, and allows them to overstep their remits without fear of consequence.
The parts he’s blowing up are the guardrails.. IGs, ombudsmen, regulators, anyone who can tell him “no” or can operate independently without his say so. Classic and obvious fascism.
And also just stuff he doesn’t like or that his ‘enemies’ do like, because he’s petty, and it’s a useful distraction.
“Hey, he’s talking about me..ism”, is what destroyed Germany and almost destroyed the world! 🧌waiting until they come for all of us is already being shouted from the PRESS Room!

Yes. You are absolutely right. One of the few things that gives me hope is how most people at these protests seem(ed?) to be there to protect the rights of others. You are at the center of his pathetic culture war, and I am sorry. We are trying. We will keep trying.
Me too. My mother was born in 1924, and since I was tiny I remember her saying "This is a hard life, and if you are lucky you find someone to love. That should make it easier, not harder." I know that she would have supported trans rights as well, so I am doing it for her.
The Moms for Liberty are the new Stazi. They have a snitch line set up to report on educators. Soon they will have people reporting on their neighbors!
Trump Claims Nazis Treated Jewish Prisoners With “Love”
Donald Trump made the unbelievable claim during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Donald Trump gestures while speaking and sitting in the Oval Office🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Trump's gov't is already removing basic human rights, erasing records of accomplished minorities, crashing a recovering economy for their own power & wealth. He needs to be reined in by whatever powers the people have.
That wasn’t always so. The Oxford Press has an excellent synopsis of “The Animal in Ottoman Egypt” by Alan Mikhail. It gives a brief detailing of why Muslims disparage dogs today.
Don’t ya know? White people are the only true victims in an unjust world. Just ask Trump. Better yet, just listen to him. So unloved by mommy and daddy, he has to strike out at anyone who disparages him.
Yes, I think so. Not sure if this is the same one, but there's a movie called A Face in the Crowd that's similar and a novel by Sinclair Louie called It Can't Happen Here.
Oh what you said is true. No argument with that. I just don’t think that’s what the preacher was ranting about. He didn’t even consider indigenous people at all.
USE YOUR BRAIN along with your heart. good advice THEN. good advice NOW. take off the blinders and behold your dear leader NAKED. he's stupid, base and a malignant narcissist who wants something from you: BLIND OBEDIENCE.
Thank you for posting. Magats be like this empty headed, & it only affects the world when it affects them. I feel sorry for people basing their lives on the wealth they generate from stock market. Our allies are doing their best to defy Trump they're actions seem callus, but you guys needed to know.
No one sees the fucked up part about this? We just all put our heads in underwater and blow? Well the person who posted this seems to understand but how far go to hate each other. It dares to bring me to tears. But the Tigris an the Euphrates are dry. Mount kilo McNose has dry valleys.
"Stronger Together" was the motto of Hillary Clinton's campaign. Losing the election it to Drumpf doesn't invalidate the thought. With spirit and a love for equality and justice, we can break the miscreant's livelihood.
I'm getting my popcorn ready for a disaster he deserves.
I think the repuglicants saw this during Nixon's time. It is still a blueprint for the disruption & chaos they sow today.
Reject fascism!
Revolution is now!

In all of history, we have found just one cure for error, a partial antidote against making and repeating grand, foolish mistakes, a remedy against self-deception. That antidote is criticism.... Alas, criticism has always been what human beings, especially leaders, most hate to hear.
- David Brin
The irony is a lot of the billionaire backers are interested in prolonging life, consciousness, and mental clarity.
I can attest that studying history and having a good memory make writing more efficient - I can cite historical examples and make uncommon associations quickly. But I can't sleep.
I get the same nausea and ( I bet) look on my face when my dog has a tummy ache and squirts out things you don’t want to see —/ or smell. The makeup doesn’t fix it. Like pouring whipped cream over rotting raw liver cake.
The kids are being given electronic “portals” to “tell on their teachers” if they are being taught anything “DEI”
This to me sounds like what they asked the Nazi youth to do. Rat out your parents and teachers and find books to burn..! There is no difference. History repeats.
It's insane how we have ceased to invest in messages like this. This film was made by the US Army, and with good reason! Fascism is weakness, not strength. It's a matter of national security to remind people that we're in this together.
Sadly, lots of Americans always think its them whose going to get something out of such talk. And even sadder, some don't care if they barely get anything out of it, as long as someone else suffers and is brought lower so they can be, by comparison, higher and better off.
In today’s snapshot world this film takes far too long to make its point. MAGA would cheer the start and leave before the lesson. That’s our biggest message obstacle
My history teacher in highschool showed us this film clip after our WWII segment. History truly does repeat itself when you have hateful creatures in leadership.
History repeats itself because white & Christian supremacists are essentially stuck in the past. Fascists make history repeat itself because it has been an effective tool to consolidate power, whether in a king or corporation. Some see it as prophecy but it's really a blueprint, a future plan.
It was my father that fought. I think of all he sacrificed, and of those who sacrificed all, and I am deeply ashamed of my siblings. Out of seven, only myself and one sister are sane. The rest have been lost to the stream.
To be fair, we learned it from the Brits…they really kicked the race science off with Darwin. Not knocking him, but you know they had to write a narrative, they made an ugly story. It worked well for classifying their labor pool under heinous conditions.
Darwin's science is still being bastardized today. "Social Darwinism" is not real, and I'm sick of hearing domineering cruel bullies say that it is. Racism and bigotry are not "fitness." Fascism is the most unfit least survival-based thing any human being could ever engage in, FFS.
💯 agree. That’s why I don’t want to be like; Darwin’s fault. He’s just one curious guy trying to make sense of things, other’s read between the lines and create the swill.
Exactly. Fitness as it pertains to adapting to our environment would mean cooperation, not domineering everyone within our species. Diversity within a species contributes to fitness, too. DIVERSITY!
Haha oh yeah, Henry Ford was the wooooorst. He bought newspapers and funded a racist and antisemitic propaganda campaign. The more you research him the worse he is. He was kind of like a Trump of his day apparently.
I grew up in the Jim Crow South and have been saying it’s the Klan all over since 2015, but no one would listen. We are just weeks away from having ‘separate but equal’ (but not really) facilities: bathrooms, water fountains, schools, hotels, restaurants. Welcome to the 50s South.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 They are allowing kidnapping and trafficking of innocent men who happen to have tattoos. Some of these people will not only allow but encourage anything that ‘owns the libs’.
Why the Freemasons? Back when America was known as the nation of Joiners, people wanting to always associate & conform to group actions & group identity. Of course conservatives forgot their own identity politics as if only liberals do it. Now, MAGA, the big group to join for all of the deplorables.
Zionism too. Many of these brainy academic philosophers shared the same ideas, were in the same intellectual circles, subscribed to similar viewpoints about the world, they just differentiated in their conclusions as to what to do about it. Russia again had its hand in planting the stories & myths.
All of the European colonizers learned from the sadistic practices of the other "Christian Nations" involved in spreading God's Word. They literally practiced psychological & physical abuse which they learned from a thousand years of mind control of European peasants. The brutal methods were shared.
Canada didn't learn that from America, both Countries were immigrated by the English.
I've traveled a lot and every country does have it's issues.
Some more than others.
America was not a penal colony for England.
Australia was a penal colony for England.
Sorry, I had thought you were talking about America.
Canada also began as British colonies and has a history of abusing indigenous North Americans. America was also brutal to native Americans. But Canada can't blame America for what Canada chose to do.
That's why we must ensure our elections are safe. Starlink cannot provide Internet/data to polling centers for use with the recording and tabulation of votes anymore & shouldn't have been allowed to in '24. random Full hand counts, not 10%, 100% and any significant discrepancies investigated.
There's literally no way you can trust another election unless it is rigorously verified by multiple third parties. Why? Because this regime lies. They lie about everything. They exert pressure on people to lie. They leverage power to get people to lie. They obfuscate & punish the truth.
I think we will need to restructure our economy and our government to never allow a small group of people to hurt so many people ever again. No more billionaires. No Citizens United. We’ll need to claw back all the money and assets from all these people and any billionaire who’s supported them.
yes, people still don't understand, we, the masses, the proletariat, the serfs, the peasants, the workers are both the manufacturers and buyers of goods, the rich can't get rich without us. People need to see how much power a national labor strike for 1 day has on profits, also restrict buying.

The GOP have been working on that 4 decades now. It's been so long that we now have a language barrier. Sounds crazy but it's true. This all got its massive start in the 50's cuz that's when we changed our motto. Blurring the definition of our Patriotism.
Don’t forget about DEPORTING Mercan citizens?! Da fuck? To where - El Salvador? I hope yall 90mil ppl who didn’t vote, talkin’’bout deep state & Biden Palestine genocide Russian propaganda - get ready b/c u’r gonna get ur wish! Madness!
This is a great PSA. I wanted to share with my maga siblings, but the title "Don't be a Sucker" (even though right on) seemed like too much of an insult to get them to watch.
The first time it was a tragedy, the second time it's a farce / outside it's 1933 so I'm hitting the bar 'cause I don't know what's going on anymore / the world outside is burning with a brand new light and it isn't one that makes me feel warm DON'T GO MISTAKING YOUR HOUSE BURNING DOWN FOR THE DAWN
This film should have been shown in every high school, every year from the time it was made!
This was BARELY COVERED during my high school years (1980's)!
Great clip. But it’s history. Who pays attention to that? I think it’s Paul Lukas as the professor. He too was from Hungary, had a career in Germany, fled from Nazis to USA. That would be huge mistake today. Frying pan to fire.
US Army produced film mixing actors, footage from allies in was & footage from a the axis powers' fighting viewpoints confiscated by the US as Berlin etc fell, mixed in it for the soldiers who were still training b4 being deployed.
The good thing is that solidarity is strong and people refuse to be split over minor stuff like the progressive/decent majority remains so and isn't really falling for these tricks. America won't lose ! 🇺🇸

All the riff raff from the Brits came to a new land, committed a genocide on the natives and became worse than the British.
They became their own thing.
Did not know that! Thanks for that tidbit!

Racism is everywhere and Australia is awfully full of it.
We were taught it was a Penal colony for the UK way back in elementary school.
Horrible crap that's everywhere!
