Only The Best Groomers

Hoo boy there's a little tidbit I'd rather not know

We really should have taken the criticisms of television a million times more seriously. Also environmental concerns, but, i digress.

I really think the left have lost a whole ass generation and don't even realize it.

Her coworkers have dealt with 11 year old boys straight up telling female teachers they don’t have to listen to them because they’re women.

That's hardly new. Obnoxious pre-teens finding any excuse to rebel are just a hazard of middle school life.

Andrew Tate's brand of misogyny is the thing YouTube loves to promote in between Spider-Man Vaccinating Pregnant Elsa and Hysterical Child Unboxing videos. But if it wasn't him, it could just as easily be Blink-182 lyrics or kids immitating what they saw in a Caillou episode.

:D*

No, no, he is right. Republican and Nazi are the same side of the coin.

To quote Hitler "We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity... in fact our movement is Christian."
Speech in Passau 27 October 1928

The Nazis were very much Christian. Claiming otherwise is distorting the facts.

fear of imaginary things, eg: god, is always more potent than any fear of living breathing mortal men, no matter how monstrous they are.

To understand nazis religion it is important to understand religion in germany.

Back in the day, and today is similar in former west Germany, Germany had a fairly even split between catholicism and protestantism.

So the nazi party taking a strong religious dogma either way would had been very harmful towards their objectives, as half the population could refuse to follow a catholic/protestant movement. That's why their leader and the party didn't really seemed to take a strong religious stance. But at the end they were linked to the conservative values that are associated with religion. And his allies, Spain and Italy. Both formed fascist dictatorships very linked with the Catholic church, being their countries homogeneous in that aspect. In fact Spanish dictatorship is often refered as national-catholicism, and Mussolini had full support from the Vatican and the Pope.

At the end fascism, in whichever form and name it takes, tend to link with conservative values that are usually also linked with religion. The nazi party being just an exception due Germany particular religion situation.

Think of it more like the flu. If I caught the flu I might have a temperature, a sore throat, loss of appetite, and headaches. If you catch the flu you might get headaches, diarrhea, exhaustion, and a dry cough.

Fascism is built upon and characterised by the exploitation of the current fissures of a stressed society. It is unlikely to lead to gas chambers and Hugo Boss uniforms as they were part of the specific evolution of fascism in Germany after it was crippled by the loss of the first world war. Usually, there are all sorts of barriers to full blooded fascism that give it part of its local character too as it tries to morph into whatever conglomerate of memes that it can ride to power.

Right now in America the pressure for fascism is being built with the tacit support of a lot of evangelical christians. It is not the whole of the story. It is part of the conglomerate. So the pride flags come down and the ten commandments go up.

I heard some PhD types who had written papers on Hitlers rise one time explain it that even though we can draw parallels to Hitler's rise. It in no way means we should expect another group like the Nazi's to rise to power. They were saying hindsight can say Hitler rose to power because X,Y and Z. But it in no way means that X,Y and Z are what create a Nazi power or means another one is going to show up. That it's wrong to take something like lists that detail the things that contribute to fascism and say its happening now so therefore the other party are the next Nazi power.

I think what the message was that X,Y and Z only shows what could have contributed to Nazi's seizing power but when used with foresight its not accurate.

but the ten commandments in and of themselves have no link to nazi-ism

Yeah nahhh, like the Buddhist symbol was co-opted by the Germans, the commandments are used as a dog whistle by fascists now.

If it was about being Christian they would have used the Beatitudes (words of Christ) not the commandments. If it was about being chest thumping American they'd put the cononsitiution there, speration of church and state etc.

We know WHY they don't use the Beatitudes, because theae fuckers are as close to being Christian as Hitler was to being Buddhist.

Gandhi's famous quote summarizes whats so wrong with Christians doing stupid shit like pinning 10 Commandments to the wall, they have little resemblance to Christ

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ - Mohandas Gandhi

I generally consider the (non-theist) Commandments to generally be generally good rules to live by.

I have to say the non-theist rules because several of them are about God and religion.... Like, having no other gods before [him], not taking the Lord's name in vain, the whole idols thing....

If you take all that theist stuff out, you basically get: don't lie, steal, cheat, or kill, don't covet others stuff, and respect your mother and father.

Pretty decent rules overall. At the very least, a good starting point.

Forcing them into schools despite everyone's First Amendment rights is absolutely Christofascism which people (correctly) call Naziism as an allegory.

The actual Commandments or the deliberate mistranslations?

Because the original flavor is very clearly a list of rules made to enable theocratic control and create a religious apartheid.

You’ve got racist/fascist pieces of shit who aren’t nazis? What are they, lazy? 😄

Because it's not in rainwater, it's in runoff from cities and dairy farms. The chemicals in question are basically synthetic estrogens and their metabolites and frogs are just more sensitive to those in the environment than mammals.

“Socsaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Putting it up at every classroom in the state does.

That's not what is said in the post.
