‘Fact is’ you are confidently oversimplifying the problem, to an extent not dissimilar from me just asserting baselessly that all Germans simply have a natural predisposition toward anti-semitism.

You are insultingly wrong at a more granular level, because you reject nuance, and also lack specific accuracy.

Further, your rhetoric is that of an annoyed complaining person, not the rhetoric of say… I don’t know, maybe constructive solidarity with all anti-fascists everywhere, in a common struggle against a rising tide of global fascism.

…

What you dismiss as a ‘just joking’ stereotype about gunnownership patterns is actually pretty accurate.

There are more privately owned guns than people in the US, but the majority of those guns literally are owned by paranoid, right wing, ‘middle class’, pettite bougieose, suburbanites, who literally have miniature armories of ten + guns and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, who barely ever use them, despite making a huge performative display of being enthusiastically in pro-gun culture.

It is literally just another flavor of ‘keeping up with the joneses’, of conspicuous consumption, analagous to buying a huge expensive car to try to impress your neighbors.

They are the same people who are NIMBYs, they are the same people that vote against every single mass transit expansion or infrastructure revitalization project by way of some kind of tax increase, they are the same people who own between 1-10 additional homes as small time landlords and drive up the cost of living in a vainglorious pursuit of their own climbing of the social strata, the same people who vote against public education and for govt tax dollars instead being used to subsidize racially/religiously exclusive private education only attainable by the wealthier.

Yes, they cause all the problems they can sometimes identify as reasons why they will ‘need’ all those guns, which they largely do not know how to use, nor have any realistic scenarios where they would actually be able to make use of their massive stockpiles, much less transport them.

Their entire ‘strategy’ is destroyed by a wildfire, tornado, hurricane, which they of course also vote to amplify the risk of.

…

But, circling around back to the first section:

You also are promoting a self defeating strategy, by choosing nationalism over trying to gain allies, or even just express sympathy toward the tens of millions of Americans that did everything they could to prevent what is currently happening.

You are laughing at all of them just as you laugh at all our local dumbfucks.

Do you want me to just say that every single German that died before and during WW2 was fully and completely deserving of death?

Every civillian, every child, every resistance fighter, everyone killed in a saturation/firebombing of a heavily populated area, every socialist and communist and anarchist who tried to stop Hitler and ended up thrown into a camp?

That is how offensive and lacking in nuance what you are saying is.

After all, ‘Fact is’ enough Germans voted for Hitler and the Nazis, and willingly and even enthusiastically went along with his plan, therefore they all deserve what they got, no exceptions.

Right?

…

Your ‘difference’ between Trump and Hitler is also facile.

They were/are both megalomaniacal narcissistic sociopaths, the difference of Hitler being much more neurotic and obsessive than Trump’s aloofness and carelessness doesn’t have any relvant import.

Hitler also declared that the German people had failed him, had failed his vision, and said that if his vision could not be achieved, then all of Germany deserved to be destroyed, kept ordering units (or attempting to) into suicidal manuevers, ordered the children and elderly into barely trained volkssturm units who had no hope against veteran Soviet regulars.

This is actually pretty comparable to Trump’s constant firing of anyone who works for him, constant blame shifting to the point of reputation and career destruction of his high level sycophants. Trump also callously disregards the lives of the people he claims to protect, to give just one example, by way of propogating Covid mis/disinfo and fucking up response measures to the point that he indirectly killed a lot more of his own supporters/believers than his detractors.

They are slighlty different flavors of narcissist, wow, what a meaningul distinction.

There’s nothing to discuss. You parroted a dumb observation you saw in a meme and after getting called out, moved the goalposts
