in summary, the US has a long history of fascist ideas and historical trends that exist to this day and framing the US as the "good guys" is infantile and ahistorical

grow the fuck man.

5) this weird idea that somehow "Nazi" is a uniquely cruel and evil thing rather than an extension of historical trends that existed throughout European and US history is fucking ridiculous

6) after all those people fought and died the US hired the Nazi scientists to get to the moon and build ICBMs

3) the US is literally built on genocide, the calculated and cruel displacement and extermination of indigenous peoples became a road map for colonial regimes

4) there was a literally a plot to overthrow FDR led by some of the wealthiest men in the country

1) didn't say the US was always a Nazi country, said the Nazis learned to do eugenics from the US because large parts of the US existed as an apartheid regime post-slavery

2) US corporations had no problem fueling the Nazi war machine, including facilitating the holocaust

no Alexander pre-dates the concept of modern nations and corporations which are requisite for Naziism

but, bad news, when the Nazis wanted to learn how to do eugenics they asked politicians and doctors in the US how to do it (specifically Lynchburg, VA)

the US has a long history of doing fascism

it's funny cause i used to work LA and that is definitely not how EMS works in LA

but once i got past the system, the actual calls were very true to the calls i've run

the twist at the end was umm weird, but i get why they included it

this was pretty fun too: www.listennotes.com/podcasts/ems...

Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

they were also futurists, promising a glorious technological future for everyone they considered worthy

they weren't just conservatives, they knew the power of technological progress as a selling point

Israel isn't complying with the ceasefire agreement (letting in aid, releasing Palestinian hostages, simply not killing people) because the state doesn't want a ceasefire: it wants full liquidation.

Don't allow a complicit media to paint Palestinians at fault for their own genocide.

i am generally skeptical of most depictions of historical villainy, unless it involves the British

cause, yeah, they were that needlessly cruel to everyone

Death and Gravity @bushidosquirrel.bsky.social · 12h

i have never had an experience like that, tbh

it really threw me for a bit, but the shrooms are very concerned about fascism

and i fucking get it!

ummm, Bush tried to takeover the middle east in a reckless imperial conquest

he was a Nazi, as was his dad, and his father before him

it's like how buddhism teaches the full noble truths: right mind leads to right thought leads to right words leads to right action

the opposite is also true

additionally you can run the algorithm backwards and start with right action to lead to right mind

random aside: i did some mushrooms the other day, the trip was largely centered around weird random acts of police violence because the shrooms were trying to teach me that fascism is easy to fall into and also it is bad

we're reaching a fucked up inflection point, was my takeaway
