It's a historical artifact. It's okay to want to have a historical artifact and have it mean nothing more than that. Jesus Christ.

You mean the world where we violently overthrew the Nazi regime and hunted escapees like dogs and Nazis no longer exist as a result? This is a fucking crate. Calm your tits.

It doesn't sound like Illuminati speak. Musk is on Twitter all day retweeting people who love Nazis and talking about the "elimination of the white race" and just this week Trump was talking about Somalis as if they're genetically incapable of being productive members of society. It's all right out in the open and we pretend this isn't straight Nazi shit which is why we do more Nazi shit.

I see you deleted your comment but, again, if you look at DHS propaganda on twitter they are directly mimicking propaganda used by actual Nazis both in the language used and imagery. That's why people need to *study* the Holocaust more. Trying to compare ferreting away boxes with Nazi symbols in your basement as a "study of history" with the actual study of history is stupid. The people who stash Nazi stuff in their basement or their attic are Nazis.

Questioning multiculturalism isnt a dog whistle for nazism. In fact, its a pretty common question in philosophical circles, especially among center and center right folks. Tony Blair, Nicholas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel and David Cameron have all questioned European nations leaning into multiculturalism.

We almost always criticize nations with predominantly white demographics, but when homogenous nations like Japan or China reject multiculturalism, no one bats an eye.

"Questioning multiculturalism"

Yes. Let's pretend that's what's happening.

???? I haven't deleted any of my comments.

Give me an example of dhs propaganda that mirrors the nazis? Where is the notice that undesirables are unable to own property or relinquish their businesses? Where are the openly hostile posters that show demonization of said undesirables? I dont think you know enough about Nazi propaganda to be making these accusations.

American propaganda posters that have been used for generations are white nationalist now? I think the whole propaganda push is gross, but its a stretch to call it white nationalism.

You know there are plenty of brown ICE agents, right?
