No idea why he's doing it but I love the cries of betrayal from these swine
Denouncing hitler probably has absolutely no harm to a modern fascist movement, and only gain. Modern fascists don't have to call what they want to build fascism, they can just be esoteric and take power, they can hide behind "we denounced hitler" to befuddle people about why they're being called fascists, this muddies the water on fascism.
This is quite unlike communists who are forever tied to previous communist projects and must defend them or else have people assume "communism is nice on paper but its application has proven that it doesn't work". The fascists are unburdened by the constraints of honesty.
The power to just fucking lie all the time, and have a core that is fine with the lies and bullshit because in a liberal society they have nothing to lose.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.
The Hogfather is the Discworld Santa clause equivalent with a novel about him thst was made into a very charming TV miniseries. The Hogfather is cool, you leave him turnips and sherry and he leaves gifts.
Can't wait to bust out this fresh Jones quote next time an annoying lib is trying to blame the Soviets as being "just as bad" as Nazis. "Why are you to the right of Alex Jones? Are you an inter-dimensional space alien, sir? Galactic law dictates that all space aliens must divulge their dimensional status upon request!"
You never have to hand it to Alex Jones (disgusting human being) but isnt he literally to the left of many liberals on Israel / Palestine ? Probably for wrong reasons but still...
He said something about it after the western food aid people got murdered. I consider Jones to be similar to Trump in that he can kinda read a room and tell when it's time to change position. Neither really hold much of an identifiable ideology besides making money/staying in power. Even Trump kinda said something like "come on, guys... gotta wrap it up!" to some pro-Israel people a couple weeks ago.
Bit idea: Alex Jones pulls a reverse Kanye, starts saying openly communist shit, gets a lot of attention for like a month and then drops off the face of the earth.
He use to sell coffee made by the Zapatistas and would talk them up in his sales pitch, although he tried to make them seem like American-style libertarians who were rebelling against the Mexican government
it's not hard for modern fascists to repudiate Hitler. fascism is an ideology obsessed with power and display of power, and Hitler is unambiguously a loser. also, his style of fascism is extremely antiquated in the modern day.
"Um actually im not Hitler fan, im a classical Fascist and im actually a follower of this late 19th century Italian Philosopher called Maximo Fascismo"
The weird part is that a bunch of them claim to follow Mussolini, but Mussolini is even more of a loser than Hitler and it makes no sense if you're obsessed with "winning" and "strength"
No joke, they think that “world Jewery” declared war on Germany first and that therefore Germany was just defending itself or something completely insane like that
The baby brain take here seems to be that Germany was only defending itself from Poland's aggression (Ab 5 Uhr 45 wird zurückgeschossen - Hitler) and that England and France declared on small bean Germany first.
And of course it is a dogwhistle about the jews, it always is.
Hahahaha he even framed it in the most fascist way possible, and the hogs still came running to the trough! "Hitler's worst crime was getting so many Aryans killed!"
“This is the breakdown with society, and if you don’t let somebody have sex with your car, you’re a homophobe, you’re a bigot, you’re a horrible person,” he said.
Mr Jones, I want to fuck your F-150's tailpipe and you will be cancelled if you decline.
