MAGA's Violent Threats Spike as Little Girls Threatened With Rape



MAGA’s Violent Threats Spike as Little Girls Threatened With Rape
Donald Trump’s win continues to bring out the very worst in his supporters.

https://newrepublic.com/post/188230/donald-trump-maga-violence-threats-girls-rape

The re-election of Donald Trump—a court-described rapist who famously said he could do anything he wants to women, including “grab ‘em by the pussy”—to the White House is having immediate ramifications for gender relations across the country, with young boys and men alike weaponizing the misogynistic rhetoric of the country’s soon-to-be 47th president against their female counterparts.

Across social media, young men are parroting white supremacist, Hitler fan, and far-right political pundit Nick Fuentes, who wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Your body, my choice. Forever,” hours before the election was even called in Trump’s favor.


But the language has seemingly spilled from the digital ecosphere into daily life, as well, with parents reporting that young boys were caught leveraging the overtly objectifying language against girls in school.

School officials Minnesota issued a notice to parents on Friday that they were aware of “misogynistic… transphobic, and homophobic memes and messages” directed toward students in nearby school districts, including the phrase “your body, my choice.”.....................

Someone would grab her and they would pull their arm back and their arm would not be there.

Actually I think it would be a good idea for liberals and lefties right now to start local self-defense meetings that use something called defendu. Look that one up. It was created by a British officer that had the beat in Shanghai in the early 19th century. He had to fight to the death just to arrest someone.

It is super basic and hard to teach because just about every move is intended to end the interaction. But still it is good for saving yourself from an attack by a hostile person. I just remembered the guys name Fairebain I think. I'll have to look it up too. There's a PDF online that has the system on it. There's another called "fight back" I think that was sent to UK women when it looked like the Nazis might actually invade.

Attacking the eyes, the ear slap, throat chops, groin kicks, thumb breaking and so on.
It's very hard to train in it, because there's not a safe way to practice against someone.
It also takes some mental conditioning because some people might be resistant to intentionally breaking a joint or gouging an eye. It requires burying one's conscience and taking a "him or me" mindset.
Not that easy for some.
Also difficult is that many of those moves require letting the opponent get close, which is counterintuitive.

It is a fast way to create some confidence in life or death situations. That's why versions of it are were used by militaries.

But a heavy bag and a friend to practice grappling with would also help a kid.

They need to know what a physical confrontation feels like.

After that there are better ways to learn self defence.

I believe he can marry her or not, but he is supposed to pay a fine. Most of them can’t afford a wife so just fine him, say $50 grand. Good fines might work better than jail. Most people seem to love money more than anything else.

Voters told all our children that to get ahead it’s okay to be a criminal and ignore the law. To be a real man, it’s okay to sexually assault girls and women. To be successful, it’s okay to lie and cheat. This is the role model the party of family values chose for all our children. Boys are to be exalted, girls are just trash to be used and thrown away, just as young women are to be used as baby machines and then discarded because they have no use when they cannot make babies.

They don't need to know what they are saying to be dangerous. Interesting how Black youth are seen as such a threat, while little white Nazis are just boys who don't know what they're saying.

Kristallnacht, literally, "Night of Crystal," is often referred to as the "Night of Broken Glass." The name refers to the wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms which took place on November 9 and 10, 1938. This wave of violence took place throughout Germany, annexed Austria, and in areas of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia recently occupied by German troops.

The violence was instigated primarily by Nazi Party officials and members of the SA (Sturmabteilung: commonly known as Storm Troopers) and Hitler Youth.

...

Violence began to erupt in various parts of the Reich throughout the late evening and early morning hours of November 9–10. At 1:20 a.m. on November 10, Reinhard Heydrich, in his capacity as head of the Security Police (Sicherheitspolizei) sent an urgent telegram to headquarters and stations of the State Police and to SA leaders in their various districts, which contained directives regarding the riots. SA and Hitler Youth units throughout Germany and its annexed territories engaged in the destruction of Jewish-owned homes and businesses. Members of many units wore civilian clothes to support the fiction that the disturbances were expressions of 'outraged public reaction.'

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/kristallnacht


While the image of millions of German boys being taught how to be good fascists is totally terrifying, it's easy to assume that the Hitler Youth were largely harmless. They were, after all, just a bunch of kids in ersatz Boy Scout uniforms, marching around play-acting at being Nazis, right? As reported by The History Place, not so much. In fact, the jolly kids in the Hitler Youth participated in violence against Jews and other minorities in Germany. On Nov. 9, 1938, when Nazis carried out the infamous anti-Jewish pogrom known as Kristallnacht, the Hitler Youth were voluntary participants in the violence and vandalism. No one had actually ordered the kids to take part — they did so totally on their own.

As Time notes, that wasn't an isolated incident. Hitler Youth members are known to have aided in many of the horrifying acts carried out against Jews. In one incident in Vienna, Hitler Youth forced Jewish people to clean the streets with their toothbrushes, and they participated in raids on synagogues in which holy relics were destroyed. The kids were definitely not all right.
