Today's Tiedrich rant: fascist fuckery intensifies in Springfield



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/fascist-fuckery-intensifies-in-springfield

here’s a fun, cool thing those madcap Nazis did in Germany in the 1930s: every time a Jewish person ended up on the wrong side of the law, it was blown up into national news. it didn’t matter how small or insignificant the infraction — there it was, splashed all over the the front page of Der Stürmer. Neues Volk regularly published photos of Jews, alongside write-ups of their their supposed crimes.

“Jewish Criminality,” the Nazis labeled it. “the Jew is outside the law” was the message to be hammered home. oh, and if it were some financial crime at the center of the story — tax avoidance, or bank fraud — the compliant, Nazi-adjacent press had a fucking field day.

this constant barrage of ‘every Jew is a criminal’ propaganda was so effective, that by the time the Nazis started carting Jews off to concentration camps, the average German citizen was all what the fuck took you so long?

all of which should make what’s going on in America in 2024 send shivers up every decent person’s spine.

Tiedrich has a point here, and it's not Nazis vs. Jews in 1930s Germany.

He explains that the KKK is behind this anti-Haitian demonstration in Springfield, and he has several examples of KKK activity. Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."
