    So basically anyone who works in the United States is Hitler?

    Because by working you literally support those things.

    I am being somewhat facetious. Y’all are just being self righteous with this spam kind of post. Virtue signaling nonsense to make yourself feel better.

          Who is “y’all”. That’s quite the generalisation to make when making such a major accusation.

          Anyway this entire conversation is idiotic. When talking about supportting certain things, unavoidable support like being born in a place and thus having to pay taxes was obviously not what was being discussed.

          You should probably do some introspection rather than continuing to lash out.

                    Again those rank and file guys are usually proudly republican conservatives that’s not who I’m talking about, and those unreachable would never say the first part of the comic. That’s my point. This person that’s a Nazi is always proud. If they aren’t then we can sway them. Or shouldn’t we try?

              Hey Nazi sympathizer…

              Just because people don’t want to spend time with you because you’re, well… A Nazi sympathizer, doesn’t mean that excluding people like you from society is a bad thing.

              In fact, it is our duty as a society to exclude people like you from society by any means necessary. It just must suck for you that it means people call you things like “Nazi sympathizer” and don’t invite you to parties.

              You must be very lonely in your life. And that genuinely makes me happy. Maybe you should reflect on your belief system and how you wanting people like me to not have rights is what is alienating you from others.

              Funny, I seem to recall someone spelling out specifically what the disagreement would have to be about in order to be compared to Hitler, yet here you are saying its everyone. One might come to the conclusion you’re an idiot or you can’t read or that you might not have a functional memory - Like some sort of bot. What else could the explanation be?

              I am probably more left than you are, this shit is bad for any movement you support.

              I support the “don’t commit a genocide” movement. Keeping genociders out of the movement is a positive. If you support genociders, then you are not leftist.

      Anyone currently working for the US military or one of its contractors is either complicit in or actively committing genocide, yeah. That’s not an outrageous thing to believe. One of the only modern American soldiers I can respect is Aaron Bushnell, the air force member who martyred himself in front of the Zionist Entity’s embassy in 2024. That’s the minimum level of awareness I would expect out of anyone participating in Amerikkkan empire.

      Anyone of a normal political ideology would seek to make the United States extinct. It’s a country administered by clownish nazi pedophiles and doesn’t deserve to be defended.

          Yeah which is why I’m politically active in the hopes of dismantling the machine. I do what I can in spite of me being an Amerikkkan. However if someday a group of Maoist third-worlders were to suddenly take power and deemed me an imperialist or something, I would probably ask for leniency but I’d spiritually understand if they would rather execute me. Like I’m imagining being lined up against the brick wall and being asked if I have any last words and it would probably be like “damn y’all are cool.” My dream would finally have come true: a society where a person like me is executed for being a reactionary.

          The argument is that people like you and the person on the left in the comic hide your true beliefs because you know they are vehemently unpopular among pretty much anyone with any sort of decency or a soul. You know what you believe, like trans people shouldn’t get healthcare, immigrants are evil, and the capitalist class should rule. Yet you bury that because if it ever came out to people around you because they would isolate you faster than you could understand.

          We all know the argument. You just don’t realize you are the argument.

            Wrong.

            You don’t know me. I’m actually some of those things you think I hate. You’re just being cruel because you thought I made myself a free target for you. I literally disagree with everything you said.

          I wish you Reddit losers would actually learn what “ad-hominem” means rather than treating it like a magical debate incantation.

        It’s virtue signaling because it’s a low bar. This is ridiculous right now.

        You’re dunking on a 3 foot basket.

          Right wing educated idiots makes dunking on 3ft baskets really easy. You basically put the ball in the basket for us.

        Non-americans and criminals pay american taxes too, but don’t get to participate in the ritualistic choosing of which flavor boot steps on their neck. Checkmate. 🤓

        (Idk this was a lot funnier in my head as a half baked idea, I can’t compete with this quality meme lol)

        Edit: I got it! Thank you for letting me be both an american war criminal and a canadian war criminal 🙏

        Facetious is an adjective that means treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor, flippancy, or lightheartedness, or saying something that is not meant to be taken seriously or literally.
