You left off Hitler being impressed by Henry Ford.

The White House’s new exertion of control over the media finally gets us a perfect 14/14 score according to Britt’s Characteristics of Fascism. Granted, it’s not pass/fail. Things can still get far worse.

Huh......so we passed on all 14......which is a fail.......at least from my perspective. Maga perspective may differ.

Yes, perfectly modeling fascism is a failure. I didn’t want to suggest that we hit bottom just because we checked some boxes. There’s still plenty of room for things to get worse if we don’t do anything to stop it.

I feel like it's unamerican in regards to the values our country espouses, even though it completely and utterly fails to uphold them.

Feels like imperializem merits to be further down the line, if not the last panel.

But yes, good memetics in this meme, gg.

I think the point you're making is true, but the titular argument could still be useful rhetoric to the misguided patriot.

@Confidant6198 most incarcerated???? You mean excluding countries with numbers undisclosed or altered or killed like China or North Korea

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"America doesn't have the most incarcerated if you baselessly assume other countries secretly have more!"

Ok

I hate it when China and North Korea kill numbers. Like I'm just trying to count stuff here and you're telling me that 9 is dead?

[–] MBEverding@mastodon.social -2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

German

absolutely frothing at the mouth at the mention of communism

checks out

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Famines had been commonplace occurrences in feudal China and Russia, which the communist states brought an end to. And those final famines occurred under post-war conditions, and under disastrous crop seasons that affected neighboring states as well.

[–] MBEverding@mastodon.social -2 points 1 day ago

@davel pick up your history book. The famine under mao Zhedong was because of stupidity. He killed all birds that ate all crop eating insects. The famine under Stalin in Ukraine for example was just pure evil. They took the crops from Ukraine to export them not leaving enough to feed the population causing a massive starvation.
