Political Memes

Because nazis are dumbfucks regardless of ethnicity

Two things people forget:

1. Spanish people were the first Europeans to colonize the Americas, setting the precedent for the violence and discrimination which has continued for the last 500 years.
2. The longest lasting Fascist country in Europe was Spain, which was fascist from 1939-1975.

Most Hispanic people are highly balkanized and consider themselves to be "the good hispanics".

They are ripe to adopt fascism because their identity was forged by a system of Spanish-Catholic authoritarianism.

Cubans in Florida pushing for Trump was not on my bingo card, for sure.

I also remember seeing “general chat lobby” spammers switching from the boilerplate racism tropes to Portuguese and learning about Brazilian troll farms.

I once suddenly saw a Harley motorcycle parked in central Mexico in front of a bar. It was painted. It had swastikas all over, a buste painting of Hitler on the gas tank and a whole lot more third riech shit.

I decided to wait out the Arian asshole that would take it for a spin but imagine my surprise when this tiny very dark skinned indigenous guy somewhere in his 50s walks out wearing a jacket with Goebels painted on the back, he jumpy up the motor cycle and takes off.

The guy would have been at the front of the line to the showers, but whatever. I'm always really impressed with people not knowing basic history.

Reminds me as well, I once saw (also in a Mexican store) mein kampf right next to Anne Frank's diary, "because they're about the same subject matter"

Did I mention that one time while playing paintball with mexican police, one of the officers takes off his shirt and he's full American history X with the swastika and some SS tattoos on his chest?

Yeah mexico needs to uppen it's education about WWII

As someone from Latin-America, I think this happens for a number of reasons, including:

1. The legacy of colonialism: The spanish caste system left a strong imprint on latin american culture tha hasn't disappeared yet. This basically boils down to: Ligth skin good, dark skin bad. T

2. Right-wing propaganda through the internet: The terms "SJW", "Woke" "Forced diversity" and whatnot have become very widespread in the hispanic internet. You can go to any hispanic forum and you will find people complainig about "wokies ruinning their videogames/movies, etc"

3. US-backed anti-socialist propaganda: The US pretty much killed all leftist movements in Hispanic-america during their infancy. When it didn't kill them, it still acted with hostility towards them. On the contrary, far-right movements were tolerated if not supported directly. This has created the perfect environment for the far-right to prosper.

There are probably other reasons, but these are almos certainly involved

Because propaganda is something else. We have a term for them, "morenazis" (something like brown-skin nazis").

One of the reasons I got so bored with Reddit is that in the largest sub of my country, r/Colombia, there's a clusterfuck of right-wing neckbeards obsessed with politics who truly believe the world and the country is as they learn from it from social media (not only from Twitter or Facebook, but even from Reddit and 4chan themselves) and live inside a bubble, most probably protected by mommy and daddy. I recall those morons making fun of people watching open air TV because they think everybody should be watching streaming services, in a country where about half of the people don't have access to the internet, another chunk don't even have a TV and there's people with no access to electricity at all. Hell, at this very moment there are kids dying from hunger. At the time I left they even created at least a couple more subs to openly ventilate their stupidity, r/ColombiaReddit and r/ChomposCol.

So, it's kind of privileged and near-sighted people with the IQ of a potato blaming less fortunate people for issues their class have caused in the first place.

It's not that surprising. I have this same feeling with other Hispanics when they're Catholic. Like you know why you're Catholic right? The ones that weren't were murdered, tortured, or jumped off cliffs.

There are always members of marginalized groups that try and align with what they see as the way to get ahead, so even if that group sees them as less, it's still better than the ethnic group they belong to is seen by that hate group.

Look at POC in groups like the Proud Boys for example.

Hitler didn't have a problem with ethnicities that he would not have considered "Aryan" as long as they stayed out of Europe. That was his thing, he wanted Europe to be an Aryan ethnostate.

This is so old, I remember when most people’s memories of Adolf crimes were still really fresh, Idi Amin put up a statue of Hitler. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin

Control the flow of information and you control the masses. Old lesson, but relevant.
