The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.
The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)
The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.
Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.
Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.
The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.
The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.
The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.
today i told my manager "just because i can handle anything doesn't mean i should have to" and if that isn't just the motto of my life
Good tags OP
it's the working class struggle!
I have friends at Indiana University and they've been saying there are snipers on IU Bloomington campus. And theres a bunch of cops everywhere. This is wild.
They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven’t had your “third” death. You decide to find out why.
You sold some shitty copper, man, I don’t know what to tell you
Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:
- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain
- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck
- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap
- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill
- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard
- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style
Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
OH, YOU'RE CRYING???
Over this??? Seriously??? What tf is wrong with y'all? Grow tf up. Anyway - enjoy!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
“if you’re working a full time job you should be able to afford to live on your own and have access to food and transportation” gonna be real with you brother. everyone deserves this. Not just people working 40 hrs a week
Hey, I made a silly quiz about the early-2000's internet if anyone wants to take it!
The Relic
You were there. You were immersed in the early-2000's internet and it still has a hold on you. You remember it fondly and you probably say "back in MY day" to the young whippersnappers of the Net.
The Clueless
You've heard whispers in the dark about the Old Ways, but you never sought to understand. You see but you do not comprehend.
The relic
Am shocked lol
btw if any of y’all are following me and you’re a Zionist get the fuck off my follow list!!!!!!!!!
I actually lost followers but I do not give a shit because I do not want people who approve of genocide following me
THESE TWO TOXIC PIECES OF SHIT MUST GO!
this is the kind of shit I think about when someone starts in on the Dean-the-caretaker song and dance. like, this is early S7. Sam is clinging to reality with white knuckles, with Lucifer whispering in his ear, and yet somehow he’s the one who’s coddling Dean’s emotional state, which is “almost feeling some regret about having stalked and murdered Sam’s friend.”
and yet somehow Dean’s the ~giver and Sam’s the ~taker
I thought the same damn thing when I rewatched. Like… WHY is Dean getting questions about how he’s doing when he has barely anything to be upset about while Sam is LITERALLY fighting off Hell. Comparatively, Dean’s pain is laughable to Sam’s, yet Sam constantly checks in on Dean and stows his own pain while Dean gets to throw fits and be passive aggressive.
Had it been the other way around and Dean was suffering Hell memories, Dean most definitely would NOT be checking in with Sam to see how he was doing with any struggle he may be suffering from, and more than likely he would probably berate him and point out how ridiculous Sam’s suffering is compared to his own.
SOMEHOW though, Dean gets to do this no matter WHAT.
It’s gross that the fandom clings to stories of Dean being a caretaker to Sam but ignore blatant examples of him being shitty like this, over and over. Sometimes I think it’s because the narrative tells instead of shows, sometimes, that the fandom remembers selectively, but I’m wrong. I give them too much benefit of the doubt. The narrative shows Dean being a dick just as often as it tells of Sam’s suffering, but the fandom really does just actively choose what to buy into and what not to.
idk, this went off the rails but basically, all that to say I agree.
Dean is NOT sams care-taker or even given a sht about him in a long long looooong time….don’t let him fool you like he fooled sam
Dean is a weak-ass stupid moron of a man that uses “love” as a manipulation tactic n abuses sam to death over n over - literally in s5 n s8 at least to hide his own failures n weaknesses
Dean gets increasingly worse n worse n… n we just…..let him…n adore him n make excuses for him even ….ugh humanity sucks….
Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?
It's "mne-eeh-t." "Mne-eht" said with that soft tongue on the upper palette French sound or "mee-yet". I put the "n" because the pretty tongue roll on the "y" kinda sounds "n"-like to me.
I've been saying it Mee-yet in my head. Like the French word for "crumb."
Yeah, mee-yet
somehow the poor cops who we were told are simply too understaffed and underpaid because of Woke to deal with 'rampant rising crime' have found the strength to beat the shit out of college students across the whole country for peacefully saying "divest from the country killing innocent palestinians in the tens of thousands"
