In short, the Nazis were not socialists but in name only.

Evidence of Nazi persecution of socialists: Outlawing socialist organizations: The Nazi Party outlawed socialist and communist parties, dissolved trade unions, and arrested or killed their leaders and members. Targeting of socialist leaders and members: Prominent members of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and Communist Party (KPD) were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps. This included individuals like Ernst Thälmann, leader of the Communist Party, and Rudolf Hilferding, a leading theorist of the Social Democratic Party, both of whom were killed. Concentration camps: Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, was specifically built to imprison political opponents, including communists, trade unionists, and social democrats. Violence and intimidation: Nazi forces, like the SA (Sturmabteilung) and Gestapo, targeted and persecuted socialists, communists, and others who opposed the Nazi Party, leading to violence, arrests, and murders. Suppression of opposition: The Nazis' actions against socialists and other political opponents effectively eliminated organized opposition to their regime, solidifying their power and establishing a one-party dictatorship. Nazi rhetoric against socialism: Hitler and the Nazis often used the term "socialism" in their party name, the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), but their ideology differed significantly from traditional socialism. They rejected Marxist concepts of class conflict and internationalism, instead promoting a form of "national socialism" that aimed to create a racially pure society based on racial hierarchy and nationalism. Hitler aimed to discredit and dismantle actual socialist movements, portraying them as enemies of the state.

I'm not on Tik Tok. Caveier post about someone cashing on "their lies," and all it was was a video saying...we should be less partisan. That was it 47 seconds, less partisan, that's what my book is about. BUT...then it went to the next video... as it does and I found this absolute gem. "What was we ranked Nationally in 1979." Very basic Math...English, soft ball questions that she couldn't even get a piece of!

I'm blaming it on the prime rib and dark rum...

Your gonna fit in here just perfect...

What are we basing that on?

If we were Switzerland...sure. But we're not, we're the largest economy in the world. Strength through peace is the strongest deterrent. There's also a cascading affect that I suspect many people would find appalling if you cut the Military Budget by 90%. You'd be fine in 2025, 2026, 2027... but slowly, China would pass you up. You'd also have to close bases ALL over the World. the Russians now want to go past the Ukraine, yeah, they can do that. China's debt is now about 300% of their GDP... they'd probably benefit from taking Taiwan and Taiwan Semiconductor, one of the 10 wealthiest companies and one of the 3-4 more important to the future of the Global Economy(and some people who don't understand will read that as "globalist," I'm just saying AI and the manufacturing of the GPUs that enable AI will impact every economy in the world). How about when water starts running out in regions of the world? Who do you think gets that? A peaceful distribution? What if France or actually figures out Fusion? That would change the world and whoever had control of that... it would be a monumental advantage over the rest of the world... I think we should definitely cut the defense spending... but by...~10%, maybe 12%. NOT by 90%. I believe we should pay down our debt and the EASIEST way to do that is to pay MORE to Government employees so you can eliminate Government contractors when it comes to defense spending and the like. This also isn't an area that I've spent much time studying, so it may be easier in theory than in application. Maybe we've now ceded too much power to the Military Industrial Complex. Lower Military Spending, other cuts are needed, higher taxes on the top earners. MASSIVE debt for the United States is not unprecedented... not REALLY doing anything about it, that is.

In what world is Rutgers a tier above Minnesota Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. Just... no. Tier 1 - Penn State Tier 2 - Empty Nobody is sniffing Penn State. Ergo, there is no Tier 2. Tier 3 - Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio State Tier 4 - Rutgers, Michigan Tier 5 - Minnesota, Illinois Tier 6 - EMPTY Tier 7 - Maryland, Purdue Tier 8 - Northwestern, Michigan State Might need to move Tier 4 in to Tier 5 and leave Tier 3 on an island as well.

LOL...no, not a word of that was from ChatGPT. I've used ChatGTP and when I've done so, I've put it in quotes to provides sources, but I didn't need ChatGTP to point out that an Ethnocentric Nationalist is an example of the far right just as I don't need ChatGTP to know that Communism is an example of the far left...or that the traditional dichotomy between historical "Left," and "Right," really isn't at all applicable to American Politics, BUT, if you're eager to play that game, I can play. I also understand that... the people who were trying to KEEP segregation in place were, by definition, conservatives. Those trying to change it, again, by definition, progressives(similar to slavery). That's about as surface level as it gets.

Yah. I think we could slash our defense budget by 90% and be fine, if we mind our own business like Switzerland, etc. I know I'm in the minority on that...

If "Pork" is Fraud, then...NEARLY every single Republican(and...likely Democrat for that matter) is guilty and there is NO bigger source of Fraud than our Defense Budged. There have been years where 434 of the 435 districts have gotten money in the way of Jobs or contracts for existing companies...from the DOD. Why do we think that is? SO THEY KEEP SPENDING. We're going to spend 1T this year(or nearly} on defense spending and Trump wants to increase that. This despite the fact that due to companies like PLTR, defense spending SHOULD be going down(at least leveling out as it takes over quite a few jobs that no longer have to be done by people and makes everything so much more efficient). I also think you go too far with saying 90% is waste, but...we can agree to disagree on that. There's no agreeing to disagree that pork=fraud and then defending the GOP and it's Defense spending.

Good pivot! You pretty much completely abandoned the asinine argument you WERE making... though without admitting you just didn't understand what you were saying in the previous post.

Once again, I'm embarrassed FOR you. Appropriating money that YOU think is pork, but that gets passed by Congress, the Senate and signed by the President...that is not Fraud. And now I'm sure you'll switch accounts, and reply to me, but I think we're accidentally exposing a HUGE part of the problem here. Just the pure ignorance that comes with not understanding what the words you're saying mean.

pork is legal fraud

See! See! This person running for office is talking about lowering health care costs.... so that means they MUST have been for an unregulated and unelected group of people going through the budget with no oversight! LOL...what is the logic or connection to this and DOGE? This is like one of those posts where a Democrats talks about getting rid of Waste or Fraud and then someone like Jimmy or Scout/Caveira SOMEONE think THAT point has long been disputed! If THIS is an example of someone being pro-DOGE, then I guess Democrats(and Republicans for that matter) came up with DOGE...over 100 years ago.

I have no idea. I don't really follow California high school wrestling. I wouldn't think they're allowed at Ironman unless the CIF changed the rules about competing with Prep schools.

Omg. Is this real??? Fraud is illegal. Pork is inherent in the wonderful govt our slave owning founding fathers created.

Not saying you are right or wrong. I won’t play that argument. is 97% of what your respond with from chatGPT?

how is pork fraud.. shall we count the ways? for me to funnel money to myself or friends?

LOL... they'd first point out the INSANELY flawed argument with comparing the "Left and Right" in the United Sates with 20th Century Authoritarian regimes being "right or left," in Europe... LMFAO!!!! That's LITERALLY the EXACT opposite of what you've done! I mean, how you can follow that post up with "Did you watch h the video? You can message the PHd and tell him how stupid he is." You're ONLY using an appeal to authority...ironically talking about a "PHd" while you talk about how indoctrinated College professors are...which is just too much hypocrisy for me! So right THERE, you're not referencing FACTS, you're referencing a person. A person who starts out his video with, 'it's so unfair how the right call us Nazi's, can you tell me how that's wrong,' and then he says, 'yeah, they're mean like that in Germany!' You could NOT articulate what conservative and progressive meant when talking about segregation. You cited as your ONLY reason for...several posts the NAME of the Nazi party, so...I'll assume you believe the Chinese and North Koreans are Republicans? You randomly yelled "HITLER WASN'T A GLOBALIST!" When trying to make a coherent argument as to why a Socialist would arrest...socialists and return State owned property to private industry. You also came up with this...REAL Gem! This... really says it all. But hey, we learned that the Chinese and North Koreans are on the right!

As a raging liberal. Is it true u don’t even eat pork. You are probably a vegatanariasm right? ….Spelled wrong on purpose for you internet spelling police

using your words: dumb i agree.

I have always said it should be death to the NCAA but the byproduct will be the death of our sport in the US. Like many other items recently, it has been a good run. Good luck and a prolonged good night.

He is thinking about taking a shot to go somewhere else, but he will probably wait until it's too late
