I don’t even know what the feeling I have is anymore. It’s like.

I mean, truly, I have never HATED anything like I hate these people. It makes me uncomfortable.

Let the hate flow through you, young Skywalker...

If the regime in Iran falls, mango man will expect all the credit.

Edit. He will take all the credit.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi looks very much like Vítor Pereira post hair transplant.

It's impossible for me to square anymore.

You learn all these things about how awful the Nazis were, the... I mean, what even is the word to describe them? Worse than inhuman. When we learn about WW2 in school here, there is no wiggling whatsoever: these people were bad, evil, point blank period (uh, just don't ask where we got Wernher von Braun from).

And then you see people defending a man casually strolling away from having just murdered a woman, with nearly a dozen cameras pointed at him, carrying on as if it's all business as usual. And suddenly the Nazis weren't bad guys anymore. After all, if you didn't want to be kidnapped or killed by the SS, you'd simply have done whatever they told you, all the time. That'd keep you safe, right?

Right?

It's terrifying.

I've mentioned before that I was at the Dachau concentration camp in the summer, and the place just reeked of evil. Just horrible.

But of course, they have a load of display boards explaining the background, and what was done by the Nazis both before getting elected and afterwards in terms of trying to get people on board by othering everyone else.

And you know what? I knew the history already, but it really brought home exactly how much Trump and Farage act today in the same way as the Nazi party in the 1933-36 period, and are proceeding along the same playbook. It's utterly terrifying - and why I have absolutely zero time for those that make excuses and support either of them. They absolutely ARE Nazis, just right now the mid 1930s versions, not yet the 1938-1945 versions that people claim they're "nothing like".

He Can Command Troops. He Cannot Command Cheers.

The Trump regime’s lawless grab for power is colliding with global backlash, domestic repression, and a world that’s quietly refusing to play along.

My girlfriend and I sometimes have this conversation, with respect to karma etc etc because it naturally feels off to loathe someone quite so much or to actually wish them harm and worse.....but we do, and for some time quite unapologetically

Tbh I’m torn between him dying quick, like a heart attack at the top of the steps of air force one hitting every step on the way down and dead at the bottom, in full view of tv cameras,let’s see them lie their way out of that eh, or him incapacitated and bedridden going slowly and suffering excruciating pain for the rest of his then hopefully longlife.
Either is good.

I’d be happy to see the whole family get the Ceaucescau or Romanov treatment but I think I’m probably alone in that one
