President Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room Monday morning, declaring it “Liberation Day in D.C.” and announcing that he was taking over Washington, D.C.’s police force. Invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, a rarely used provision of federal law, Trump said he was placing the Metropolitan Police Department under direct White House control and deploying the D.C. National Guard into city streets.

So many people are taking this as a joke. It's parallels to 1930s Germany is so scary. I always used to think that the German people only became Nazis because they feared for their own lives. Now I'm starting to think from the way I see people reacting online that most people are born Nazis and I was the one who misjudged everything. Until the day I die I will never understand people's hatred against one another. We are all born naked, and we will all die alone. Most of us have around 60 years in between and some people choose to fill their days by making it worse for others. We will wipe out our own race through fear and ignorance.

Are we allowed to advocate for violence yet on lemmy.world? or are we still pretending we can reason with nazis? asking for a friend.

Violence is allowed when it is in self-defence.
