Dachau didn't open until 3 months after Hitler took power. They are right on track.

You know what, it's fine. At least you'll be sitting in a lower ring of hell than me for laughing at this. 😌

Thanks to modern technology we can watch the whole thing unfold in real time!

fuck yeah, subcontracting out the concentration camps!

It seems this new technology is not much benefit in stopping it? Observers are great, powerless and disorganized ones not so much.

Too many people live in willful ignorance

You can see the obvious big picture and scream from the rooftops, but everyone who is comfortable enough and in denial that things are actually that bad straight up just ignore you

It's only now that people are starting to get their wakeup calls, like a lot of Europe, for example

But god, if it isn't super frustrating to watch the local news in my European country and have politicians repeatedly say "nobody thought we would be standing here talking about this 4 years ago"

I did, fuckers! I did!! The fascist threat was obvious ever since the first trump presidency, and the trends could clearly be seen from even before then, however, I was a child at that time

I don't get it. Especially because politicians are supposed to be the experts in trends like this. Is everyone just fucking clueless??

I swear most people are just so neoliberal ideology brained, and heavily struggle seeing anything outside of that. It's been a massive failure on the part of society that political philosophy has not been a bigger part of the education curriculum. Or part of it, at all.

I’m not sure how relevant this is outside the USA; but when I was helping build grassroots for social activism in Texas - I realized people had forgotten how! Their grandparents could, and did. I saw it as a child.

But something happened over two generations, and the knowledge was not handed down, or was not applicable when things changed so much .

I remember enough to know critical things in the community is missing. I suspect a major missing piece is that people stay indoors too much.

Same in Germany. I don't know what it is either but I'm convinced it's related to the loneliness epidemic among the younger generation. People have seemingly stopped connecting in meaningful ways in general. No more religion, no more sports teams, working from home and getting your social interaction fix through social media. I think all of this is seriously starting to take its toll.

It's a European tradition to spectate torture and execution for entertainment.

The picture on the left is from when the prison first opened, so won't show any of the deportees

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 13 points 17 hours ago

Oh hell. OTOH, I'd imagine we have no reason to think it's looking better these days.

Still, thanks for the correction, I took that as I found it.

Remember kids, fascism only ends one way.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Only one way, but there are many ways to approach that way. My favorite is the Italian method.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

My favorite way to approach them is the donkey punch method as well!

You see, it isn't so bad, they can sit up!
