This 22-minute short film was made by the US Army just after the Second World War, warning about the tactics that Nazis use to gain power.

It's baffling how many parallels there are with current political developments. I think this video should be shown in every school around the world.

Good morning, ! ❄️ Tea is steeping.

A winter wonderland here at the ol' Imperial Palace. Snow covers the courtyard. ❄️ I hear snow being dealt with. Kittys are fed and on patrol.

Why is dipshit convicted felon and rapist Donald F Puppyfucker not yet in custody? AmeriKKKa is a 3rd world shithole. ❄️


GOP = (AKA )

Fuck you, 🚀boy. Eat shit and die.

Sanction billionaires filthy.

Today's agenda: ❄️ Dance party! (After meds kick in.)

People dance robotically in a silly manner.

Trump is holding a rally at Madison Square Garden Sunday. It holds 19,500 people. How many will attend? Whatever the number, he'll lie.

You night have read that held a rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939. 20,000 people attended.

But you might not have read that "around 100,000 anti-Nazi counter-protesters gathered outside the venue. "

On February 20, 1939, the German American Bund organized a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden that drew over 20,000 attendees. The rally was billed as a pro-"Americanism" event, and featured a large portrait of George Washington with swastikas on either side.

People focus on Hitler and Nazi leaders and the atrocious lethal lies they told to justify the mass murder of Jews.

But they should focus also on the willingness of very many people to believe those lies, to cheer and assist as their Jewish neighbors were rounded up and sent to their deaths.

The problem is never just the Hitlers, the Nazis. The problem is us, many of us — our propensity to stigmatize and hate.

"These guys only care about their assumed right to force people who aren't interested to listen. "Free speech" is when they can say awful stuff and you can't answer back. When Dorsey calls Twitter -- Twitter! -- "freedom technology," that's the freedom he means. They can't live without unwilling ears to bash."

Israel is a terrorist state.

Today's agenda: Fuck if I know, but I retain hope that horrible things will happen to horrible people.

Meanwhile, in Heaven, doggos are being reunited with their loved ones, except for one dog, waiting at the gates holding a baseball bat. Another dog explains to its keeper, "That's Cricket. She's waiting for South Dakota governor Kristi Noem."

The first large burning came on 6 May 1933. The German Student Union made an organised attack on Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (roughly: Institute of Sex Research). Its library and archives of around 20,000 books and journals were publicly hauled out and burned in the street. Its collection included unique works on intersexuality, homosexuality and transgender topics. 1/2

commented on Die Wikinger-Saga by Rudolf Pörtner

Rudolf Pörtner: Die Wikinger-Saga (German language, 1975, Droemer-Knaur) No rating

Rudolf Pörtner, the German author of this work became quite famous for his nonfiction works in the second half of the 20th century. However, his Wikipedia entry reveals that he wrote a lot of Nazi propaganda in his younger days, during the Third Reich.

There doesn't seem to be any indication that he continued to be active in right-wing extremist circles, so likely he used the "Stunde Null" ("Zero Hour") to drop this whole part of his personal history and reinvent himself. But it is unclear how much he actually recanted his former convictions.

Which leaves me with the question: Is his "Die Wikinger-Saga", a nonfiction work on the Vikings I found on a public bookshelf, still worth reading - considering his past and context?
