    and you can see why Navajo people are pissed all the time, i had one asa stem prof, and he was generally always angry, especially towards the USA, and that anger often transfer to his students, lashing out them from time to time. he has a distrust of people potentially “Stealing his reputation and work”.

    I hate how even the most “neutral” articles about the heinous shit being done to the US government right now still manage to have a headline that makes it sound like it’s the outrage that’s the issue and not the active attempts by government officials to erase any trace of non-white American history

    So making America great again clearly means a return to the era of rampant racism (did that ever really go away?). And sexism. And ableism. Only this time it’s going to be out in the wide open.

    What’s next?

    • Child labor?
    • Slavery?
    • Debtors’ prisons?
    • Mental Institutions?
    • Orphans for “deformed” children?
    • Trail of Tears 2? (probably why he wants to annex Greenland and/or Canada)

    This is gets more depressing as fuck every day.

        Edit: Oh and they want to pay them below minimum wage!

        Well obviously. Leave it to Republicans to encourage pushing children into the workforce to fill the gaps Republicans created, but then also insist that because children are poor workers they should be paid less.

      He doesn’t care about America, simple as that. He is a Russian asset that is dismantling the Government, he is selling you all out whilst distracting you all with news like this.

      The USA is dead.

      All those thimgs, and more, are on the agenda.

      Your “Trail of Tears 2” reference? Consider this:

      America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds about 800-1200 people. The largest prison, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300, more than 7x larger than average.

      Now the MAGA Nazis are building a facility in Guantanamo Bay, CUBA, that will house 30,000 people, which is almost 4x larger than Angola, which is already 7x larger than average.

      Even the Torture Prison in El Salvador is smaller, at 20,000. The MAGA Nazis want to build the biggest nastiest prison in the Western Hemisphere on a black site in a hostile foreign nation, far from the prying eyes of the media or the courts.

      Who do the MAGA Nazis plan on putting in a facility that large? They have already established that anyone who is designated a Terrorist can be detained without Due Process - no lawyer, no judge, no court appearances, no trial. You just get sent to anywhere in the world they feel like sending you.

      And now they are saying that anyone who protests Tesla is a Terrorist. In the future, anyone who protests anything will be a terrorist. If you vocally oppose giant corporations, you are a Terrorist. If you support a boycott, you are a Terrorist. Write a critical post on social media, wear a t-shirt, demand your right to vote, defend yourself against MAGA Marauders, etc, and you will be designated a Terrorist. Even just living a life that they think is counter to their concept of an ideal society - gay, Liberal, non-Christian, educated, self-employed, etc. will eventually be given the Terrorist designation. Even just registering as anything but a Republican will get you designated as a Terrorist. Not that it matters, there won’t be any elections anyway.

      In the future, they won’t care about crime, unless it is directed at the wealthy. Their primary law enforcement efforts will be against the 70% of Americans they will designate as Terrorists.

    I mean DEI literally exists to remedy the problem of institutional white supremacy (amongst other related issues).

    When someone is against DEI, that leaves the objective conclusion they’re either ignorant, and will change their mind when presented with reality, or they’re pro-white-supremacy—i.e. a Neo-Nazi fascist, with zero room for leeway.

    The fight for equality is always the same no matter what new labels the fuckos put on their current theft of freedom.

      Unfortunately, DEI also gave the white supremacists the perfect cover story for pushing white supremacism. Conservatives love their boogeymen and code worded hate speech, the concept of being “anti-DEI” provided the perfect cover for them that the corporate media can swallow without challenging.

    I bet that if the internet existed in the 1930s the Nazi party would have scrubbed their official websites of any heroes who were not 100% aryan.

      They did burn books so I would assume scrubbed of anything jewish, modern art and music, “jewish” science (quantum mechanics, relativity, etc)

      It would include Hitler’s CO. The guy who recommended he get his medals and called him a brave soldier.

          Nope. He escaped the holocaust by an inch simply because he knew some people in the SS who were mildly sympathetic to him personally. He was exiled from Germany to Belgium and he managed to immigrate to the US just before the Germans invaded.

          He passed away in the early 1960s in San Diego. He was one of the fortunate ones. Being Hitler’s CO didn’t do him any favors.

    As an veteran, I’d just like to offer an emphatic “fuck you” to anyone who thinks this is a good idea. If you served your country with honor, you deserve the same recognition as any other member of the Armed Forces that served alongside you. I don’t care about your race, ethnicity, orientation, creed, religion, or anything else. We’re all part of the same team.
