    They really are speedrunning fascism this time around. They did have plenty of time to prepare out in the open and gained public support with no long term repercussions.

    A lot of people here thinking the USA is speed running fascism here.

    No, the USA was always an inspiration to fascism (just ask the remaining Native Americans as an example).

    That’s why it was able to adopt into it so quick. Not that hard to change a car to gasoline if it was already running on diesel.

      Is almost a good analogy, but that’s not so easy 😅

    It’s a problem that the purge of those offended by nazis/oligarchs hinting too close to naziism is this early.

      Oof… just because the Russians are our enemies now, doesn’t mean they were Nazis during world war II. They fought the Nazi a lot longer than America did for sure.

      This comment has so many levels of unintended irony and missing the point that it is genuinely making me laugh my ass off.

      Behold, the least propagandized people in the world.

    From the same people who scream and bitch and moan about their right of free speech. It’s only their right apparently.

      Can you name one person who’s discussed free speech who was also involved in this firing?

        I can’t name anyone who fired her and you know it. You also know that Elon Musk literally claims to be a “free speech absolutist” and then censors people who disagree with him and his fans are all in support of that.

          There’s also not a word from muskrat denouncing her being censored and fired, which is hipocritical, to say the least, from a “free speech absolutist”

          Correct. It was mostly a rhetorical challenge.

          Given you can’t name these people, you were obviously speaking outside your sphere of knowledge when you said:

            You are really trying hard to protect Musk and his Nazi followers, but I’m afraid you’re not doing a good job of it.

            EDIT: I love that the modlogs are public.

              “Well it wasn’t from the Nazi region of France so it’s really just sparkling hate”

              Yikes!! Now we’re entering the phase where the Nazi salute is being dissected since they need a fucking microscope to suss out the differences.

              “Oh, he didn’t repeat the German phrase?! ROMAN SALUTE, LIBTARD!!1” 🥴

                We are already at “you can’t be a Nazi unless you’re in 1940’s Germany supporting Hitler”, centrists and liberals are going to enable this “enlightened thinking” to its end in the name of bipartisanship and “civility”.

                We truly are doomed.

                What’s even weirder is that my client is not showing the comment as removed at all.

    …because it’s really important that meteorology calculations are done with the correct conservative perspective, lest you predict the weather in too woke a way or start believing in climate change and other elitist liberal dogma?
