What the economy didn’t instantly recover the moment Labour got back in after ten years of Torrie rule, and off the back of an ongoing global inflation crisis? No way???

Trump is a different kind of egotist than Hitler, so probably won’t be as bad as Hitler. Still bad though.

The Nazis had a thing called “working towards the fuhrer” because basically Hitler enjoyed spouting his racist nonsense and only settled as the economy improved.

Hitler did NOT have four years of the Dems fixing things for him.

Trump was a draft dodger, born into a life of wealth and privilege.Hitler was a poverty stricken WW1 veteran who later conducted political street brawls.

Hitler had people like Reinhard Heydrich with a ready plan to kill the jews in a systemic way. Trump has Stephen Miller, Russ Vought, and Pete Hegseth… Along with a smattering of Curtis Yarvin influnced wanna be queens in waiting with wads of cash and suggestions they might need their own little kingdoms to rule.

Trump was a reality TV star. He wants to be liked. Hates having his ego challenged, and is seldom the smartest person in the room.

Trump will likely lean more libertarian monachy, possibly trying to get a despotic state in place, backed by whomever he awards a fifedom to, in exchange for large wads of cash (see Marc Andresseen’s plans for Solano California for details).

Trump will be a brutalist, particularly in terms of deportations. Trump will institute a secret police that acts in an extra judicial way IF there are mass protests against him… He may authorize a lethal use of force as long as he has someone else to blame.

It is unlikely he would have systematic death camps. I don’t see America getting to that place, or the economy being bad enough to drive it. But mass imprisonment and labour camps? Possibly depends on if/how badly he crashes the economy.

So that’s pretty close to Hitler, but not quite Hitler. What if Hitler was stupid, and everyone around him came from a softer background and were mostly just greedy little Libertarians and scam artists.

Best case scenario: Libertarian hell hole, multiple US wars due to economic crash, but ultimately Trump being forced to keep democracy in a very corrupt format (worse than it is now).

Worse case scenario, end of democracy, totalitarian state, deadly labour camps and political prisoners, permanent state of war, kingdoms with different levels of punishment/control (war lordism). But it will be a stupid nonsensical version of these things, more Idiocracy than Fourth Reich.

By the way, that’s why the billionaire welfare queens want little kingdoms. They’re afraid, scared libertarians who don’t understand community unless they’re at top calling the shots.

Hahaha you wish. No you’re in something much worse.

If anyone wants to see it (it’s how bungee jumping started):

It’s the chicken and the egg.

He was later rejected by his family and ended up homeless and struggling.

If you’re not up with Zivvy and Karen Pink, then you aren’t up with current events. No cap fire on my lawd. \s

Who gives a shit. He’s trained in mathematics and massage therapy. Dude should be working in a mall, and no one should be googling him ever.

I really thought COVID would be a bit more successful in this regard, give us a bit more room on the streets, shake loose some of that boomer wealth.

Gosh dang the black plague generation has it easy in comparison.

So embarrassing for them - they ordered the extra large version!

Trolololo

The irony here is that Che Guavara was a medical doctor AND in charge of torture… So that’s kinda similar to United Healthcare.

You know if James Lindsey tried this shotgun method with mainstream publications too he might just find holes in publishing are just everywhere? It’s more of a statiatical norm.

Does he think people vetting articles just love their jobs and do them enthusiastically and well? No, sometimes they just wanna go home early so push things through.

When is this dumb ass gonna learn this basic fact of humanity.

People keep saying the family is so wealthy, but if that’s true; even they couldn’t keep up with the medical bills.

Yep, it should always be a surprise attack. Your employer is NEVER your friend. You will always have competing interests.

Their aim is to exploit you, your aim is to be well paid for doing very little (eg. The fabled “cushy job” scenario).

There’s no room for a friendship, it’s adversarial. You’re cordial to get along until there’s a viable move to make.

YouTube keeps uBlock functioning to keep me going to their website.

Turns out things won’t go well for the albatross (it will get shot). The saying, “to wear an albatross around one’s neck” is an indication of having been cursed. It comes from a 227 year old poem. From Wikipedia:

In the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, an albatross follows a ship setting out to sea, which is considered a sign of good luck. However, the titular mariner shoots the albatross with a crossbow, an act that will curse the ship and cause it to suffer terrible mishaps. Unable to speak due to lack of water, the ship’s crew let the mariner know through their glances that they blame him for their plight and they tie the bird around his neck as a sign of his guilt. From this arose the image of an albatross around the neck as metaphor for a burden that is difficult to escape.

Eh, not quite, it will probably be more of a boom, then a thud… Then a very long hissss.

The Boom is the initial corporate spending as all regulations enforcement are dropped. The thud is the lack of workers, the opposing judges, and the state of fear over Trump’s seemingly random and damaging behaviour.

The hisss will be long term economic and social damage, and the whispers of more revolutionary actions needing to be taken.

With any luck, party, political, judicial, and industries/civil/military powers will be enough to force a clean election in four years, but we’ll have to see about that.

The Lemmy just censor your comment about needing more shootings like the one Luigi Mangione is accused of.
