Nuremburg Trials level stuff
"Shut up, you fucking asshole!"
Hungary is the template.
Liberal academics have ignored these threats, ostracized those who warned them, and will find ways to comply with the new requirements, since their paychecks depend on that.
Most will find it easy to adjust to teaching from a fascist textbook.
TPUSA's "professor watchlist" and the cadre of students they've deputized to report on their professors and fellow students is the ground operation, but it's the bureaucratic long game that Vought and the Project 2025 folks are carrying out that's the far more substantial threat to US higher ed.
No end to the escalation. Next they'll deploy mimes, and then what?!
I always thought NATO had delegated mine sweeping to the Bundesmarine?
I'm really with Brecht on this whole question, who, when asked whether he could not enjoy a beautiful green forest, replied, "Am I a deer?"
She's posing in a straw hat, while one step away from joining RFK Jr. in MAHA with her plant medicine. Give me a break with that whole package!
There's footage of that:
The first "it's complicated" war. We're "at" war with each other, but not "in" war. We're also both bombing other people.
Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available
Ask who can name the members of Stray Kidz in your next faculty meeting.
I figured I'd be better off knowing than not knowing. Saved me from the common mistake of underestimating the threat.
Early on, I decided to take mental notes and ask questions when they started, since I wanted to know what they'd say. Took a lot of restraint.

Word! Here's an ICE train in 2022 doing 250 km/h. Max speed is 280.
The stuff people feel comfortable saying to me b/c I'm not just white, but German! I long knew the Republican Party was becoming a fully fascist org. I don't think many people bothered to ask for or listen to these folks opinions.
In slogans like "Nuke & Pave", it reached the surface.
Now practiced.
And just in case you wonder, yes, there are many Palestinian flags flying at this rally.
Solidarity with Palestine does not require suspension of one's critical abilities; but may in fact be improved by their application.
How I missed the German left! Kurdish communist speaker at the women's rally: our enemies are capitalism, jihadists, and liberal representation politics.
Meanwhile, the US has Judith Butler, who includes islamo- fascism in the global left and has never said a critical word about capitalism.

Hmmm?
Ah!
SPD!
Ja, das paΓt!
Lucky! I'm glad for you. I am now in the land of public transportation, so I won't be renting cars anytime soon.
I guess now that role is up for grabs again.
Oh, *you're* that guy! Everyone else hasn't. π
Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about daffodils.
Why Hertz, though? They're the worst.
Not only is disdain the cheapest way of virtue signaling, but "evil and stupid" are not even remotely valid categories of political, let alone scientific analysis.
Thank you for your work!
This has been my mantra since 2015. "It's about ideology, power, and interest; not morality/psychology!"
In the 19thC Engels described the suffering of the working class for which the bourgeoisie was responsible as social murder. The austerity policies of recent times are a continuation of the same responsibility.

Lol!
I've known German Navy officers from WWII who made it a point of pride to always make sure everyone was saved when they sank a ship. It was official policy of the Nazi armed forces to do that.
The US is managing to out-evil the Kriegsmarine.
Paraphrase of very long text; The Iranian ship that was just sunk by the US off Sri Lanka was unarmed, and part of a training exercise. The US knew this, and torpedoed them anyway before leaving the crew to die.
New level of performative depravity unlocked
Many lantern fish have a better understanding of fascism than the people working for those publications.
And they do have stalks growing out of their forehead.
