#4th reich

This is how it starts.

Biden isn’t an ideal candidate. We’ve established that. But these people telling us Biden should drop out don’t give us any alternatives. Who are they going to run instead of Biden? The democrats don’t have anybody. Ok, say you get Biden to drop out of the race. Then what?

They don’t have another Obama or Clinton lying around. They have to outrun a cult of psychos. One thing Trump has exposed since 2016 is exactly how many people in the electorate are mentally ill. The Trump cult including their big orange daddy, is a large population of crazy racists. It’s embarrassing that there are so many deranged people in this country.

It’s embarrassing the democrats don’t have a viable candidate to replace Biden. The only one i would accept is Bernie or or maybe Elizabeth Warren. And who knows if they can defeat the army of crazies?

The world should tremble in their shoes that the dominant superpower in the world is full of crazy people who are running a convicted felon, rapist, racist to be president who has promised to dismantle democracy and withdraw from NATO.

And that the democrats can’t get behind anyone but old Joe. The only person who’s beaten Trump in an election. The democrats are this amorphous pusillanimous group of non-charismatic lumps of playdough who yell that Biden should drop out without giving us an answer for who should replace him.

Kamala Harris? No. I don’t believe in her as anything but a credible VP. So we are going to go down swinging and missing because the democrats have no one who can beat a convicted criminal in an election knowing everything we know about him.

We are going to lose our democracy. Our economy is going to fail. Our standing in the world will fall farther than it ever has. We are going to become the 4th Reich. Do you understand that, people of the world? Do you understand that, people on the left? Democrats?

I will be honest. I will vote for any piece of shit the democrats throw out there because I’m a more or less sane individual who recognizes what Trump is after having lived through the disaster of his last term, while living in Texas which is a state full of insane christofascists.

I don’t want to lose democracy. I don’t want America to become an authoritarian autocracy led by the single worst person to ever live during my lifetime: A bulbous turd who worships Hitler and wants to be a dictator like his buddies.

And then I look at the democrats full of these back biting weak career politicians calling for Biden to drop out without giving us anyone to replace him with. And I hang my head. Literally the most important US Election in my lifetime and it’s going to be a clusterfuck which leads to civil war.

These are dark days in America. Darker than the days after 9-11, Pearl Harbor, because democracy was still going strong after those events. Democracy is on life support right now. And there are no heroes. No one can save us from the big orange criminal turd and his army of insane cultists who are racist and hate women. It is for all the women in my life that I mourn. All my closest friends are women. I love my friends dearly. And I’m watching a bunch of rich crazy racists flush the rights of all women down the toilet while all the rest of us watch it happen with our thumbs up our sad asses.

And these are people that will then fight our civil war? The strength of women will not have have ever been needed like it will be in these coming years starting in 2025. Project 2025 wants all women pregnant, submitting to husbands and worshipping an imaginary cloud guy—sky cake!

To the women of America: please have a plan to leave this country if trump wins. Do not get trapped here. America is sinking and democracy is in its death throes and the crazy racist misogynists have blood in their eyes and the devil in their hearts. Not one of these christofascists has Jesus in their hearts—they’re insane.

Hope gets beaten and raped before it gets murdered. This is a colossal disaster. God damn convicted felon Trump and his cult on insanity. God damn broken down old Joe. God damn the weak democrats who can’t come up with anybody who can beat an overt racist rapist wannabe dictator and his cult on insanity. And god damn the United States and the 4th Reich which will put the 3rd Reich to shame.

And god damn me for not having a cyanide pill…

There Are No Gods or Kings, Only Man

A Scathing Critique of Trumpism and the Rise of Populist Extremism

The era of Donald Trump has left an indelible mark on the political landscape, both in the United States and globally. The ascent of Trumpism, with its cult-like fervor, has emboldened extremist rhetoric and actions reminiscent of a nascent Fourth Reich. This dangerous trend has profound implications, and it is crucial to dissect its roots, impacts, and the broader issues it reveals about contemporary society.

The Cult of Personality

Donald Trump's presidency was characterized by an unprecedented cult of personality. His followers, often referred to as the MAGA (Make America Great Again) crowd, elevated him to an almost god-like status. This idolization is antithetical to the principle that "there are no gods or kings, only man." By placing Trump on a pedestal, his supporters disregarded his numerous failings and embraced a narrative built on lies and demagoguery.

Trump's appeal lay in his ability to present himself as an anti-establishment figure, a billionaire who spoke for the "common man." However, this facade masked his true nature as a self-serving opportunist. The QAnon conspiracy theory, which flourished under his watch, further exemplifies the dangers of blind faith in a singular figure. QAnon followers believed in a shadowy "deep state" and saw Trump as their savior, leading to real-world violence and a distortion of democratic discourse.

Populist Rhetoric and Authoritarian Tendencies

Trump's rhetoric was marked by extreme populism, scapegoating minorities, immigrants, and political opponents. This us-versus-them mentality fostered division and hatred, eroding the social fabric. His infamous slogan, "Make America Great Again," harkened back to an idealized past that never truly existed, promoting a reactionary agenda that sought to roll back civil rights and social progress.

The rise of Trumpism also saw an alarming embrace of authoritarian tendencies. Trump's frequent attacks on the media, judiciary, and other democratic institutions undermined the checks and balances essential to a functioning democracy. His refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and the subsequent insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, highlighted the dangers of a leader who refuses to relinquish power and incites violence.

Global Impact: A Fourth Reich in the Making?

The impact of Trumpism has not been confined to the United States. Around the world, populist leaders have drawn inspiration from Trump's playbook. Figures like Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Viktor Orbán in Hungary, and Narendra Modi in India have adopted similar tactics, leveraging nationalism, xenophobia, and disinformation to consolidate power. These leaders, emboldened by Trump's example, pose a significant threat to global stability and democratic norms.

The comparison to the rise of a Fourth Reich is not hyperbolic. The parallels between the current wave of populism and the conditions that led to the rise of fascism in the 20th century are stark. Economic uncertainty, social fragmentation, and a distrust of established institutions create a fertile ground for demagogues who promise simple solutions to complex problems. The dangerous combination of charismatic leadership and a disaffected populace can lead to the erosion of democratic principles and the rise of autocratic regimes.

The Broader Problems: Idolatry and Centralization of Power

The rise of Trumpism and global populism underscores a broader issue: the human propensity for idolatry and the centralization of power. In times of crisis, people often seek strong leaders to provide direction and reassurance. This tendency, however, can lead to the elevation of deeply flawed individuals to positions of immense power, exacerbating the very issues they purport to solve.

The idolization of leaders like Trump distracts from the reality that they are mere mortals, subject to the same flaws and limitations as anyone else. This deification creates a dangerous feedback loop, where leaders are emboldened by their followers' unwavering support, leading to increasingly authoritarian behavior. The principle that "there are no gods or kings, only man" serves as a reminder that power should be dispersed and accountable, not concentrated in the hands of a few.

The Way Forward: Embracing Rationalism and Egalitarianism

Addressing the rise of populist extremism requires a fundamental shift in how society approaches leadership and governance. First and foremost, it is essential to reject the notion of infallible leaders. Political discourse should be grounded in rationalism, critical thinking, and empirical evidence, not in blind faith and conspiracy theories.

Egalitarianism must also be a guiding principle. A healthy democracy thrives on diversity of thought and a robust system of checks and balances. Power should be decentralized, with strong institutions that hold leaders accountable and protect the rights of all citizens. Education plays a crucial role in this endeavor, fostering a populace that is informed, critical, and resistant to demagoguery.

In conclusion, the era of Trump and the rise of populist extremism serve as a stark reminder of the dangers of idolatry and the centralization of power. The quote "there are no gods or kings, only man" encapsulates the need for a more rational, egalitarian approach to leadership and governance. By embracing these principles, society can resist the allure of authoritarianism and build a more just and democratic world.

You know, the more I write Outlaws in these Times the more I both find catharsis in writing them go against Nazis, and the more worried I am at how easy it is to use reality as a basis for said Nazis.

Have your papers ready!!!

While the Natzis had no Fourth Reich, because Hitler blew his brains out in a cowardly panic, there still remains the idea of one through similar cowardly wanna-be-natzis since the end of World War II. The term "Fourth Reich" refers to a hypothetical successor to Adolf Hitler's Third Reich fascisms governing,........ and I think Trump fits that definition in more ways than one,........ along with many Americans who follow Trump's fascist actions towards humanity.

Anti-choice right-wing women are always so nuts their most "moderate" opinion is some bullshit like "what we need is support for women and their babies not pushing for abortion laws because i think they are sin teheh" but they never answer if you ask them "i agree with that, but what to the people who just don't want to take care of an human being for the rest of their lives?"

hitler's visit to finland

marshal wilhelm keitel, hitler, mannerheim and president risto ryti (1942)

on june 4th 1942, hitler made a visit to finland under extreme secrecy to celebrate the 75th birthday of the marshall of finland, carl gustav mannerheim.

this was hitlers only stay outside of the 3rd reich that summer, and overall an odd venture. hitler didn't travel much in general, and when he did, it was business related. the real purpose of the visit was to ensure finland stay allied to nazi germany.

the visit took place in imatra, where hitler was greeted at immola airfield by president risto ryti and finnish officials, then accompanied to mannerheims personal train. there a birthday meal and negotiations took place.

hitler dining with finnish prime minister jukka rangell, president risto ryti and mannerheim (1942)

during his visit, in this train car the only known recording of hitler's normal voice was taped.

a sound engineer for the finnish brodcaster yleisradio (yle) thor damen, had been tasked with recording hitler's official speech and birthday message to mannerheim, after which thor continued to record the private conversation between the two without permission.

after 11 minutes, hitlers ss guards noticed and made a cutthroat gesture as a polite suggestion for him to stop recording. they demanded for the tape to be destroyed, but yle was eventually allowed to keep it in a sealed container with the promise of it not being opened again.

it was made available to the public later in 1969, and you can listen to it here:

many doubted its authenticity after the tapes release due to hitlers voice being 'too soft'. the reason for this was most likely the fact he'd been drinking, something hitler didn't do often.

today, a largely unknown stone plaque commemorates the meeting, 400 metres away from it's original place as it was moved in 1994 to a quieter location due to it being in an industrial area.

the coach in which the meeting took place in is on display in mikkeli and open to the public once a year on mannerheims birthday.

@comeonamericawakeup Yes! The media IS useless to us civilians. AND they are a Global Corporate business expressly designed to 'report' Politics, War, Climate Change, and advanced technology weapons according to the Corporate "rulers" agenda. It's not a conspiracy. It's an agenda that involves "competition" on the Billionaire & Corporate levels. The Media has been neutered since 7/26/1947 (the National Security Act passed by President Truman) and then again after 9/11/2001 and made into a manipulative corporate 'propaganda' arm of the Globalists. 8 Billion people are being controlled by less than 3000 Billionaires and 1000's of Global Corporations and all World Markets. "We" outnumber them and yet, we elect someone that must take orders from the right hand of the Corporate Global "Kings".

Was recently reminded of that "William Hell" creep, and was wondering, could we do a deep dive into villains passing themselves off as heroes?

It's an important question but you just had to ask me about the biggest bastard to ever do it, huh? Well I suppose we'll use it as a case study. I will place a trigger warning RIGHT HERE. We are going to be discussing bigotry in the abstract and white supremacy in specific. The man we are talking about is a sack of human garbage and even his supervillain name and motif are a widely recognized hate symbol. If you don't wanna hear it, duck out now and no one is allowed to judge you. Now let's talk about the White Dragon.

(A news photo of Heller as The White Dragon. If you have to guess which network, you haven't been paying attention) The White Dragon actually refers to two men, Danial William Ducannon and William Heller although the broadest outlines of their stories are the same. We'll talk about William Heller first because his story is shorter and he's dead, even though he actually appeared second. Heller was born to a wealthy patrician family but without very many social connections, home schooled in his parents' very conservative mindset he most likely always would have turned out as a problem for society until his parents took one wrong turn into an out of control race riot that had been sparked by police brutality in an overcrowded minority neighborhood. No one knows the details specifically but both of Heller's parents ended up dead. Heller was then taken in by his grandfather, a member of the American Nazi Party and the German American Bund. Trained (groomed more like) by his grandfather into an even more extreme point of view he was made independently wealthy by his grandfather's eventual death.

Founding the hate group known as the Aryan Empire he created his original nom de guerre William Hell, a play of famous marksman William Tell. Ingraining himself as a vigilante he gained positive media attention, arresting criminals of color but secretly releasing white criminals to join the Aryan Empire. At the height of his personal popularity he was undercut and unmasked by the villain turned government agent Deadshot and arrested.

It's here where his story intersects with the original White Dragon, Daniel William Ducannon. Ducannon was not born into wealth but WAS a metahuman when the idea of the metagene was still cutting edge science. In the months after the Dominator invasion his pyrokinetic abilities were awakened and he was supplied with a suit of high tech battle armor by the MetaTech Corporation (A whole other kettle of fish who got shut down specifically BECAUSE they were doing things like handing out super tech to untested metahumans).

Ducannon operated as a vigilante in his native Chicago and also gained a large amount of personal popularity, being careful to avoid overt acts of racism and operating under a well doctored public persona that allowed him to sneak racism and sexist messages into his public appearances. He was, however, eventually called on it by Hawkwoman who confronted him in public over the intention of his words and used connections in law enforcement to open an investigation into his deeds.

He managed to go on a public crusade against the Hawks for a little while but when he unleashed his actual plan, attempting to set a firestorm within Chicago's low income minority neighborhoods he was confronted and defeated by the Hawks and their Golden Age counterparts.

When Ducannon and Heller met, both serving sentences in Belle Reeve Penitentiary they bonded and agreed to share the identity of the White Dragon. Once they escaped they both joined with the Neo-Nazi organization called the 4th Reich in the plot to destroy the Justice Society and its legacy. Ducannon was present at the now infamous Heywood massacre where the family of All Star Squadron founder Commander Steel were killed nearly to a man save for Nathan Heywood who survived the attack and now operates with the Justice Society as Citizen Steel.

Heller was killed at some point by the villainess known as Plastique but Ducannon is still active more or less both as a member of the 4th Reich and a superhuman enforcer of the remaining Klan.

The reality is that superheroes don't come with background checks ahead of time. When you drill right down to it a newly appearing superhero is a vigilante, someone who has been pushed by some personal agenda to take justice into their own hands. We can't know ahead of time whether a hero is on the up and up, we can only wait, and see, and take comfort in the fact that eventually the truth will come to light.

The superhero community is very tight knit and very self policing. Once either White Dragon appeared they were under the scrutiny of heroes near then whether they knew it or not. It doesn't take long for a new hero to begin racking up team ups and recommendations from their fellow heroes, or, if their have ill intentions for those heroes to start looking into what doesn't add up.

The most important thing to remember about the White Dragon is that Hawkman and Hawkwoman were there to stop him when he attempted to leverage his false persona to do harm and that will ALWAYS be the deciding factor between who is a real hero and who is taking the public for a ride.
