Do you see any similarity with the US now(and past) to NAZI Germany?

Did the US adapt the methods, foreign policy and state power of NAZI Germany.

Or, actually, anyone who disagree with you or your party are concpiracy theorists or idiots?

Is that your insight here? :doh


If you werent so closed down you would actually listen to concpiracy theorists and not always ule out things that arent majority opinion as "tin foil hat stuff".. At least try to understand them, they always have valid points, even if you cant agree with the broader theory, because most points seems unlikely. At least weight things up against each other before taking the "majority stand".

Okee dokee!

SOME soldiers, not by far all who deserves it. Its only made an example of a few, including NATO soldiers.
A lot of German soldiers were tried for treason and wrongdoings. Killing jews and so fourth wasnt considered a wrong doing by the German state at that time.

What evidence do you have that any German soldiers were ever tried for crimes against their enemies? That is pure horse ****. Were some tried for treason against Hitler? Sure... but that is not the point and you know it, that happens here as well. WE are talking about illegal acts against Jews, Muslims, etc... Stay on point if you can.

You have already killed and wounded millions of Muslims since 911. Also you have put a gun to their face and try to force them against their own conviction, to accept your conviction.

I haven't done anything of the sort. Say the USA if you mean the USA, since I and most people in the USA are not responsible for all of the governments actions, what we do is voice our opinions and then hold the government accountable for its actions, get it straight already.

That being said, we are fighting an accepted enemy of the ideals of democracy. This isn't debatable. Should the USA, Britain and others adopt different approaches? We sure could, but to blame the USA for all of this is retarded. The UK has gone along all on their own, they could stand up and say no if they wanted to, jsut as others did. Australia and New Zealand and others are also involved. On a smaller level? Sure, but they are also smaller nations.

I am sure, the NAZIs if they did the same, would face far more success. What you seem to miss is that I am not directly comparing the US to NAZI Germany, I am just saying it learned the methods of NAZI Germany and are now taking them into use themselves. And for what purpose? Who ****ing knows?
Click to expand...

We also adopted Democracy from Greece and Republic from Rome and the 1689 English Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta from England and the 1789 Declaration of Human Rights from France and ideas from Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. What is your point? Not everything that the Nazis did was evil, they did turn around the economy of Germany with social programs and public works projects.

Hitler had enourmous support after the Reichtag fire, he had substantial support in elections before he came to power as well. Bush had enourmous support, but instead of a führer, the US have come up with a better scheme, a "legitimate democratic" president, "elected" by the people, to serve "the people". You just dont see the narrow ways your democracy works as oppose to how a democracy should work, and how corruption of power should have been dealt with a long time.

What evidence have I given that shows that I don't see that our two-party system is flawed? Especially when I have stated that it is flawed numerous times? :roll:

I didnt say complete devotion to your leader, but your parties. Not far from at least. Considering how similar those parties really are, its quite scary. 50% of their agenda, AT LEAST, is the same. You only get to select the **** they serve you in elections, or select the other ****.

Did I say this administration? If so then you have a point, where I am coming from is pretty much an inching of government expansion and the way it's been done, from a historical perspective, pertaining to both sides, and in no way am I trying to pin this on one congress or administration. I am not on the side of the U.S. bashers, I am looking at similarities. Now, with that out of the way, there are some similarities in their most fundamental aspects, but this is why I went on to say where things are different as well.

I would love for people to take my point for what it is, and that is an erosion of certain fundamental principles of our country, and the willfull disregard for certain constitutional restraints that could be abused by this, that, or the other administration. Trust me, there is plenty of ammo to overtly bash the current resident of the white house, why would I need to stoop to partisan hackery?

I am not sure he is saying that he cares... he is simply saying what the flag is. That is a symbol.

Hell, you could burn pictures of my daughters in front of me, and if I had back-ups, I wouldn't care. I wouldn't care at all really if it was between them and the pictures... so what is your point? His point is clear, that you having a picture of the US flag being burned says more about you and your agenda more than his picture/avatar says about him, at least that is my take.

Can people burn the simple fabric of a flag of the USA? Sure... the point is why? What is their deal. Destroying flags/symbols shows more hate and is far more telling than simply having a flag/symbol. What is hate really? It is fear. That is you Maximus. You are full of fear so you lash out. ;)

They arent called conspiracy theories anymore when they are proven true. Anyways, if you want to see daily and true conspiracy, I suggest you look into cases in the court of laws. A lot of conspiracy theories are proven right there, so is it in political/larger conspiracy life. In court its called proof and sentence, in politics, it becomes "fact".

I wouldnt be able to tell you anyways. I am not that into conspiracies, but when someone says something like that I do always listen to it in a mind neutral way. I never for example said 911 is a conspiracy, nor do I deny that it could possibly be, I can argue both ways. You choose a side. I dont, I stand in between, like I do in just about everything. I dont buy things easily.

In many cases I do like to support the few rather than adding to the mob.

How do you hold it accountable? I havent seen the Bush administration and the Republican party be held accountable. Nor have I seen Obama been held accountable for any of his election promises.

Hey, Germany did a lot of good things, they built massive infrastructure, but guess what, a lot of it with looted money, stolen in war.

The US economy would have shrinked 20% without the continuous wars and the military industry and activity. Its almost become the engine of your economy. And that is a shame.

Click to expand...

I only take stands that I strongly support. Right now, in this time and age, my biggest worry is that our democracy is going to hell in Europe and America.
I believe it is necessary for America especially, but also European nations, not so much the EU(because they are already doing it), to reform their political systems, remove the idolism, the clown elections, the money from politics, the special interest groups, the individuals who represent power, the political class and so fourth, and assure that power will always be with the people, and that governments will always work FOR the people, not only of their nation, but for all human kind, because all are people, individuals worth just as much as you and me. I believe we must make our political system fail safe against corruption, and therefor reform the ways governance work and is organized.
I also believe the only way forward for human kind if more cooperation and better organization. I have no belief in old style geopolitics and power flexing.

Those values and everything surrounding that is what I fight for and believe in.

I believe Europe and the US must focus on keeping the good about ourselves, and making us better, and spread the good concept by peace and incentives, not war, threats, fear and force. Nor do we have to use our people as tools, and scare the **** our of them, and place them under surveilance and paranoia government to be able to achieve attractive goals.



Blackdog said:

But your government is broken. That is the problem, so is the governments and way of governance and the methods of democracy in the US, Norway, France, Italy, the UK, Belgium and many other European democracies. We need to fix that, not spend our hard earned money and change our societies to make war abroad.
I take the side of good, and I believe the US in the 90s was a undescribably more positive global force of good than it is now, now it has become a force of global evil.

I also believe reactions are counterprodutive, that the actions of the US have created MORE terrorism, and will lead to more hatred and terrorism in the future. And I dont want that.

Blackdog said:

No, I dont believe exclusively in anyone, nor overwhelmingly in anyones sides or ideas. I choose to listen to everyone, and I need different perspectives to find our what is the right stand to take. I dont judge. I also watch BBC(which I trust most of English news channels for neutral media, except euronews half hour briefing news without opinions). I also watcha bunch of other stuff and read different magazines and books.
I believe the wider perspectives that you read, and the more the opinions you know, the better you will be able to take a proper stand without bias, prejudice and ignorance.

So, yes, I also watch Russia today and Fox news, Chinese central TV and so fourth.

If Australia was terrorist and they supported terrorists that attacked Chinese citizens, China itself or Chinese interests around the world and then China responded with force, and as a result they set up a friendly system of government that supported peace and security and trade, then I would have no problem with it at all. The USA did not use force to "spread democracy" though... they used force to "spread stability" to a violent and oppressive region that was using terror to terrorize too.

I believe in a different type of society.

Greater emphasis could be put on the importance of politics, I agree. The rest is already kinda what we have here, to a degree.

Housing, water, food, health care should all be part of the communist market. The rest should be a free but regulated market, where greater equality between the bottom and the top should be a clear goal, and worked into a different money system. I also believe in rewards and person triumph for individuals who do great in their lives, and the reward of such efforts. I dont believe in super luxury for the minority, and I do not believe in hunger and poverty.

If you cared to understand my counterpoint issued to you, you would read that I was addressing that you are not the authority on what the stereotype actually is, since there is no stereotype except your opinion, hence, your opinion is just that, and it is anything but correct.

Another point, Muslims are everywhere in the USA. In fact, they are worldwide.

If stating that your opinion is invalid makes me righteous, then whatever... but it is certainly not wasted to point out to a person is looking through a narrow scope instead of taking on the bigger picture. *shrugs* I just see a couple of people talking, if you see something else, perhaps you are insecure and have other issues that you should think on. ;)

Sorry about renaming you. But stereotypes do exist and not just in my own head though you may enjoy attempting to condescend to me.

"Asians are good at math" is an example which shoots down what you said. Its an existing stereotype that everyone knows. Another one is "Muslims are terrorists".

It is not an opinion bodhi, though you would of course attempt to disprove that stereotypically homogenized white americans in many regions of the country are somewhat anti-muslim. Luckily you don't seem to have experienced it yet. Nice for you.
