    Planning and attempting a coup are the ultimate expression of opposing federalism.

    I like how your researchers are all on youtube, this is your level of historical knowledge that you don't link to a credible researched text with links but listen to some clickbait bullshit and then pass it on to others like you discovered Higgs Boson.

    You are dumb and you should accept that instead of peddling absolute nonsense like above.

    "People who think the Nazis were socialist likely only know the battles of ww2 and nothing before that. The trade unionists, communists and socialists were the first sent to concentration camps. Cultural bolchevism conspiracy theory stated that Marxist leninist were taking over academia ffs. People who say that Nazis were socialists are being intentionally bad faith to override our correct understanding that Nazism and nationalism leads to genocide."

    "German here, had a bigger exam on the topic while studying history... The difference is "Klassenkampf" (class warfare) vs "Volksgemeinschaft" (unity of the [German] people).

    Yes, both ideologies were about overthrowing the current system, then installing a new one. But: Nazis believed in removing foreign or Jewish people from the top positions. Communism doesn't care about ethnicity, it's about abolishing the classes.

    Also, Nazis believe in the "Führerprinzip" (strict hierarchy, all pointing to the leader, "der Führer", while communists have a lot of anarchist elements.

    Most importantly, when someone brings this topic up it's important to start by looking exhausted and putting a palm to your face."

    Because Moscow would have been too obvious, the GOP convention site featured a picture of Ho Chi Minh City rather than Milwaukee.

    The Republican National Convention (RNC) is set to be held in Milwaukee on July 15; however, the convention’s website featured a banner image of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam for several months.

    Boston Globe reporter Sam Brodey flagged the blunder on X on Tuesday morning.



    The image appears to be an iStock photo posted by Diversity Studio in 2019. Shortly after Brodey’s post, the website’s image changed to a proper one of Milwaukee. A screenshot of the website with Ho Chi Minh City was captured by the Internet Archive’s WayBackMachine, showing that the image was on the RNC website since at least February 2024.

    Former President Donald Trump is expected to officially win the Republican nomination at the convention, which will be held at the Fiserv Forum arena from July 15-18.

    Let's take a look at GrayZone and GOP Putin-lover Sen. Mike Lee.

    A Washington Post expose reveals the man behind the "news site" GrayZone is a US expat living in Russia who is a a longtime collaborator with Sputnik News and also takes money from Iran. Oh, and that Sen. Mike Lee regularly retweets their stuff.

    Bannon Rages at ‘Slimiest’ Republican Lindsey Graham For Nuking Tommy Tuberville’s Defense of Putin
    https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/b...or-nuking-tommy-tubervilles-defense-of-putin/

    Former Trump campaign manager and White House advisor Steve Bannon tore into Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) this week after Graham tried to distance the GOP from Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-LA) recent comments about Russia.

    Bannon began by playing a clip from Graham on CBS’s Face the Nation over the weekend. “Republican colleague, Senator Tommy Tuberville, just this past week said on Steve Bannon’s show that Volodymyr Zelensky is a dictator and unconstitutional. And he said this about Vladimir Putin,” began Margaret Brennan in the clip.

    “He doesn’t want Ukraine. He doesn’t want Europe. Hell, he’s got enough land of his own. He just wants to make sure that he does not have United States weapons in Ukraine pointing at Moscow,” Tuberville told Bannon.

    “Those echo some Russian talking points. Senator, I wonder if those remarks from your fellow senator represent the GOP?” Brennan then asked Graham for his reaction.

    “So we’ve been slow as hell of helping Ukraine, but Senator Tuberville’s analysis really misses what Putin’s all about,” hit back Graham, adding:

    He’s an outlier, I think, in the Republican Party. I like him personally. But, what did Trump do to get the weapons flowing? He created a loan system. They’re sitting on 10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe. I don’t want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China. If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of.

    That 10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China. This is a very big deal. How Ukraine ends. Let’s help them win a war we can’t afford to lose. Let’s find a solution to this war. But they’re sitting on a gold mine. To give Putin 10 or $12 trillion of critical minerals that he will share with China is ridiculous.


    “Whoa. You notice this new argument? It’s just like the illegal alien invasion of our country. You got it. You can’t get rid of the, you can’t deport anybody because the economy. And this is how the globalist think,” Bannon raged at the clip, before taking some shots at Graham:

    Is Lindsey Graham not the slimiest of them? I think he’s the slimiest, walking around like a serpent. You see, when he’s in President Trump’s ear, it’s poison he’s putting in there. Is it an outlier of the Republican Party? No, it’s pure MAGA. No more money for Ukraine!

    I don’t know, it’s maybe outside of the neo-liberal, neo-cons of which, you know, he’s the, his mentor was John McCain. Jim Rickards. Your and by the way, later in the interview, he went on and said, we must take their assets, turn it into cash, the Russian people’s assets, turn into cash and give it to Ukraine to fund their war.


    Bannon was ordered this month to report to prison in July to begin serving his fourth-month sentence for contempt of Congress – having refused to comply with a subpoena regarding his alleged involvement in the pro-Trump scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

  10. Bannon should go rage from Moscow. Or, better yet, Siberia.
