Denazification worked wonders against degeneracy in germany

This effort? Some juicy details:
...the US Army had by July 1946 taken control of 37 German newspapers, six radio stations, 314 theaters, 642 cinemas, 101 magazines, 237 book publishers, and 7,384 book dealers and printers
...the confiscation of all media that could contribute to Nazism or militarism.
...undertook a psychological propaganda campaign for the purpose of developing a German sense of collective responsibility.

So how do you plan to end American democracy in favor of your occupying force?

Rather expected that friends to the reich would argue democracy is dead in germany.

German Democracy opposed and quickly ended your military occupation standard of Denazification.

The West German political system, as it emerged from the occupation, was increasingly opposed to the Allied denazification policy.[76] As denazification was deemed ineffective and counterproductive by the Americans, they did not oppose the plans of the West German chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, to end the denazification efforts.
So I ask you again, troll, how do you suggest we implement your proposed occupation regime?

Hardly a surprise that many americans still fans of jim crow at the time didn't care for denazification.

Seems obvious why there are orders magnitude more apologists for sons of these regimes like you here than in germany. I expect you'd deny it has anything to do with the cost of doing such vs the benefit.

Let that sink in. There are more nazi sympathizers in the US, who fought the nazis in the wars, than there are in the actual former reich.

You don't dispute the wiki description. I'll post those highlights one more time.

You stand for the military occupation of the United States, to eliminate the Bill of Rights. And all those who don't support that are either Nazis or Sympathizers.

And we haven't had a crisis yet. You have to really try to demonstrate incompetence when times are good and all you really need to do is nothing.

Could you imagine if he took over in 2001 and had 9/11 to deal with?

Imagine if we elected him in 2008 and he had the financial crash Obama had to deal with? Holy shit we would be screwed.

To your point, Obama did such a good job that we know we could afford electing an idiot like Trump and not have pay a real price for it. #ThanksObama :/

US laws already apply to US media, and there's certainly illegal material and consequences for violating the law. Pretty decent fox news anchor impersonation though, shades of gun ban = gubmint fema camps for all; sons of the confederacy and reich approve.


Regrettable that dumshit tier liberals consider this guy one of their own, but I suppose expected when dumbshits are easily played.

I mull over your "US laws" bit.. and what, we simply make it illegal for people to be degenerate? Why that's so easy, why hasn't anyone thought of that before!

You parade around censorship and confiscation done through military occupation, and then feign ignorance. Go ahead, FOR THE THIRD TIME, I ask you to tell us how you would repeat Denazification. Tell us how it's done without force, and without violating the Bill of Rights.

OMG gun ban = FEMA death camps. Surely if pornography esp the kinder variety can be illegal so can confederate/nazi filth. Seems it used to be that more americans had the basic decency to punish macaca moments but I guess not when enough of your sorts normalize it.

Denazification... Are we serious? What is this silliness?

It would help if Dems actually had an army like FDR did. Only thing Dems are holding is their dicks in their hands.

Beware of the trolls. No matter how much you feed, they are always hungry.

Good thing Hitler had to face FDR instead of modern day republicans and democrats. They wouldn't be sure whether to help him or avoiding shaming them at all cost.

That was the last time something like that could happen and have the world survive. Modern day politicians are dealing with counties that can remove the vast majority of mankind from the face of the globe with a button press. This is probably the arc that life on all planets takes. Intelligent life develops the technology that can wipe out all life and at some point they use it in a grand gesture of dick-waving.

Before anyone fears I'm having a conversation by myself, a sample.
agent00f: Denazification worked wonders against degeneracy in germany

agent00f: Surely if pornography esp the kinder variety can be illegal so can confederate/nazi filth

First, again, your prized concept occurred under military occupation. Second, it sounds like the newly minted German Democracy put the practice to an end. Third, the practice itself was a Turkish style purge. Removing people with a certain affiliation from employment. It includes censorship and confiscation. All documented. THAT is your prescription for America. Denazification.

I keep linking it so people see it for what it is, and that you never shrank away from it. That's quite interesting.

So how do you justify it? Surely you have beautified the process, whereby you pretend it is not done by military force. Where it does not involve segregation of a new "lower class", barred from select employment. Where you don't act to make a political party and all orbiting media / materials / concepts illegal to speak of. Surely you have taken the word but stripped it of its actual meaning. That is how I'd like to picture you justifying it.

I suppose the only way to begin to process this is to ask....

Who the !@#$ do you think are Nazis? Who are these people you want removed from society? The Republican Party?
And...
You think this is done peacefully, and legally? Really....

Look at your 401k after 8 years of Obama and then look at the last 6 months. Yes, he has everything to do with it.
Yes, let's take a look at the last 8 years, in comparison to the last 8 months, dunce.

Ah, but I knew this before he was elected. That's why I did a face-palm when he was and why I got that awful feeling in my stomach like something terrible had just happened. It was obvious that he couldn't back up anything he predicted that mattered, that it was all empty froth from the mouth. This country is doomed. I hate to say it, but this whole century has gone wrong. It was punctuated by 911. Could it be turned around? I suppose so, but Bernie was eclipsed. Maybe Elizabeth Warren...

Personally I hate that we started using the PC term by calling them alt right, I preferred when we just referred to them as neo-Nazis and inbred rednecks.
I had a dream the other night in which I fell under the influence of an entire neighborhood of these people. They had no regard for truth and I was in their thrall and struggling to escape.

I have friends, family and co workers who voted Trump. Smart people and idiots. Rich and poor. Rednecks and big city sophisticates. Covers pretty much the entire spectrum.
Let me tell you something. Your "smart" friends aren't very smart.

This is a microcosm of the Trump supporter thinking. They simply do not have the ability to evaluate things in context, longitudinally, or from a different perspective. At their roots they are not skeptics, they're believers.

It's very easy to just say that, but until Dems figure out the why, they are going to have a hard time winning back power. Denial isn't a solution.
