Do these new throbbers make any reference to this? I don't know, but I keep seeing this slogan showing up on t shirts worn by Proud Boy types that says "Pinochet Did Nothing Wrong". Someone at the MAGA march in DC had a sign that said "We're Coming for Blacks and Indians First". The real extremists among them want to emulate the Nazis and kill as many of their enemies as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for any offence as non was meant at all It's harder than that to offend me, brother! It did fit perfectly, you're right. My reply was more that I was conscious either nobody had ever mentioned it or that it had gone unnoticed. I was living in Nuremberg when I signed up to VT - indeed for my first 6 years as a member - but without context, I'm amazed I've not been accused of being a N*zi... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Extremist politics tends to break out after a political crisis, like WW1. After Covid and the onset of an economic crisis, a lurch to the right was always a possibility. Although it has to be said that even if the political rhetoric sounds extreme, it does not necessarily follow that the politicians will do what they promise. I don't think any country can afford to become isolationist in such a globalist world order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
