Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be arrested and sent to the infamous American torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. Mamdani’s crime? Calling indicted alleged war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an “architect of genocide,” responsible for a series of atrocities in the ongoing war on Gaza.
“Sooner or later,” Mamdani will “do something more stupid than what he’s done, where we will finally say enough is enough, go put the handcuffs on him … and send him to Gitmo,” Tuberville, a Republican, said, calling Mamdani a “thug.”
Ha ha go fuck yourself MAGAt moron.
Also pretty sure the entirety of NY would put up a fight over that if they tried.
Stripping an American of rights and locking him up in a gulag?
Tuberville is un-American and I wish his voters knew or cared.
They know. They approve because he’s hurting the ‘right people.’
*the left people
Alabama is the worst state in the union, and Alabamians are the worst, look at who they voted for
Guy from Alabama says some dumb shit. News at 11…
He’s actually a Florida Man from Florida these days. He only pretends to be an Alabamian to hold down an Alabama Senate seat.
Alabama is the worst state in the union
These snowflakes are terrified of this guy.
If I spent my career pretending to be indignant at the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the government while cosplaying as someone trying to fix the problem, I’d also be scared of the guy who showed it’s not only possible to bring about positive change, but possible to do in less than one term.
They really will do or say anything but their job, huh?
If we’re being real, Mamdami hasn’t even gotten his big plans rolling yet. He passed an easy tax (for people owning houses that don’t even live in NYC) and fixed some potholes. His biggest win was bartering with the state government to get more support (instead of the dreaded “tax the rich”). The rest was normal stuff with good PR aimed at the 21st century. That’s it.
But these relics spent decades minmaxing for cable news and can’t look human on social media at all. They are used to saying words then doing nothing. The bar is that low and they are scared at a dude bending his knees (he hasn’t even jumped yet).
At least they are finally breaking their fake decorum and sayong the quiet parts out loud. Makes it so much easier to tear down in the long term.
Conservatives have to demonize socialism because they know it’s the only possible thing that could pose a realistic threat to their greedy, cruel and self-serving lifestyles.
I’ll always laugh at this, it fits everything
I’m really curious if he/they recognized the meme potential of this when they made it. They both seem pretty smart, so I think it has to be a consideration at least. Maybe it was the entire goal? Regardless, it’s perfect and I love seeing it every time.
Core Features
One Ruler: Power belongs to a single leader or a small group with no free elections.
Extreme Pride: People are taught to love their country above all else, often looking down on other groups.
No Freedom: The government uses police and military force to silence anyone who disagrees.
Strict Control: Businesses and daily life are heavily watched and run to match the goals of the state.
What does history teach us about stopping fascism?
Historical anachronism it would’ve been a 1911, Webley revolver, Soviet Nagant, or whatever the fuck the French had look I don’t know French guns.
Ironically I passed over an image of a 1911 because I figured the glock would be more recognized in this day and age
It is, no conservative would admit it though
I would take the last one… but it seems more the contrary these days
Edit: probably it wasn’t clear: I meant the business part. People are not influencing the state evidently
I would take the nationalization of vital industries, like space travel, air travel, trains, education, and healthcare… but
yeah, not that.
Automatic license plate reader (ALPR) companies like Flock Safety are quietly trying to build a nationwide mass surveillance system. If there are Flock cameras in your city, they are tracking, logging, and sharing your movements without a warrant.
Added an edit given it wasn’t clear
Fascism is heavily contradictory. Maybe Joe’ shop is watched carefully for making gay cakes, but WalMart will do whatever they want as long as they donate a ballroom every few years
Historical fascism wasn’t like that: big companies were watched more closely. Each director board of a large company needed to have at least one representative of the fascist party.
Of course, the question is what you do with that power. And there probably fascism fails the “evil test”
But in principle I think that business (especially big business) should serve the common interest (represented by the state) and not the other way around
Yeah, I know what you mean. Sadly, our fascism is a really, really stupid form based around a teenager’s fantasy of a dictatorship. Trump doesn’t care about the potential of large private corporations usurping the throne so he let’s then run free as long as they kiss the ring.
If this managed to extend to decades instead of years (and somehow Trump lived that long), it’d be such a predictable ending for him.
It’s also kinda wrong for fascism, in that in a lot of ways, fascism in practice is a sort of merger of the state and big business.
They’re pissing their pants.
“The poors are learning about socialism!”
This is what it’s about. Thank you.
It’s not just socialism, it’s kindness and the exemplification of a civil servant actually seeking to serve the will of the people.
In many ways, we’re simply talking about the concept of a true republic here.
This is a rare vision of the America the founding fathers envisioned.
Can you name a socialist country that is doing well?
What kind of socialism are you referring to? That’s a pretty wide net you’re casting.
Social democracy (which is technically still capitalism)? Democratic socialism with decentralized authority? Anarchism? Union socialism?
Or are you just looking at examples of Stalinism, Maoism and Marxist-Leninist socialism? Libertarian socialism?
Do you realize the price of change is human life with any society? Capitalism has cost countless lives and the death toll is increasing.
I hate my spouse so fucking much
And comparatively basically every "developed’ nation is doing better than the USA.
Sure they have their problems but at least they get affordable health care and time off work
Not socialist but social democracies.
Socialism is when WORKERS OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION.
These two countries are both free market privately owned economies. They both have extream(for the USA) regulations when it comes to how private enterprise can operate but at the end of the day they are both 100% capitalists.
Hmm…
Sweden is a highly developed country ranked fifth in the Human Development Index. It is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden
Sweden has achieved a high standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Sweden
As a unitary state with a constitutional monarchy, Norway divides state power between the parliament, the cabinet, and the judiciary, as determined by the 1814 constitution.
The Norwegian economy is an example of a mixed economy; a prosperous capitalist welfare state, it features a combination of free market activity and large state ownership in certain key sectors, influenced by both liberal governments from the late 19th century and later by social democratic governments in the postwar era.
Exactly, not socialist.
I feel like we should have a list of all these unhinged politicians top donors and their addresses for situations like this.
This fucktwat will do anything to distract from the fact that he’s a moron and a person who committed election fraud.
Ironically, this rhetoric from a politician should be an arrestable offense.
That doesnt sound very democratic of him
This should be an impeachable offense for any elected official.
I agree! And since we’re dreaming, we need a way for the People to directly impeach federal
employeeselected or appointed officials (edited). I’m so sick of witnessing impeachable offenses on a daily basis while our “representatives” sit on their thumbs, counting their bribes.Absolutely not federal employees, federally elected officials yes.
You don’t want to empower random people with the ability to fire Dan at the CDC for working on the covid vaccine. Dan is a federal employee
Agreed. I edited accordingly. Thanks.
When politicians say things like that with no repercussions, that’s when you should know you are no longer in a respectable democracy
Yea, any respectable democracy would have shut the city down with protests until this fuckwit steps down.
For the fuckests of sakes, you had a president who had to step down because he got a blowjob. Granted, that wasn’t okay, but calling for imprisonment and possible torture of your political opponents because they give half a shit about international law is fucking insane.
Clinton did not step down because he got a blowjob. He did not step down at all, in fact.
Right, brainfart, impeached.
It stopped being a respectable democracy when Trump mocked a disabled reporter and was still able to continue his campaign with no consequences
Another American Politician showing more care for Israel and Bibi than for his own constituents or country.
God we really, desperately need to root these people out of seats of power.
A senator openly calls for arresting a mayor, without naming any crimes, since none were committed, and sending him to the illegal prison where only innocent people are sent and tortured for no reason other than guards’ enjoyment.
People like him belong in high security prisons, ideally far away from society. Assuming they won’t receive capital punishment.
You don’t need crimes or due process if you send them to an illegal prison. That’s the whole point of an illegal prison.
With shit like this “protecting democracy” or “preserve our institutions” sounds so fucking hollow. “Protect our way of life” becomes a fascist dog whistle than just an actual desire for security.
So, exactly on brand from the grand old pedo party
A cage in the desert is fine. Pay minimun wage for an intern to feed him.
The high security prison will likely end up being a five star hotel where he gets full access to the outside anyhow.
