Constantly flabbergasted by the sheer levels of cowardice on display by every. single. institution in this country.
I think it’s people not wanting to lose their jobs. They killed jobs so you have to hang on to the one you have. Even if it’s against your morals.
Does your family go hungry for principles? Quite the question.
In this case yes. It’s the fucking holocaust museum licking Nazi boots. There are other jobs.
“I was just following orders"
Fuck their jobs. Everyone who ever stood up for anything had a job to lose. They’re cowards, they’re complicit, and this goes for EVERY American sitting at home wringing their hands about the far right and doing fuck all about it.
it’s well beyond cowardice at this point. they’re eager to comply the second an EO is so much as hinted at. this is absolute subservience and I hope history remembers them.
That’s why leaders of companies and organizations make the big bucks. They’re there to make tough decisions and set a good example for the rest of us.
I’m constantly flabbergasted that Americans continue to expect institutions to do the resisting while they do nothing.
What do you mean, nothing? They did a parade and made signs! It was the BIGGEST parade! They all said “we don’t like this!” That wasn’t at all a big clown show- totally effective.
Well, . . . who do you think the institutions are?
And the people being blamed are the people considered to be in charge of the institutions. Not the other people “following orders”, not the people still patronizing the institutions, and not the people complaining about the institutions doing nothing why they do nothing themselves.
They gotcha by the mortgages.
Fun fact: the word “mortgage” means “death contract”
Same headline every day: Facist leader brings America further into Facism. Americans do nothing.
Some Americans are resisting in tons of different ways. There have been 24/7 “music festivals” (ICE protests that get labeled as music festivals because Tiktok will take down videos tagged with protests.) in LA and Portland for months now. Americans have been shot defending their neighbors, ICE agents have been shot.
It’s important to remember that the Billionaires control the news and they won’t air anything that makes it look like the common folk have a chance of resisting.
More reason public non profit news and radio is essential.
Also the reason those things are so expensive to run.
Show up in large groups, and show up ARMED.
C’mon man, you know Americans always do the right thing.
Once they’ve tried everything else.
hey that’s not fair, sometimes we try the wrong thing twice.
Well we gotta make sure that the wrong thing wasn’t actually the right thing we did wrong the first time around.
That’s included in “everything else”
Down in the Arkansas Delta, about 40 miles from anywhere, there’s lots of soybean fields. In one particular field, which you wouldn’t even notice if you weren’t looking for it, there is a small grove of trees.
If you walk around the perimeter, you’ll find little speaker boxes along the way. When you activate each one, you’ll hear the voice of none other than George Takei talking about the place you’re standing in. It’s the site of the Rohwer internment camp where thousands of Americans, including Takei, were shipped in by rail and held prisoner during WWII for no other reason than they were of Japanese descent.
There’s no sign of an internment camp there now. The only remains are monuments the prisoners built to their friends and family members who were killed fighting for the Allies.
Some people are stupid or naive enough to believe that the United States can do no wrong. Some are even arrogant enough to think that admitting we were wrong is “unpatriotic”. Yet, like every empire that has ever existed, the US has committed many wrongs. History cannot be erased, undone, or whitewashed, despite the pathetic attempts of sad despots. And if we choose not to learn from it, we will soon repeat it.
a field of soybeans that will go bad since tbe farmers have no one to sell them to…
That’s right folks! Being American now means you reject basic facts and history. Btw, did you know Tylenol causes Autism and its the gulf of America now?
Oh yeah, and if you don’t comply with the new “American” brainwashing you get targeted as a terrorist to America, the land of the free
That’s right folks! Being American now means you reject basic facts and history.
Yea no, they became what they are today by doing just that. Anything negative was swept under the rug, called anti-usa or censored. Nothing new about it.
With propangada for their public as the greatest country in the world while marketing themselves as the land of opportunity. It was obviously exploitation to make the rich people richer. But workers couldn’t be bothered with that as an embarrassed millionaire.
There’s a reason they control most of influential news/social media.
Now, they feel invincible, they’re just riding on propagandah. They feel they don’t need the smartest people driven with brain drain around the world.
Just FYI: The Holocaust museum is NOT part of the Smithsonian. They have even more reason to give King Diapers the finger but they’re voluntarily bending the knee.
Oh its more than one stupid person. American diversion from reality has been in the making for over a decade.
Actually even longer. Fox News was thought up after Nixon’s resignation with the expressed intent of making sure that a conservative politician would never have to face consequences like that again.
Try since WWII at least.
Yeah up until 2016 we were just minding our own business invading other countries for oil.
And the genius of it was that no one (other than the invaded countries) really cared because the US accumulated so much soft power, goodwill and general positive impression. Trump undid in a few months what took generations to build.

I’d like to think Americas reputation has been down the pan for decades. They’re warmongering, other country meddling, global terrorists at best.
The people can be alright, but the government are no better than the people they tell us to hate.
For now, at least, the information and artifacts are being preserved.
If they stay in power past 2028, that will end, they’ll start destroying it permanently, when they find it.
We need to get this stuff out of the country, someplace safer. Perhaps Germany?
Ironically the US Holocaust Museum is basically a part of Israel’s PR wing and has done extensive work in whitewashing Israel’s modern-day Holocaust in Palestine, even saying that “Never again” only means “never again for Jews” and genocides of other people is OK. It should be shut down for that reason, not Trump’s.

US Holocaust museum removes anti-genocide post amid Gaza atrocities
US Holocaust Memorial Museum Board Member Calls Gazans “Fundamentally Evil”
US Holocaust Museum accuses Mamdani of ‘exploiting’ Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Here’s a post from their own blog, saying that it’s antisemetic to not be a Zionist (“All sectors of society must condemn antisemitism, including anti-Zionism.”)
So yeah, fuck 'em.
“It’s appalling that a museum established for the purpose of educating the public about genocide and the Holocaust not only refuses to acknowledge the reality of Israel’s actions in Gaza, but [is] removing a social media post that merely stated that ‘never again’ is not intended for just Jews, in order for it to not be interpreted as a response to the genocide in Gaza.”
Wow. That’s from the first link. I didn’t get to the rest.
That last one. YIKES.
[…] said United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Chairman Stuart E. Eizenstat. “All sectors of society must unflinchingly confront antisemitism in all of its forms—including anti-Zionism—before it provokes more violence against innocent people. […]"
The deafening irony of that statement. I know what’s intended, but it can also be read as meaning to confront the twisted and redefined form of antisemitism itself. Which is to say: divorce it of anything to do with zionism.
Never againHello, anyone there? Israel? ADL? Any comment on this?
Trump gave them a blank check to exterminate Palestinians, so what’a a little fascism between friends.
Pretty soon that museum is going to need an Israeli wing…
You couldn’t make this shit up.
You could, but nobody would buy your book / movie / show / game /sextoy
What the difference between a pro-america sextoy vs an anti-america one?
Last week, through a sad chain of sycophancy, the Holocaust Museum was forced to make the following compromise: “Never again means never again only for Jews.”
The “genocide is bad” thinking is part of the woke mind virus that just hates America and loves abortions.
FYI, the money behind holocaust museum was always meant to promote Zionism, and Zionazi colonialism, apartheid, and genocide and rule over America. They could have just said “Americans under a Democratic Administration.” to better align with US government’s fake partisan view on Zionazi rule.
So they want to cover up the truth that people in the US lobbied the whole world to not to take the Jews in leading to the final solution. Don’t forget providing material support to the Nazi and IBM lending the computer power to make the final solution a reality.
Does it remind you of another genocide taking place that wouldn’t be happening without the support and help from the US government and their corporations?
It is almost like we were never the good guys and WWII was just one fascist nation cleaning up another fascist nation’s mess.
The US didn’t “clean up” in WWII. The red army won that war. The US just pretends it did, like it always fucking does.
Fair enough, the US certainly likes to take credit and then dodge accountability.
I was with you up until the end there.
It is okay, a lot of people cannot accept the truth that the US has been a fascist nation for a long time. Depending on how you interpret the revolutionary war it was always a proto-fascist nation.
Mm. Well, gonna disagree, but that’s okay! We agree the fascism openly being practiced today is abhorrent and must be obliterated.
You can of course disagree. But I would like to ask your opinion of the US toppling countless democracies to install fascist dictatorships during the Cold War. This is just one of many examples that highlight all is not what it seems.
“Countless” is a bit of a stretch, and really isn’t until the 1900s but yes in general that’s some imperialistic bullshit. Things that were kept from everyone for decades because they wouldn’t have been able to do it if it was out in the open. (Now is a very different time that has taken them decades and trillions of dollars to manufacture.) A closer look at any of those operations will reveal the usual suspects of militarism, racism, and enormous oceans of money. Those persons did not make up the whole of the country, then or now.
Fair enough and I agree that not all people in the US are wealthy militaristic authoritarian racists (aka fascists). Just those in charge I suppose.
Wow, you wrote a lot of words to agree with the person you’re saying you disagree with.
Yeah that’s how discussion works.
Snarky asshole retorts are in the next thread down.
They think if everyone just agrees with them, that in and of itself presents a solution. That’s their schtick. They said they don’t believe the United States is becoming more fascist – I’ll assume because it’s already fully institutionalized. They’ll point out problems and never solutions because they offer nothing of substance. It’s just a child-like mind with access to an LLM. Their post history should reveal everything you need to know.
