Sorry
That’s Glen Beck speak
It doesn’t work
How is it6 Glen Beck speak when I have not seen or heard from him for five years? Most Republicans I know have no clue about the inner workings of totalitarianism. And, no one seems to realize the danger we are in.
Slight correction. The video showed several police guarding the doors outside the room the shot came from. The crowd tried to enter the locked room & broke the door glass with their blows. The police outside didn’t present any weapons to stop the mob. They stepped aside as the crowd was ready to open the door. They were vastly outnumbered.
The woman was close to the people heading toward the door.
A hand holding a handgun was shown on the room inside the door. As the crowd moved forward, the arm & hand holding the pistol lunged forward & fired one shot at the crowd.
It wasn’t a select fire M4.
There’s lots of incorrect details out there.
But, she’s dead regardless.
I think the person firing panicked as it appeared the crowd was ready to finish breaking in through the door.
Your comment is excellent. Much appreciated. I plan to send it to my brother.
The George Kennans and Samuel Huntingtons regarded Nazism as sui generis not belonging on the political spectrum at all.
It was a criminal regime blended out of German mysticism, the occult, eugenics, visions of the Roman empire, militarism, revenge for WWI, and whatever else fueled Hitler’s mad imagination.
We will continue to get treated to charts and graphs “proving” that it was either Right or Left until WWII is so far in the past that it completely fades from memory. Those who read Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich should dismiss those arguments as the opportunistic B.S. that they are.
I can’t imagine true Trump supporters staging such an idiotic, self-defeating event.
Whatever Nazism was, it was totalitarian. The spectrum puts the totalitarians in whatever mechanism they used to enslave people all together. Its like cars that all have different hardware to make them run. If their mechanism is faulty, we put them all in the category of “lemons.”
Totalitarians come in all sorts of flavors. The attempt to force Nazism into a current paradigm of Right and Left is opportunistic nonsense by both sides.
Hitler’s ally all through the war was Imperial Japan. Where exactly did God-Man Hirohito and his imperial samurai fit on the graph? Was he a fellow socialist? Was the Empire of Japan even totalitarian? The USSR was a Hitler ally, until they weren’t when Hitler attacked them. Were they arguing over Marx? Don’t think so. There’s too much dumbing down of history going on, with a lot of it coming from pop-conservative speakers who prefer simplistic morality tales to messy facts.
I think Hirohito was a totalitarian. This essay makes the case:
“Heil Hirohito: Was Imperial Japan a Fascist Totalitarian State?”
Excellent
From the paper you linked to:
“In his seminal study of fascism, Robert Paxton argues that with the absence of a mass revolutionary party and a rupture from the incumbent regime, Imperial Japan was merely “an expansionist military dictatorship with a high degree of state-sponsored mobilization [rather] than as a fascist regime”
“no fascist party rose to power in Imperial Japan”
The author of the paper simply chooses to ignore the points made by Paxton, whom he acknowledges is an authority on fascism. Word games.
Tucker Carlson reported that all five deaths “due to the Capitol riot” were Trump supporters.
The policeman that was supposedly hit in the head with a fire extinguisher had no bruises or contusions on his body at autopsy and death was due to a stroke. He had a history of hypertension.
One woman was possibly accidentally trampled to death.
One man had a heart attack brought on by the excitement.
One woman was shot to death by a law enforcement man while entering the Capitol through a broken window.
One man died of a stroke outside the Capitol, no evidence that he rioted or was injured by a rioter.
Over 50 law enforcement personnel reported injured.
