“Donald Trump is, without question, the most powerful man that the planet has ever known- by a long way. Historically, powerful people were characterised by brutal conquest and the fear that they instilled in the populations that came under their influence. Common names that would come to mind are Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Tamburlaine, Napoleon and, more recently, Hitler, Mao, and Stalin,” read the letter. “The overwhelming difference between each of the above when compared with President Trump is their lack of global reach. Their power was limited to restricted local areas (even though some of these areas were quite large in a local context). They had nowhere near the control over modern logistics, manpower, technology, and the global economic muscle that President Trump can enforce."
The extermination camps were origionally created to be deportation camps in 1930s Germany too. It wasn’t until the Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942 that they dreamed up the official policy of extermination. History doesn’t repeat, but it sure as fuck rhymes.
“Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Tamburlaine, Napoleon and, more recently, Hitler, Mao, and Stalin”
The only difference between Trump and these people is reach… wow.
Just to be clear, those people in order are 1. Brutal conqueror and mass murderer. 2. Mass murdering and enslaving dictator that destroyed a democratic republic. 3. Genociding conqueror that used plague-ridden corpses for biological warfare. 4. A massacring terrorist warlord. 5. A fictional character… of a rags-to-riches shepherd turned ruthless, brutal conquering emporer. 6. Conquering warlord emperor with a secret police force whose reforms included curtailing civil liberties like free press, rolling back women’s rights, and reinstituting slavery in France. 7. Fucking HITLER. The guy who invaded and/or bombed most of Europe, deployed the Gestapo to monitor the citizenry and kill the insufficiently loyal, who stole the property and wealth of millions of Jews, Blacks, Gays, Gypsies, etc. before rounding them up in camps, and systematically killing them off as they worked and starved them to death. That Hitler. 8. The authoritarian leader whose reforms for the economy, agriculture and culture led to famine, political violence, mass imprisonment, and labor camps, that collectively led to the deaths of tens of millions. 9. A totalitarian that imprisoned and killed political rivals, had mass networks of forced labor camps, created famine by stealing food for the state, helped set off World War 2 by allying with Hitlet to divide Poland, and directly killed millions of his own citizens.
What a fucking who’s who of people I would absolutely be livid to be compared to that you have willingly decided are your peers and role models. Jesus. H. Fucking. Christ. How do you still have any goddammit support from anyone that isn’t openly a fascist at this point? How ignorant are people that you can endorse something like this, completely out in the open, and still have your freedom, let alone the most powerful position in the world. Trump supporters are going to one day claim they didn’t know. Don’t let them. Shut that shit down now. He’s making absolutley no secret of his intentions.
