Gonna be real these social media users cry out nazi so much...
I'm to the point of genuinely wanting the real nazis into power for 5 minutes so they can get a quick reality check of what any of the words they use ACTUALLY mean and stop acting like any of this is even close.
They can see real dictators in other countries and compare to here. They just believe lying and exaggerating is morally OK because it would result in their side winning
They’d probably like it. When the Nazis took power their short term gains were seen as a “miracle” to the international community. They expanded social programs, social insurance, and mother and child welfare. Unemployment went down (as did real wages in some areas so a negative) Granted the undesirables didn’t receive these social benefits, but around 60-70% of the population both qualified as desirable and didn’t go against the regime. Arguably 40% of the US could qualify to their standards.
Basically they’d probably like them in the short term but their gains are again short term so it’ll take a while before they get the huge negatives. The big question would be would they care?
To most inside and outside the country, the Nazis had saved the economy. The fact that they were purging all the academics, leftists, Jews, and LGBT people didn't really matter to those being saved from the Great Depression. Not that they had much of a choice at that point.
Was gonna say this, its easy to have morals when you have a full stomach. Its another thing when a loaf of bread is unaffordable. The Great Depression hit Germany harder than most nations, and they were desperate for a solution to their problems.
US loans had stabilized the German post-war economy only for the US to also have an economic collapse. Germans were desperate for anyone who could promise a more permanent economic recovery that didn't rely on foreign aid. There were even Jewish organizations who supported the Nazi cause thinking the anti-Semitic parts of their policy were just bluster
Well if you want Nazis in power for 5 minutes all you gotta do is vote a democrat back into office. I mean they pretty openly want the same thing. Just replace the word Jews with white Christian nationalists an you got their beliefs in a nutshell.
Oh yeah. My father was born in the 40s and got drafted for war.
He aint got no tolerance for no bullshit lol.
Im very blessed to be raised by him. Sure, at the time I thought he was hard on me, but now I see why, the world is hard. I have the success I have because of him.
Yup. Nowadays, I see people going full meltdown over a game patching their favorite weapon. You would have thought someone had burned their house down by the response.
I would venture to say that the phones were the path to the cause, but lack of thought training is the root problem. Many who have learned to think critically have phones and are not like this. Lazy brained humans is the problem.
Phones and social networking apps deliver unfiltered, exaggerated, politicized doomer messaging to minds that lack the experience to critically analyze and filter it.
If you truly believed that, why are you doing about it? In that sense, I respect Greta despite disagreeing with her doomer worldview. Social media and phones have conditioned a generation to think that clicktivism and sick burns on Twitter = action. So yeah, it’s those pesky iPhones.
"The nazis are back therefore the "against nazis" party willingly and peacefully gave up their power to nazis and no even though literal nazis are back i will not try to leave the country because deep down im just lying to myself"
The destroyed economy and work one are kind of true
I live in a country where previous generations have had it exponentially better, and voted our country into extreme debt and fiscal mismanagement that’ll take generations to pay off
This is unfortunately true. However, it is amusing to see people who think they are oh so screwed because the world isnt in a perfect state for them to lounge and do nothing
That’s true, and the Nazi. + dying earth part is just straight doomer logic
I also agree smart phones don’t help at all, sometimes ignorance is bliss in regard to living in this f’d up world. Throughout most of history tragedy still happened often, but you wouldn’t get brigaded with the trauma and images of it compared to nowadays where we see daily incidents and tragedy
I'm a veteran. I have $70,000 saved for a down payment on a house. Why exactly is it that a literal trailer is $300,000 in my area and would still cost me 1400$/mo after said down payment with the VA loan? I worked 80 hour weeks for several years to make that happen. My parents and grandparents have never worked an 80 hour week in their lives. They have houses (plural), I don't have one.
You can't go outside because it's suburbia? That's where we all grew up. Some even in actual cities. We all enjoyed the outdoors. Are their no parks in your suburbs? Walking trails? Tennis courts? Basketball courts? Their are lots of options.
I’ve seen posts like it but the whole Nazi bit tipped me off that this was recent. Also its a joke post with me making fun of the OP, did you check the sub you were in?
Like this dipshit has any experience with acid rain or 20% inflation. Drop this “bundle of sticks” into the 1970’s and they’d curl up in a ball and start crying!!!
Nazi. Fascist. MAGA. Brown shirt. Trump. Billionaire. Etc...
The best part is all these basement dwelling, picked last in gym class, never went to prom, never made a team, sat alone at lunch, failure to thrivers, sit at a particle board ikea desk all day, hudled together in a corner of the internet, smelling each other's self-loathing farts, thinking they're accomplishing something and all they're doing is placating each other while doing shit and the "bad guys" they hate are laughing as they make money of the goods and services they use to sit in their basement all day and cry.
Don't worry the UN climate conference bulldozed several miles of Amazon rainforest to help with alleviating traffic for the people flying in on their private jets for the event. Spending billions in the process. I'm sure they'll figure out how to fix the whole planet is dying issue.
Climate Change was just massively overblown, the big main study everyone cited got pulled because it used flawed evidence. and even Bill Gates said it was overblown
I actually don’t blame the parents for blaming it on iPhones though, because you kids be doomscrolling on Reddit and X for 13 hours a day instead of making something of yourselves! No wonder they feel bad if they don’t do anything all day except rot in bed and scroll on their phones!
When I was growing up I had no access to any of this information, I was just tasked with being a kid and growing up. It's most definitely phones and the Internet that are having a massive impact on shit now.

These people always think saddam should have stayed in power too
These are the types that praise people like Putin, Assad, and Maduro.
And wear Che tshirts.
I don't disagree but don't discount the number that actually believe it
They might like the nazi’s policies too much tho
They’d probably like it. When the Nazis took power their short term gains were seen as a “miracle” to the international community.

Pretty much, if you were about 60-70% of the country it was going well for the most part in the beginning.
Was gonna say this, its easy to have morals when you have a full stomach. Its another thing when a loaf of bread is unaffordable. The Great Depression hit Germany harder than most nations, and they were desperate for a solution to their problems.

Factually correct.
One of the best kinds of correct, only second to technically correct
someone is going to take a screenshot of this without context and post it to a circlejerk

What about when all the law agencies and non profits “crying nazi so much” ?
Well if you want Nazis in power for 5 minutes all you gotta do is vote a democrat back into office. I mean they pretty openly want the same thing. Just replace the word Jews with white Christian nationalists an you got their beliefs in a nutshell.
Okay but Israel right now is doing the same stuff done to them. Its not okay and ignoring obvious signs of issues really isnt good.
... what?
The nazi thing. The jews whole war with gaza
Kinda IS the iPhones since that's where all these kids are getting completely brainwashed with dooming stupidity.
Lol came to say this. Turns out it WAS the phones the whole time 😂😂
Yup. Nobody can sell me on the fact that kids today have it harder. It's just factually not true.
We just had a strong generation create easy times, which created weak people.
A lot of people are just mentally weak nowadays days and phones are constantly dooming which does not help at all.
Yip.. and their dooming is reinforced by other Nancy's.
When I was a whiney teenager my dad just told me to shut up and get a job, that was the end of it, no more discussion.
Oh yeah. My father was born in the 40s and got drafted for war.
He aint got no tolerance for no bullshit lol.
Im very blessed to be raised by him. Sure, at the time I thought he was hard on me, but now I see why, the world is hard. I have the success I have because of him.
Ya, mine didn't take any shit... but he was awesome and led by example.
Mow the lawn today before you leave
"It's not my turn it's my brothers!"
Now it's your turn for the next two weeks, any other complaints?
"No sir "
That's what I thought
Yup. Nowadays, I see people going full meltdown over a game patching their favorite weapon. You would have thought someone had burned their house down by the response.
When i was 14 i told my dad to fuck off. He calmly explained why i shouldnt do that by slapping me so hard it left a mark.
Lesson learnt. Never disrespected authority again. Teenagers today are needing cops to teach them that lesson when they arrest them.
my father was born in the 40s so when i came around he knew he could not catch me so he didnt try.
I did something wrong, I would not know when it would happen, but days later he would kick me in the ass.
What I learned? You do something wrong, and it may not catch up to you in the moment but it will catch up with you down the road.
I have never been arrested once. I know the fuckers will just catch me later.
I would venture to say that the phones were the path to the cause, but lack of thought training is the root problem. Many who have learned to think critically have phones and are not like this. Lazy brained humans is the problem.
It definitely is the phones.
They got (getting it) from government schools.
And don't blame most gen z to be depressed, Our generation irl is more Optimistic
I agree
Cam here to say this. It's the constant connection to social media that makes them feel this way.
could've been an android too
Maybe even a blackberry.
Iphones and constant doomscrolling are a big part of this indeed.
Are nazis in the room with us?
Everyone but me is a nazi, obviously. So, about those jews and camps btw.... /j

"The nazis are back therefore the "against nazis" party willingly and peacefully gave up their power to nazis and no even though literal nazis are back i will not try to leave the country because deep down im just lying to myself"
So many manufactured fears.
It hasn’t occurred to them that it’s this exact propaganda that is the issue. Full stop.
And on top of that, the Nazis are back.
It only has 12 more years... 1970 1975 1980 1988 1996 2000 2009 2012 2018 2020 2024
The Earth is not dying. Conditions for living beings is deteriorating but the planet will be just fine.
Exactly. "Same the planet" that's BS. The planet will be fine. We just want it to be comfortable. But we aren't saving anything.
Sure, but I think we all understand what the guy actually meant.
You're right I just think we're exaggerating things too often these days. It takes away from the meaning of exaggerations.
Funny fact, even after detonation of every nucler wepon on planet Earth would be fine in roghly 200 yers.
Earth gonna be fine.
What they are saying is... they miss the good old days.

Parents aren't wrong, those iphones sure have spooked them into thinking the earth is dying and nazis are back.
I suppose if I believed any of that twaddle I’d probably be upset too 😆
Kids - "the earth is dying!" As they refuse to enjoy the outdoors in favor of their cell phones, video games, and streaming services. Yeah, ok kids.
In all fairness, my “outdoors” is a sprawl of suburbia. So not many options for me and millions of others in that others
You can't go outside because it's suburbia? That's where we all grew up. Some even in actual cities. We all enjoyed the outdoors. Are their no parks in your suburbs? Walking trails? Tennis courts? Basketball courts? Their are lots of options.
Oh please I've seen this post since pre-covid, and to be honest, while events might not be the best, it beats being in past eras up to the 90s
The 90s were rad in the US. No wars, no real global enemies, thriving economy. Good times.
I’ve seen posts like it but the whole Nazi bit tipped me off that this was recent. Also its a joke post with me making fun of the OP, did you check the sub you were in?
Ya ofc. They've literally been saying the Earth is dying for years!
Oh nvm i misinterpreted what you were saying
Like this dipshit has any experience with acid rain or 20% inflation. Drop this “bundle of sticks” into the 1970’s and they’d curl up in a ball and start crying!!!
Parents are right on this. Some people aren't mature enough for social media.

Hmm...
-The economy/average living conditions are still better than they historically were for virtually all humans who ever lived (privileged much?)
-"The earth is dying" is a statement so vague that it can safely be ignored, or simply referred to point 1 ^^^
-The norm throughout human history is to work in some form until death/close to death; the modern concept of retirement is pretty novel.
-Normal nazi hyperbole, need I say more...
Nazi. Fascist. MAGA. Brown shirt. Trump. Billionaire. Etc...

Those useful idiots! Those commie wannabes and islamo fascist droids.
Don't worry the UN climate conference bulldozed several miles of Amazon rainforest to help with alleviating traffic for the people flying in on their private jets for the event. Spending billions in the process. I'm sure they'll figure out how to fix the whole planet is dying issue.
I feel bad for kids who have been taught this bullshit all their lives.
Climate Change was just massively overblown, the big main study everyone cited got pulled because it used flawed evidence. and even Bill Gates said it was overblown
Stop exposing your kids to politics,don't let them doomscroll,don't let them waste time on political subreddits,and it will be fixed.
Get them to play a sport or something to pass the time instead.
I think like late teens is when you introduce them to politics. If they are gonna vote in a couple years they need to know what they are doing
I actually don’t blame the parents for blaming it on iPhones though, because you kids be doomscrolling on Reddit and X for 13 hours a day instead of making something of yourselves! No wonder they feel bad if they don’t do anything all day except rot in bed and scroll on their phones!
How would the kids know about any of those things?
The Nazis aren't back unfortunately but everything else is true
When I was growing up I had no access to any of this information, I was just tasked with being a kid and growing up. It's most definitely phones and the Internet that are having a massive impact on shit now.
I do see more Nazis out than I used to.
"Nazis are back" No, the goalposts moved
If you think the economy is shit now, you're going to be in for quite a surprise when it's actually shit.
If everyone is unhappy there is a problem.
