    100 days or so in and it’s fair to say things won’t get any better anytime soon.
    Not even 70. It just seems much, much longer.

    People tell him the Haitians are eating all their domestic pets, or is it domestic pets are eating all the Haitians?

    Assuming it's true, I'm almost lost for words that this stuff a) is happening and b) won't even register as a bad thing for far too many people.

    It blows my mind that America voted that prick back in to the White House.

    (Soon to be) Former President Donald Trump

    So it’s back to Greenland for Trump and co today. Dropping hints that Russia and China are interested in Greenland. Planting the seed in their supporters sparse brains and those hanging on their every single word.

    Vance today :

    Greenland is extremely vulnerable right now and thinks Greenlanders will want to partner with the US despite opinion polls showing widespread opposition from the local population to US governance.

    WTAF. He’s going to do a Putin!

    As Hibs fans I reckon we should be against the threats made against a place called Greenland.

    After Canada standing up to Trump and cutting ties with America, Trump is now playing nice and calling the Mark Carney Prime Minisyer rather than governor as he was with Justin Trudeau.

    The thought of Canada aligning more with Europe no doubt has led to it.

    That’s how you stand up to a bully, well done Canada

    Trumps comments about Russian and Chinese ships in the waters around Greenland are just plain stupid. Nae **** Sherlock. They’ve been in and around these waters for decades.

    And please excuse my ignorance in most of this but I didn’t realise Greenland was rich in trillion upon trillions of dollars worth of minerals.

    There’s the real reason Trump wants to control Greenland.

    I think we’re more likely to see a civil war in the US than an attempt to take Greenland.

    I watched a programme years ago on discovery about these Americans that went to Greenland to try and mine rare minerals. A gold rush type programme. That got hee haw because it was so difficult to extract

    I think I watched some of that. Six or seven of them?

    Thing is they would destroy the landscape/land and use huge industrial machines unlike those guys who used picks and hammers.

    Yeah that’s the one! They would use industrial machines but the land was so remote and up and down mountains. I suspect it would be hard to get machinery in.

    It’s like Ukraine, theoretical resources of trillions but how much is recoverable? In saying that I’d imagine Ukraine is far easier than Greenland.

    You make jokes, but the parallels to a previous fascist keep coming thick and fast:



    A little food for thought ...

    In 1923, Adolf Hitler called for an uprising against the German government. He was put on trial, but received only a lenient sentence and became a convicted felon. Despite the judge's lenient treatment, Hitler claimed that the trial was a political persecution and successfully portrayed himself as a victim of the "corrupt" Social Democrats.

    He skilfully staged himself as the voice of the "common man", railed against the "elites", cultural "decadence" and the establishment, all of whom he described as "Marxists". Hitler claimed that the education system was indoctrinating children to hate Germany and promised to lead the country back to greatness.

    To consolidate his following, Hitler made minorities the scapegoats for the nation's problems and exploited social divisions with "us against them" rhetoric. Many Germans fell for it. The NSDAP continued to gain popularity until Hitler became Reich Chancellor in 1933.

    Hitler appointed German oligarchs as his economic advisors and privatised state-run utilities to secure the support of the business elite. While the working class was divided along cultural and ethnic lines, the Nazis closed trade unions and banned strikes.

    Progressive forces and union members were arrested and sent to concentration camps. Corporate profits skyrocketed while workers in Germany lived from pay cheque to pay cheque. Hitler himself became a billionaire during his time in office. He and his clique of oligarchs knew they could get away with their scam as long as they constantly presented an "enemy within" to blame while corporate rule plundered the country.

    An easy target was one of the smallest minorities. Hitler stripped Jews of their birthright to German citizenship and began arresting them for mass deportations on the grounds that they were "illegally" in the country. The German press under Nazi control highlighted cases of violence by Jews to convince the public that Jewish immigrants were a danger to the "real Germans".

    Hitler wasted no time in dismantling democratic institutions. Loyalty was not only encouraged, but demanded. Opponents were silenced, and media who dared to criticise him were vilified as "enemies" and "Marxists".

    Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels boasted that the Nazis had intimidated the media into giving them favourable coverage without having to give direct orders.

    The Nazi regime and its supporters collected all books that they saw as promoting "decadence" or what would today be called "woke" and burned them in huge bonfires. They also burned books that promoted class consciousness.

    Berlin had a thriving LGBTQ community in the 1920s, including the first transgender clinic. The Nazis burned it down. LGBTQ people were sent to concentration camps and had to wear pink triangle badges. Many were murdered in the Holocaust.

    The Nazis also saw masculinity threatened by independent women who were not dependent on men. In 1934, Hitler proclaimed: "A woman's world is her husband, her family, her children, her home." Laws that had protected women's rights were repealed and new laws restricted women to the role of wives and mothers.

    Reproductive rights were massively curtailed and doctors who performed abortions could face the death penalty.

    Despite all this, the Germans had no comparable historical warning to look back on. Most people did not behave as if doom was imminent.

    Most went on with their lives as usual - until many of them were wiped out. When Hitler's reign was finally ended by the Allies, 11 million people had been murdered in the Holocaust and 70 to 85 million people died in the Second World War.

    It started with the NSDAP or MAGA, just as it does today.

    I'd never see this as a joke, there's some very valid observations in what you say.

    And as someone who has read a helluva lot about the monstrosities that were the Nazi party, their pre and post 1936 rise and methodology, coupled with the warped and dangerous personalities who Hitler surrounded himself with (and why) the similarities are deeply concerning for anyone or anything these fanatical cowards happen to focus on next.
