I knew this slush fund shit sounded familiar.

@BrianJopek on the one hand, I'm upset. OTOH, I thought we were at '35 or '36

@BrianJopek

Isn't that tantamount to aiding and abiding the enemy. Aren't there rules against actions like.

[brianjopek@mastodon.world]

@A_Minion Well, there’s supposed to be

[a_minion@mastodon.social]

@BrianJopek

US Constitution
Article 3
Section 3
Clause 1

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act . . .

Can we get a Witness? A second?

@juliehuz @BrianJopek It was probably Stephen Miller who read it for him.

[dascandy@infosec.exchange]

@BrianJopek so that puts us half a year before the end of free elections?

[vgoller@nrw.social]

@BrianJopek copy cats. Not a single genuine own idea.

@BrianJopek Place your bets for the paedophile felon’s Enabling Act 1933.

“By allowing the chancellor to override the checks and balances in the constitution, the Enabling Act of 1933 was a pivotal step in the transition from the democratic Weimar Republic to the totalitarian dictatorship of Nazi Germany.”

@crazyeddie @BrianJopek “Throughout his rise to power, Hitler neglected to pay taxes on his income and allowances. In 1934 […], the tax office of Munich sent Hitler a fine of 405,494 ℛ︁ℳ︁, equivalent to €1.92 million in 2021, for failing to declare his income or file tax returns. He was given only eight days to pay off this debt. Hitler responded by ordering a state secretary of the ministry of finance to intervene, and became tax-exempt.”

@BrianJopek Tell me more about how it’s not fascism yet..

[eribosot@mastodon.social]

@scubapro28 @BrianJopek It's similar, but not the same. The claim in the screenshot that the fund was used to "compensate SA Stormtroopers who committed street violence" is completely made up. SA Stormtroopers were simply given amnesty.

[muddle@infosec.exchange]

@BrianJopek Actually, the world of Nazi finance is really interesting.

[xerge@mastodon.nl]

@BrianJopek @mcnado that’s why they’re called neo-nazis. They’re not even being original while destroying democracy and rule of law.

[juliehuz@mastodon.world]

@hengstenberg @BrianJopek ...yeah, who am I kidding

[atlovato@mastodon.social]

@BrianJopek - History repeating it self. Disgusting.

[obscurestar@mastodon.social]

@xerge @BrianJopek @mcnado Neo makes them feel all red-pilled in the Matrix (oblivious that the Warchowski's say the red pill is about transgender stuff)
need to use words they'll understand:
Wannabe nazis. Weimar Weebu.
Important to remind them that not only are they childish uncreative copycats, most of them are too old and out of shape to have served for real nazis. They'd have been laughed at or put down by their own idols.

They're Trump's Brownsharts, nothing more.

@eribosot @BrianJopek

Per ChatGPT [citing Wikipedia]:

"In 1930 Martin Bormann established the Hilfskasse der NSDAP (Nazi Party Auxiliary Fund), a party-run benefits/relief fund that collected member premiums and made discretionary payments to party members injured or otherwise in need — including support for activists who had been imprisoned before the Nazi seizure of power."

@BrianJopek @hansbot If this doesn’t send shivers down your spine, you’re on the wrong side of history
