Wait, everything ELSE was a "performance" but a (claimed) standing ovation was the real deal...?

You can just watch the event. Edit: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm24vjvy3n1o "I was in the room when President Donald Trump entered and it's fair to say he got a good welcome from the crowd, certainly at the beginning. A standing ovation."

Because everyone knows how easy it is to play Trump, do a standing ovation and his ego is satisfied so it's easier to deal with him.

Exactly like you'd do with a toddler :)

> Because if it were actual fascism, like the Hitler/Mussolini kind, you'd be arrest/dead the moment you spoke anything against it. This is... a pretty confused view of history, really. Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, and consolidated power over the next year. At this point there was a lot of criticism of the regime, both internal and external. Things got rapidly worse after, of course, but there certainly was a pe…

>but that there was public criticism Every political party had public criticism before they could gain absolute power to silence that criticism.

Hitler had absolute power by 1934. Public dissent wasn't really entirely quashed until the war.

Democrats/leftists/ANTIFA don't hate authoritarianism, They hate that they're not the ones in charge of dealing the authoritarianism on their opposition, as shown by the masked mob gestapo they set up in Minnesota doing "papers please, you're either with us or against us" on civilians passing by to confirm they hate ICE.

If I show you camera footage on X of this happening will you accept it in good faith or nitpick it on why it's not valid?

Ah classic, so even if it's happening, it's not a bad thing because an unelected unaccountable mob is doing it, just like in third world countries.

Can't see anything about 11 bullets in the back of the head.

Support for ICE is in minority (although a large one). I don't think algorithm would suppress negative opinions on it, especially among viewership of celebrities that don't appeal to the right side of political spectrum.

Well, you're wrong. This article has more info but is login- or paywalled. https://www.theverge.com/news/867625/tiktok-down-weekend-bro...

If you show me the evidence, I will examine it. That may include examining the surrounding context if it's not blatantly obvious.

>Fuck off.

Thanks, good to see great mental clarity and debate skills.

> includes "following unlawful orders."

Except the judge decides if the order was unlawful, not you.

You don't get to decide on the spot that the order you received was unlawful and can just resist arrest if you feel like it.

You cooperate with the orders, and then your lawyer will seek justice and compensation on your behalf is the way the officer handled himself was unlawful. That's the way it works.

What fascist tactics did they use to get rid of Hitler? If you're referring to his time in prison, he was put there because he staged a putsch. Beyond that, much of the establishment and industry tried to work with him using a softly, softly approach. They thought they could steer him, temper him, leverage his popularity for their own ends. Of course, that didn't work out for them

>What fascist tactics did they use to get rid of Hitler? November 1921 (Munich): During a speech at an NSDAP rally in a beer hall, an unknown assailant fired shots at Hitler from the crowd amid a melee, but he escaped unharmed. 1923 (Thuringia): An unidentified person attempted to shoot Hitler during a rally, but Nazi supporters outnumbered opponents, forcing the attacker to flee. 1923 (Memmingen): Another unknown in…

at what point do you start to question your worldview, when you are actively complaining about the "fascist tactics" used by people who tried to kill Hitler himself?
