Reminds me of history, when nazi germany and imperial japan would perform "reprisals", basically, they would arbitrally round up random non-combatants, most of them who aren't even resistance, and shoot them to death in "execution" style in public, as a way to "punish" resistance activities.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I notice they didn't shit their pants epiplectic over Hakeem Jeffries winning anything. Guess we know who we gotta throw our weight behind.
Fascism.
Arm yourselves.
These idiots are going to go over every aspect of his personal life until they find something that they can potentially throw at him in court, then try to arrest him and tie him up in the judicial system like they’re doing to Kilmar.
Hopefully he’s never worn a tan suit
Eugene Debs Two, Electric Boogaloo?
Meanwhile, The News is giving us exhaustive coverage of a billionaire wedding, because some people are just better than we are.
There's always been a significant portion of American society that would have much preferred if the US would have intervened in WW2 on behalf of the Nazi instead of the allies. Imo that subsect of our population has never really changed in their belief, they just moderated their language to make their beliefs more digestible.
The amazing thing to me is that Communism has consistently been a dog whistle for these people for generations, being a substitute for a plethora of slurs aimed at a plethora of different people.
They are now attempting to utilize the same defunct laws that their grandparents made to strip away what little power we the people still have. Strange that there are laws against communist political parties but not against fascism.....the actual people we engaged in a totalitarian war against.
A country founded on genocide and explicit principle of setting up free market, is against even slight implementation of common sense policy of affordable education and healthcare.
Colour me shocked.
Never forget that in 1939 the second biggest Nazi party in the world was in America. Massive rally at Madison Square Garden, etc.
The official line was that John Wayne didn't get sent to Europe to fight because he was more valuable to the war effort boosting morale in the home front. The secret reason was that they weren't quite sure which direction he'd be shooting.
I heard once that the main reason why the US helped the Allies instead of the Axis was that they stood to make bank on the restoration of Europe if the Allies did win.
