Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, has the exact sequenced genome matching that of a fucking mallard...

Tissue, bandage, bricks, far right extremist authoritarian. Remember, if it doesn't come from the Germany region of Europe, it's just sparkling fascism.

Considering that Hitler is Trump's idol, I think Nazi is a fair moniker.

Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 343d (3 replies)

That's a fair take. I would like to point out that Hitler and other Nazis admired and took inspiration from Manifest Destiny in the creation of their Lebensraum.

Thanks for the added commentary. There should be more of this in schools.

Just because you aspire to be like your idol......

In Germany we have idiots who claim because it is called national socialism that of course Hitler was communist, because of socialism.....

Not just in Germany, I cut off a family member a decade ago for holding strong to that stance.

What was that poem?

"And first they came for the communists, Because they too must have been communists, And then they came for the socialists, Because they too must have been socialists..."

Oh wait that's not how the statement went.

People just cannot, or will not recognize the cognitive dissonance, and that's cool with them I guess.

Ah, that explains why he had all those communists and socialists killed. He must not have liked competition from other socialists.

It's dumb but that is their legal requirement to do under US trademark law. An undefended trademark is revokable.

Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 342d (3 replies)

They are not required to do so

kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 342d (2 replies)

They are if they don't want to risk losing the trademark.

You do not have to sue traders selling competitors products, holding up shippings of competitors products, sueing competitors for producing the same products and dont have to sue for people labling all of these products with your brand. Tempo doesnt, clinex doesnt, fregidairs didnt, bandade doesnt/didnt

You are listing companies that have lost their trade mark protection? To prove that you don't have to protect your trade mark?

Call them Republican because they want you to call them anything but that.

There is no good vs bad in Congress. It's Republican vs Democrat.

themeatbridge@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 343d (3 replies)

Horseshit. There's plenty of good vs bad in Congress. Not all Democrats are good, but all the Republicans are bad.

evenglow@lemmy.world · -7 pts · 343d (2 replies)

Not horseshit. Congressional public record.

Notice how you called them Republican and Democrat?

I'm not sure I understand your point.

frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 343d

Sadly, Google Translate doesn't have an option for "liberal dem-bot" language. Then we could figure out what they actually meant instead of copypasta talking points that don't actually address the argument.
