and why the fuck would that be the slogan of the Dept. of Labor?

floofloof@lemmy.ca · 72 pts · 231d

Because all of the US Government is now run by Nazis.

ceenote@lemmy.world · 43 pts · 231d

Can you Nazi the reason?

Their second choice was "arbeit macht frei".

When I saw that headline, I honestly thought it would be a variation on this.

inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 231d (1 reply)

Because Republicans run it.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 231d

No Republicans any more. That was just the larval stage before the morphed into their final form - MAGA. All conservatives are MAGA. ALL.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 231d

Because he didn't think of "Work will make you free"

We already have a great slogan. E pluribus unum. The idea that people from different places, backgrounds, and walks of life all come together for one cause, the betterment of all, that's something to rally behind. The US hasn't ever stood for that, but it's something to strive for at least. What they're offering has been rejected by the world time and time again and will continue to be. What they're peddling is shameful and I'm disgusted that anyone is falling for this.

I swear half of all government actions now are just bait to goad people into violence so they can justify a massive crackdown.

SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 14 pts · 231d

More than half.

I just can't understand how people aren't seeing they get the same results no matter what.

Slow, with lots of manufactured consent.

Or fast, with lots of outrage over the use of martial law and the insurrection act.

Somebody should do a Peter Parker meme where he puts on his glasses and it says “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer,”

Not all whites are from the same homeland... His fucking wife doesn't share the same heritage as him! This fucking guy...

Lasherz12@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 231d

Probably why he'd rather be fucking his daughter than his wife.

Hell a lot of American whites are a blend of European ancestries. Hell, mine blended before coming here

One Homeland. One People. One Heritage.

So I guess we're not a melting pot anymore?

JoMiran@lemmy.ml · 23 pts · 231d

We are in reality. We are not in the white Christian fantasies of the MAGA crowd.

There's too many anti-Constitution turds in the stew now, it's a melting potty.

Triumph@fedia.io · 2 pts · 231d

It's gotten so hot that the pot has melted.

Uneducated, racist, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, white supremacist, gun-toting religious fundamentalist nutjobs are not my people.

Remember who you are, human slave!

The department shared on X, formerly Twitter, an 11-second montage of American artwork captioned: “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage.”

The language immediately drew damning comparisons to the Nazi Germany slogan “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer,” which translates to “One People, One Realm, One Leader,”

Tujio@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 231d (1 reply)

Why stop there? "Homeland" translates to "geheimat staat", which is the Ge Sta part of Gestapo.

Edit- whoops. My German is a bit scheisse. See comment below.

too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 231d

It's geheime and it means secret.

Homeland is Heimat.

mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 231d

weird. a user on here was just telling me a few hours ago that my use of the term "literal nazis" was wrong because those words have meanings, and those meanings can't be used to describe this administration

so, uh, that was a lie

Oh I remember mother fuckers. I remember how you murdered us in the streets and said we deserved it.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 231d

They love sneaking in these cute little Easter Eggs. They think we're too dumb to notice them.

Lasherz12@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 231d

Does the same Nazi have access to all their accounts or are Nazis really that one-note?

No_Money_Just_Change@feddit.org · 1 pts · 231d

I think I understand the sentiment but did the native Americans ever see themselves as one people?
