It’s totally cool how the official White House twitter is pushing white nationalist talking points.
“The Danger of the Stronger Multiplication of the Inferior Ones
Average: 2 children – Average 4 children
At the beginning: 1 couple with 2 children – 1 couple with 4 children After 30 years: 1 couple with 2 children – 2 couples with 8 children After 60 years: 1 couple with 2 children – 4 couples with 16 children
The inferiors doubling with every generation.
Without taking into account death, celibacy, childlessness, and so forth.”
The translation of this Nazi Propaganda is disheartening and disgusting. The comparison to what the tweet says, in my opinion, is too similar to be coincidental…
Concept: Donald Trump Twitter parody account that sounds like an actual president’s twitter account with normal tweets that a normal president would make.
As pointed to me by @polkadottedeyes, this is already a thing and it’s bizarre and uncanny as fuck.
President Donald Trump spent part of his Wednesday morningretweeting three videos about alleged Islamist violence. One claimed to show a Muslim man destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary; another professed to have captured a “Muslim migrant” beating up a “Dutch boy on crutches,” and a third seemed to show Muslim men pushing a boy off a building.
There were two problems. First, at least one of the videos was fake; reports quickly emerged showing that the perpetrator in the video about the Dutch boy is apparently neither Muslim nor a migrant. The video of teens being pushed from a rooftop is apparently three and a half years old and took place in Egypt, during a spasm of violence following the ouster of then-Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. At least one of the perpetrators was executed for the crime. The third video’s source remains unverified.
The much more disturbing issue is that the videos had all been originally posted by Jayda Fransen, a leader of a far-right British political party called Britain First.
She was arrested last month for appearing on neo-Nazi radio show while facing trial for causing religiously aggravated harassment. The radio show is called Radio Aryan whose tagline is “Save the Fatherland,” and the day she appeared on the station was doing a retelling of Mein Kampf. So yeah that’s the kind of person Trump is listening to & spreading info from.
For bonus context, the actual quote they’re citing for this protest comes from Edgar Mitchell (1930-2016), who flew in Apollo 14 and was the sixth person to walk on the Moon.
The full quotation, referring to the experience of observing Earth from the Moon surface, is thus:
You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—”I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.“
But fuck the First Amendment, right? Sure, let’s get the FCC to revoke a national broadcast network’s license. The Second Amendment is the only one that really matters, right??
