Hitler was, and what he envisioned was beneficial for the German people after so long of being stepped on and punished for a war that they didn't even start.

[@gainthailand]

@@ethanjones3180 To be honest, in my country Hitler wasn't that evil in their eyes, well most of old people and veterans from Vietnam War and Korea War told me about communism was more as a threatening force, demonized in history book at school. This I qoute is sarcastically meant for situations in my country right now. Having long history of being under dictatorship regimes, most people still don't see the threat and they obey willingly to the dictators They saw as to "Ensure security and continuing stability of country." After nearly five years of dictatorship, we finally got the "election" but somehow the same dictator's party is the victors. Many people still cheering for them. They persecute for those who disagree with their authority in the unimaginable ways and they never put it on the news. During post-ww2 anyone who disagreed their regimes will be marked as "communist extremist" and will be put to death by law. The Coronation of our new King and Queen has just ended last week.

Honestly, "The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!" is honestly my favorite line in this song. Just the fact that it implies that every single person who died for the revolution will not be in vain and that their death had meaning to their cause. Even if they die and will not see the life and freedom they envisioned, the revolution, and by extension France, the country they love and fight for, and for the people they fight alongside with, will one day bloom and thrive from the soil their blood had nourished.

[@RichardGadsden]

That line, of course, echoes the Marseillaise's "Qu’un sang impur abreuve nos sillons" - "May their impure blood water our fields". "Impure blood" means the blood of the commoners, as opposed to the "pure blood" of the aristocrats. Note that Feuilly's verse in the French-language original does not have this reference (the original French lyrics are that he wants to be the first to die, "Le premier nom gravé au marbre du monument d'espoir" - the first name engraved on the marble monument of hope.

Looting IS protesting, Looting IS Redistribution.

@Soft Girlyeah i did and ur simply avoid the facts u idiot, u realize ACAB is an expression not a group right? just like antifa isnt an organized group its simply a movement, again im not condoning looting small business but the majority of the looting is targeted at large corporations who deserve it, it seems you care more about looting and the loss of material wealth rather then the genocide of black people that has been led by the police in this country, ur trying to be a fear monger while avoiding the actual cause of that crime, your shifting the blame to some perceived bs libertarian free will where we just judge people for the things they do even if the things they do are a natural response to conditions they've been subjected to.
