    I got banned for saying “Luigi did nothing wrong” but I also stand by the fact that Luigi will do no wrong. There’s a little Luigi at all of us.

    Welcome to Lemmy mate! I left Reddit after the purge of 3rd party apps. It’s been great. The more people here. The more content.

    I highly recommend that when you view All, you filter to"Hot" posts. It updates with everything that’s recently been added.

    Referring to people as vermin is strongly associated with Nazis and their ilk. This looks exactly like the dehumanizing propaganda produced by fascists.

      In OP’s defence, the depicted people would totally see themselves as exterminators of “vermin”. Drain the swamp and all this crap.

        Source required. Pics or it didn’t happen.

        OP just wants a witch hunt - he wants to murder people he doesn’t like and feel good about it. Sick fuck, the worst kind.

          VERMIN

          Trump pledged at a November rally in New Hampshire that he would “root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.”

          Those comments drew rebukes from congressional Democrats and some moderate Republicans. Some historians have traced the use of the word “vermin” to Hitler and Italy’s Benito Mussolini.

          Political historians say the use of dehumanizing rhetoric - including words like “vermin” - makes it easier to strip away rights from residents and citizens as they are seen as less worthy of democratic or constitutional protections. Nazis, for instance, frequently referred to Jews as lice, rats and vermin.

          The Trump campaign has dismissed those comparisons.
