Seems more like Confederate values.

Lincoln was a white supremacist too.

The American values are the reason why I gave up my citizenship 25 years ago.

I would be if I believed the American societal project was promising and worth saving, and I fled the country because I preferred my and my family's own comfort and safety over putting in the effort to do my part and turn the country around.

But there's nothing good in America. There's nothing worth saving. It's a nation of imbeciles, racists and crass transactional individualists. The culture it spreads around the world is nauseating.

Not everybody in America is like that individually of course, but there's enough of them that the nation as a whole is like that. I want no part of it, and I feel no duty towards it.

Well, the Nazis did learn a lot from America after all. They even thought Americans went too far in their racism and bigotry in some cases. Ya know, inbetween all the believing that the Aryan race descended from the moon and shit.

If you like video games like I do, Monty Zander did 3 video essays on Wolfenstein recently. The 2nd one on New Colossus, specifically on how much America and the Nazis have in common and how easily fascism slots into America. Not so different, eh? Aryans from the moon? Billionaires fleeing to Mars?

Yup, and we gave them homes and positions within government! I'm sure that wouldn't have any negative repercussions. And I'm sure we punished the Confederacy enough too.

Well thank you for telling us what your values are. Makes so many things so much easier to do.

Yeah, pre-Columbian American values, like Aztec human sacrifice.

More like Columbian values, Spanish and Colonizers in general were extremely cruel and inhumane to their 'lessers' aka anyone not 100% European*.

  • Only good pedigree European nations, not those mongrels in ireland or poland, or romani, or Jews, or etc etc etc.

The last public execution was the lynching of a black man, accused of having sex with a white woman.

Yes, that's what he means by restoring our values. Racism.

I swear to god they're only doing this cause the guy has a Hasan in his name. If this dudes name was Osama bin Hussein, he'd get killed in private like a fucking gentleman.

I think they are doing it because they are losing in Iran, everyone hates people like donnie and Hegseth, prices for everything is insane, and they need to keep people away from talking about things like the Epstein files if all the other misery and distractions are not enough.

I mean yeah, but literally every action they take has the shadow of those things. But this guy just happens to share a name with the current conservative tv boogeyman dujoir. Sharing a name with the big-dicked man of their nightmares is getting this death floated as a public event. It's great optics for a specific audience of 1.

The Iranian mullahs also love public executions. So do the Taliban.
