And I’m talking about all fascists directly involved in the current coup, from Musky-boy and the DOJ appointee Ed Martin all the way down to the individual DOGE staffers.

At some point, America is going to have it’s own version of the Nuremberg trials, and there needs to be some sort of shadow archival records system that can reliably emerge out the far end with sufficient evidence to make these monsters hang.

      But the problem is that if there is to be any real legitimacy for the defenders of democracy, there must be a lot of care taken.

      I have read many accounts and descriptions of the Nuremberg trials, and while it would be on much shakier legal ground in a modern court of law, they did an exemplary and even unprecedented job with the tools and processes available to them in 1945.

      And documentation - obsessively excessive documentation and evidence - was at the heart of the success behind those trials. As it will be for America in the future.

      Why?

      I’m not an anarchist and I want to see those dudes tried and hanged after the American Reich collapses too.

        You’re already in an anarchist comm. It’s just that this comm is for flippant or humorous stuff and the comm I linked to is for serious stuff.

        This is also an anarchist community, but one specifically memes. So it would be better placed in the non-meme anarchist community. Also like others said, anarchists are a lot less likely to take it down

        Because most anarchists will let you speak your mind within reason.

        But without naming names, it’s the South African tech billionaires and their ideological inspirations.

          Fascists have zero regards for the law, fairness and impartiality, they wouldn’t bother trying us or give us a right to ample defence. If that’s the case, why would we give them what they deny us? It’s called reciprocity.

          Sure they would cry and demand thise things and accuse of of being “awfull, awfull people” (just to quote the Orangutan in Chief), not realising how hypocritical and manipulative this is.

          Burn them all, I say. Give them no quarters and, when the time comes, take no prisioners.

            Yeah, OP wanted a trial and to then hang them. Personally I’m indifferent to the trial as well. =)

    I posted their names around yesterday, but mods removed all of them. The fediverse is just as compromised as any legacy web hangouts. Freedom of speech is an illusion.

    The current government and the previous one both suck, but what coup they won by vote. This is how the government works. It sucks but this is what it is.

      This is a coup to make the rule of law and the constitution irrelevant. Fascist systems have always worked via this playbook - they do everything just within the law… until the law no longer matters, and then they do whatever the hell they want.

      As someone said elsewhere (on HN, to be exact):

      People seem to think that:

      1. Auto-coups don’t exist
      2. Coups require tanks on the street
      3. Once a coup is started it will succeed.

      This is a an auto-coup, where the president is trying to seize power that is not granted by elections, and trying to make the legal system irrelevant. All in the name of urgency and saving the country (we call them “salva patrias” in Spain for a reason). No one can vote for this. Voting a president does not make the president all powerful.

      Also, this coup does not need to succeed. We saw this recently in South Korea. This will only succeed if people don’t oppose it. Don’t believe them when they make you feel like you already lost. Finally, the game has changed for the supporters of democracy. This is no longer about writing stern worded letters, if you catch my drift.

        Can you provide any proof? You use a lot of words but don’t say how. Trump was elected by the people. Him being a horrible person doesn’t make his legal actions fascist no matter how bad they are…

        What is HN?

        You were born in a fascist country then what is making this fascism?…
