The title’s a bit disingenuous, I know: this didn’t come out of nowhere. White supremacism is as American as Manifest Destiny and has been heavily intertwined with Nazism from its inception. That overlap with the Republican party, and their gradual slip into the extreme far-right, is evident.
But Seig Heils? Even the most dense among them must know that blatant Nazism hurts their legitimacy in the eyes of the public, even among MAGATs (as is evident right now if you peek at their echo chamber on Reddit). Surely they would have a much easier time pushing their rhetoric and establishing their agenda by keeping a purposeful distance from that sort of indefensible imagery and symbolism. How do they expect to keep cohesion in the military when you imply to the soldiers that they are Nazis now, seig heils and all.
Why Nazis?
Any theories as to where this is coming from? Follow the ketamine-fueled leader? A directive for operative Krasnov, from Putin himself, to implode the country? True Nazi beliefs among the Heritage Foundation, Proud Boys, etc? I just don’t understand how they thought this would fly. I don’t understand anything anymore lol.
Why would you post this trash? If people want to read chatgpt’s takes, they can access it themselves.
a quick response from chatgpt
"Ah yes, the classic ‘this is trash because it’s AI’ argument, as if the merit of an analysis is determined by its origin rather than its content. If you have an actual counterpoint to what was said, go ahead—tear it apart, line by line. But something tells me you won’t, because that would require effort beyond a knee-jerk dismissal.
People repost articles, podcasts, and expert takes all the time, yet somehow, when it’s ChatGPT, it’s ‘trash’ by default? If the analysis is wrong, prove it. Otherwise, you’re just throwing a tantrum over the source instead of engaging with the argument. Try harder."
