The propaganda trying to brand inhumane cruelty as fun, funny, cool, justified, excusable (I'm guessing at words because none of those words are the way I see this), is so messed up. Trying to make other people's suffering a meme, says a lot about the people doing this.

The substandard and terrible propaganda and victory lap celebration of criminality should be exploited in satire to underscore and drive home how horrible this ideology is, one that is distinct and different from Nazism, but nonetheless disgusting.

"this ideology is, one that is distinct and different from Nazism" a couple of things about that first is that they are sometimes useing nazi phrases and slogans, second , many of the actual foot soldiers are in fact full tilt nazis ™, with some foriegn "guests" of the US government bieng openly tatooed, card carying nazis, and the distinction is definitly less every day with many side projects to rehabilitate nazi type nationalism EVERYWHERE.right

™ or some off brand of murderous ,racist, supremisist with different fashion choices

It's splitting bikeshed hairs if it's a true Scot or not, it's bad.

The problem is that fascistic ideological camps, once latched onto power, have a historical tendency to cause world wars and require much blood and treasure to remove.

I wouldn't be surprised if the government started revoking their copyrights for that.

> But they can't do-

You can just do things as long as no one physically stops you. I think that's been the theme of 2025.

When the only real law is "might is right" we have a fundamental issue with upholding any sort of justice.

A regular person's account would've been terminated for something like this long time ago.

Maybe this will expose the ridiculousness of overbearing copyright enforcement and duration to the government itself, and things might change about it.

If I were an artist I'd be pretty angry at a government using my music without asking let alone paying.

You wouldn't download a car ...

It really speaks to the pervasive lawlessness of the current administration.
