Listen to everything they (MAGA for lack of a better term) say carefully. I brushed the memorial aside thinking I got the gist of it, but it is more horrifying than I ever could have imagined. The reason there is an us and a them is because of them. They are preparing to do battle with no intention of doing good.

....hearing her break it down is fascinating. is MAGA literal nazis? stephen miller is jewish, so it's hard to make that case. what is obvious, though, is that they are using every nazi tactic there is, as well as nazi rhetoric, because their audience (white nationalists, christian nationalists, new confederates, white supremacists, KKKers, etc) responds to it.

8. Comparing Goebbels' "The Storm is Coming" and Miller's Charlie Kirk Memorial Speech

It's effectively the same speech

snip
Conclusion: Structural Parallels and Historical Echoes
The structural similarities between these speeches are striking and deeply concerning. Both employ:

1. Apocalyptic crisis narratives that frame the current moment as decisive
2. Complete dehumanization of political opponents
3. Exclusive claims to civilizational legitimacy and historical inheritance
4. Martyrdom themes that transform violence into motivation
5. Messianic destiny rhetoric suggesting inevitable triumph
6. Military and warrior metaphors that frame politics as warfare

Miller's speech additionally incorporates several well-documented themes from contemporary white nationalist rhetoric, including "Great Replacement" civilizational claims, apocalyptic "final battle" framing, and accelerationist martyrdom themes.
