    I thought the playbook said it should be called “Ministry of Love”

      “Ministry of Defense” is already doublespeak though

      I thought that was the ‘internal affairs’ ministry, perhaps the Ministry of Peace?

      Someone should open a betting pool of how long before he dies from natural causes.

      that should send a message of how “popular” he is.

    At least he’s showing what America has always been. A power hungry warmongering country.

    I’m so glad President Trump is focused on the important issues, like renaming bodies of water, mountains, schools, and federal institutions. I didn’t need lower grocery prices anyway.

        We’re regressing, it should be named the Department of Conflict-as-a-service.

      It was the Department of War when we fought the Nazis and Imperial Germany, who had a lot more goals in common with Nazis than people realize.

      This is a nothingburger and people are embarrassing themselves getting distracted from the Epstein files and all the actual fascism.

        The german empire had barely anything in common with the nazis. Conquest/imperialism maybe. Authoritarianism and militarism yes. But the core of nazi idiologie, anti semitism and racism and arrian belief olus this occultism, nope

          They did have genocide, racism, and antisemitism though.

          Authoritarian is a meaningless term.

            There is a difference between the society having it and being encouraged by the government and it actively comitting genocide to persue a ethno state

              Is there though? If a society is trying to murder every one of a particular race because it thinks its necessary and justified for superior races to dominate lesser races, I’m not sure minute differences in underlying philosophy are all that important, if existant.
