My point is that Africans don't see what Hitler did as unique or different than what King Leopold did.

No arguments on how Irish and Polish people were treated and colonized. No arguments on things like the Holodomor. I'm speaking specifically about the way that Hitler talked about Ukraine, and the parallels that he drew to the US "amber fields of grain" and the kinship he talked about with England.

True. But people also died for your right *not* to vote. 🙂🙃 If US democracy only works if almost all Black voters have to vote for a Democratic candidate that undermines and opposes their own liberation? Then Black people don't really have access to Democracy, and US democracy is a sham.

I have read their plans to eliminate all Jewish people from earth. No, the plan makes no sense. But yes, they are very serious. Yes, they are a few steps into this part of the plan already. No, I am not linking to the plan here. Yes, I will block you if you link to it here.

The new nazis were kind enough to write all of their plans down, and you can read them if you're willing to read things that cannot be unread. They hate Black people. They *hate and fear* Indian people. But I have not read any real plans to eliminate all Black or Indian people from planet earth.

One part about this that should genuinely concern people, is that some of the modern American nazis genuinely, honestly, want to eliminate every single Jewish person from planet earth. Every. Single. One. This isn't about needing living space, or manifest destiny, or white supremacy.

Hitler's position was basically, "Okay. You Americans did it over there, and you English did it, well, everywhere! Now it's my turn! I'm going to do it in Europe!" And the US and UK position was, "But Europeans are white though? That makes it evil!🤡"

The most successful ethnic cleansing and genocide campaign in world history, is the United States takeover of North America. There were almost 100 million Native Americans living here. Now you can go to a place named something like Ohio, or Malibu, or Miami, and not see a single native American.🤷🏿‍♂️

Hitler based the Nuremberg laws on Jim Crow and Native American exclusion laws. Concentration camps are reservations. 🇺🇸"There is free land in California! We just have to settle the west, and ethnically cleanse the non-white people!🤡" 🇩🇪"There is free land in Ukraine! We just have to cleanse it!🤡"

And yes, the queen of England and her dad did nazi salutes. And yes, Hitler invaded Poland and Ukraine, because by his own words, he wanted to do exactly what other Europeans had done in California, India, and South Africa. His "manifest destiny" treated non-Aryan white people, like Black people.

You can only say that Hitler was *uniquely* evil, if you see white people as fundamentally more valuable than non-white people.🤷🏿‍♂️ Because by his own definition, Hitler's great crime, is that he tried to colonize white European people, the way that white European people colonized Black and brown.

This is a central nazi belief on a level that most Americans cannot comprehend. Because Adolf Hitler genuinely expected England to stay out of WW2. Because he saw kinship with England. Because members of the British royal family were full-blown nazis. Hitler was just copying England, bar 4 bar.

A country with a higher percentage of EV semi trucks, is less susceptible to diesel price shocks. One in every three semi trucks sold in China is an EV or alternative energy vehicle. In the USA, it's one in every 200. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Periodic reminder that rich kids go to Berkeley to take classes in CompSci, while poor kids take them at DeAnza community college. But through a scam called "Adjunct professors are criminally underpaid! So 580 to the 80 to the 101 for my second job I guess?" they are sometimes the same classes.🤡

They do heart transplants in the Philippines as well, so I'm not quite sure what the other $547,000 is buying us? 🤷🏿‍♂️ If trade school to become an electrician or plumber carried half a million dollars of debt, I'm not sure that people would still recommend it as much.

This. And a lot of the "Is college even worth it?" conversations would have a very different answer if a college education was reasonably priced. Becoming a heart surgeon in the USA can cost you $550,000+ in US private school tuition🤯, but under $3,000 in public universities in the Philippines.🤷🏿‍♂️

It doesn't matter if you're *trying* to be argumentative or not. We are arguing. Because we disagree. That's not necessarily a bad thing! It's OK to disagree. Seriously! Specifically, we're disagreeing on how silly it is to try to measure US hate crimes in the by US police reports.

I do know what you have and haven't seen. Because if you had been to Rikers, or had seen Black friends killed by cops, or had even seen how cops treated me when I was pulled over, it would immediately disabuse you of the ideas you have in this thread. You'd be embarrassed to type them.

Mekka Okereke @mekka.mekka-tech.com · 12h
Yes, I 100% am making that comparison. Given that Hitler himself claimed to have based the Nuremberg laws on US Jim Crow laws and US racism. And given that the arrest rate for Black men in NYC in 2026 is higher than the arrest rate of Black men under Jim Crow in the South.

Mekka Okereke @mekka.mekka-tech.com · 17h
You don't understand the point I'm making, because you've never been to Rikers to get innocent Black people out before. You've never had an innocent friend shot in the face by cops. You've never really thought about what the phrases, "When they see us" or "Black Lives Matter" really mean.

Your point makes no sense. It is a misleading statistic. Imagine if instead of the NYPD, crime in NYC was "controlled🤡" by literal nazi SS officers. Then some genius pretended that Jewish people don't experience that much hate crime, because Jewish people don't report hate crimes to SS officers.

They don’t consider TSA screeners their foot soldiers.They have tried twice to strip them of collective bargaining rights and there was a push earlier this year to try and replace the federal employees that screen passengers and bags by privatizing the workforce.

Making people stand for extended periods is a popular torture technique among oppressive regimes, because it leaves no marks, and because it doesn't sound that bad? People that stand for 2 hours, imagine that standing for 4 hours is just twice as bad, and for 8 hours is twice as bad at that. No.

Fair. If we counted crimes committed just because the victim was a woman as a hate crime? The numbers would not be close.

Being called an antisemitic slur while an angry cop points a gun at you, is not part of the experience that every Jewish dad sits their Jewish son down and prepares them for. So no, I have never reported any racist slur I've had yelled at me, to the cops, some of whom have done that with guns drawn

Mekka Okereke @mekka.mekka-tech.com · 02/10/2026
Multiple times in my life, the man pointing a gun at me and yelling the n-word, *was* a police officer.🤷🏿‍♂️ And my experience is not unique. There are millions of Black men in this country with the same experience. There are not millions of Jewish people that have had this experience.

Mekka Okereke @mekka.mekka-tech.com · 02/10/2026
None of that negates my point. You could quadruple the increase in *religious based* hate crimes, and it would not come close to the number of hate crimes in general experienced by Black people. Let me put it in stark perspective for you. Hate crimes are reported *to* police. But...

You can't endorse nazi policies without consequence. The consequence, is that everybody hates you. Even your own children. Polarization is the price that you pay for either being a nazi, or being too weak to stop being friends with them. You don't get to be friends with nazis and normal people.

If you want to "depolarize?" Stop hanging out with nazis and ethnic cleansers. Take some steps towards normalcy. He claims he didn't support Trump in 2016 and 2020, but did support him in 2024.🤡 He got tired and gave up fighting? So he wants us to give up too? No. We have *centuries* of endurance

No. I will never, ever de-polarize from nazis and ethnic cleansers. No one that endorsed Trump's 2024 election campaign, where he promised to be a dictator from day 1, and promised ethnic cleansing and mass deportation, has any credibility on depolarization. He's just trying to sell his book.

These women are not harmless. They are extremely dangerous. American fascism is ruining everything, and these women and their wrong ideas are half of its source of power. Most Americans can't accept the scale of the harm of these women's fascism support. They recast them as victims only.

As you look at the destroyed economy, increasing wars around the globe, decreased public health, and mass deportation, remember that about half of all of the votes that Trump received, were cast by women. Half. It is not true that Trump gets more support from men than women.

"stay at home mom" does not mean tradwife. "Person who cooks or does domestic chores" does not mean tradwife. It's a very specific set of fascist adjacent anti-feminist ideals that complement the fantasy of men's place in MAGA. It is toxic, harms women, and enables abuse of women and others.

She suffers. Because she hurt herself. 🤷🏿‍♂️ She spent years misleading other women into nonsense beliefs about what traditional means. She lived in a fantasy cartoon of fashy subservience. She's a slow learner. Now she's figuring out what millions of other women that she fought against, already knew.

I like Deion. But he's rich, and I'm rich. His son made a point of flexing a $300K watch at other teams during games. That wasn't from NIL money. That was family money from his dad's career and businesses. He's already got his. And he's a coach that wants an easier job recruiting.

Yes, the bill sucks. It "saves🤡" college sports, from the fact that Black kids got to experience a few years of better labor rights. The senators for together to cap the kids' ability to earn, without granting them collective bargaining rights. No other pro sports league has this exploitive setup.

Because immigrants are not safe calling ICE, they don't do it. So you could not use ICE as the reporting agency to understand the amount of hate crimes that an immigrant community receives. Most understand this. But many don't understand why Black people don't report racist incidents to cops.🤷🏿‍♂️

Mekka Okereke @mekka.mekka-tech.com · 29/09/2026
There are about the same number of Black people in the US as there are immigrants (~50MM). But an innocent Black person is ~100 times more likely to be killed by a cop than an immigrant is to be killed by ICE. It's obvious why immigrants wouldn't call ICE to report mistreatment. That would be silly
