Now that they are in government, they don't have to care.

The Nazis at least cared for their country overall. They are worse than nazis, they have no principles whatsoever, no excuse.

Nazis did/do not, in fact, care for their country. Unless you count falling for capitalist/anticommunist propaganda and thinking killing minorities instead of organizing against capitalists will fix anything as caring.

They at least had some welfare. Now, I don't like nazis at all, but I still feel that calling conservatives ONLY nazis, does not do them justice. Nazis where the closest we got to pure evil, and conservatives are PURE evil!

I wonder how big of a change we will see in the amount of corporate rainbow washing this June.

You’ll still see them doing it because that’s pandering to people for sales. They’ve removed it from the places that they were forced to adhere to it.

Aren't they still forced? The order is only for federal entities.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

And apparently anyone wishing to do business with the federal gov

Centuries of struggle to improve human rights, painstakingly, little bit by little bit. It takes a couple of days to wipe it away. Sickening.
