    We found no evidence confirming the phrase appearing on a lectern originated verbatim in Nazi Germany, as social media posts suggested.

    However, we found no evidence confirming that the phrase originated verbatim in Nazi Germany, as social media posts suggested. The origin of the phrase was unclear, but it did not appear to have been used by the Trump administration or other presidential administrations before appearing on the lectern. Online searches for the origin of the phrase returned only results for more social media posts claiming it had roots in the Nazi regime, without providing further evidence. Searches of newspaper archives also found no instances of the Trump administration or other governments using the specific phrase.

    Mindlessly spreading without fact-checking, bad look.

    Being a leftist is fun because the fascists have threatened to purge entire communities in response to violence against ICE and we’re arguing about the historicity of the quote and whether displaying a phrase on a podium is technically a quote or not.

      Its never okay to spread objectively false information. If they were directly quoting Nazis, I would be on the first plane out of here, leaving behind my family and all my property. When I first read this, my heart jumped, because I thought that’s what I now I had to do.

      But then I see that it isn’t true. Yes, this is alarming and horrible, but do you really think it wouldn’t be any more alarming if they were directly quoting Nazi slogans?

      Attacking how communication is done instead of what’s being communicated is a form of subversion the CIA uses to mess with foreign actors. The left and its tolerance towards others (e. g. misgendering by accident) is very susceptible to such attacks and they’ve let themselves be decimated on the public stage because of it.

        I want to clarify something that others aren’t. Yes, things that would be war crimes aren’t if not used in war, but this doesn’t give a reason. A lot of them are to prevent mistakes in war, not because it’s evil. For example, you aren’t allowes to use chemicals that are often used on civilians, but it isn’t because they’re particularly harmful. It’s because you don’t know what they are until latter, so if you see it you may respond with your own chemical weapons, which may be harmful. This is just one example, but a lot of the time “war crimes” are there to prevent escalation, not because of how harmful they are. (Obviously some are because of the harm though.)

          I just saw a podcast/yt vid today that had a segment on stats for how dangerous it’s been for ICE since it was established. No ICE members have ever been killed or injured by immigrants.

          Leading cause of death is covid-19 (perhaps unsurprising, considering all the antivax idiots who must overlap heavily), followed by cancer from 9/11. One guy died from accidentally shooting himself in the leg. The only case that even involved an immigrant is when an ICE guy died after chasing someone and had a heart attack.

      Of course they did, they’re all dumb

      Most Americans are seriously dumb. The illiteracy level is insane for a western developed country, especially the riches country in the world. It could ensure all its citizens are well educated but we’ll educated citizens won’t vote for fascists, they won’t listen to the transparent bullshit lies of fox news and co, they won’t vote Republican because fuuuuck that shit.

      Republicans have worked pretty much since WWII, especially starting with Reagan, to ensure the US citizens are as dumb as possible, it keeps them in power.

      So Magas dancing to killing in the name of is pretty normal for them, as they have no idea what they’re doing, no idea what the song is about, no idea what RATM is about.

      I’d feel sad for them if they weren’t so dangerous to themselves, to everyone in the US, and everyone in the world. I honestly have no idea how to solve this part, after trump and Maga is gone. How do you deprogram millions of brainwashed idiots that barely finished highschool?

    Do none of you know what this is referring to? Okay, class time. Gather round, because I’m going to give you all a quick history lesson.

    Oh, and you should check this out on the side. It will help with the learning.

    I don’t know about whether there’s a connection between that slogan and the nazis, but the incident the slogan is allegedly coined from is definitely real.

    The SS officer who was killed is Reinhard Heydrich, a SS officer who was high enough to be part of Hitler’s inner circle. Heydrich is understood to be one of the principal architects of the Holocaust.

    The village who had its male population (except for the children) wiped out as revenge for Heydrich’s death is Lidice, in the modern Czech Republic.

    By the way, you all should watch the movie Anthropoid. It goes over a dramatized version of the events.

    So many people in this post complaining that its misinformation because its not actually a quote because it wasnt spoken aloud or it doesnt actually come from the nazis. However. The Trump admin DID display this information WITH the intent to threaten the lives of all dissidents and almost certainly with the belief themselves that it comes from nazis, as they wholeheartedly stand on the side of nazis. This isnt misinformation, no matter how picky you want to be, and it is VERY relevant and important to share.

      I’m inclined to give AskHistorians a pass. There is no community on Reddit that tries as hard as they do to moderate their way around the limitations of the platform and its management.

      The verified posters tend to be millennial academics with masters or PhD’s in history or closely related fields, and they take the name of the community seriously. You are there to ask a historian a question, and if none answers, then so be it.

      And I agree, pushing past the obvious dog whistle to go somewhere the data doesn’t lead is a way to weaken what should be a self-evidently powerful argument that the Trumpers are embracing ever-more-openly fascist positions on, well, everything.

          Verified by providing well sourced and reasoned answers. There are PhD contributors but mostly it’s down to providing consistently providing context to an answer and not going off on some fringe tangent. It’s easily the most heavily moderated subreddit.

          “Why on reddit” comes up often and the answer has consistently (historically anyway) been that there isn’t really a better long-form public outreach platform at the moment. Blogs are close don’t have the same opportunity for followup questions and definitely don’t have the same “drive-by” effect of just seeing it on the front page.

      If you ever want to check, just dona search and set the range of dates to end before the current outrage.

      Before January, I couldn’t find a single use of that phrase on the internet.

      But it’s not some dog whistle, it’s blatantly obvious what they’re saying. Don’t let them get it twisted up so that the only bad things are verbatim what nazis said.

      Good message. I agree.

      However, their message is still abhorrent

      Yeah, mods should probably delete the OP post imo… Its pretty bad to allow something blatantly false to spread like this. Especially looking at the upvote ratio.
