Here’s the whole video. It’s called “Don’t Be A Sucker” and it’s 17 minutes long.

don’t just scroll past this actually watch it, it’s only 2 minutes long. If you re-recorded this today word for word with modern actors and places, it wouldn’t even look out of place as a PSA

300,000 notes and i can’t find a transcript

Transcript: (sorry for the language!)

Speaker: “I see negroes holding jobs that belong to me! And you! I’ll ask you, if we allow this thing to go on, what’s gonna become of us real Americans!”

Hungarian man with clear foreign accent: “I’ve heard this kind of talk before, but I never expected to hear it in America.”

Young man: “This man seems to know what he’s talking about.“

Speaker: “What are us real Americans gonna do about it? You’ll find it right here in this little pamphlet—the truth about negroes and foreigners! The truth about the Catholic Church! You’ll find…” [audio grows quieter as camera shifts to the onlookers]

Hungarian man: “You believe in that kind of talk?“

Young man: “I dunno, it makes pretty good sense to me.“

Speaker: “And I tell you, friends, we’ll never be able to call this country our own until it’s a country without… without what?“

Other man: “Yeah? Without what?“

Speaker: “Without negroes, without alien foreigners,”—the young man is nodding, following along—“without Catholics, without Freemasons! You know these…“

Young man: “What’s wrong with the Masons, I’m a Mason.” Looks to European man worriedly, “hey, that fellow’s talking about me!“

Huungarian man: “And that makes a difference, doesn’t it.“

Speaker: “These are your enemies! These are the people who are trying to take over our country! Now you know them, you know what they stand for. And it’s up to you and me to fight them!” A bunch of the onlookers in the vicinity wave him off like he’s crazy and turn away, “fight them and destroy them before they destroy us!”

Speaker: “Thank you.“

One man in the now somewhat awkward crowd: “claps“

Young man: *is visibly uncomfortable*

Hungarian man: “Before he said Mason, you were ready to agree with him.”

Young man: “Well yes but, he was talking about… what about those other people?“ *the pair sit down on a park bench*

Hungarian man: “In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, of course.“

Young man: “What about you? You aren’t American, are you?“

Hungarian man: “I was born in Hungary. But now, I am an American citizen. And I have seen what this kind of talk can do. I saw it in Berlin.”

Young man: “What were you doing there?“

Hungarian man: “I was a professor at the university. I heard the same words we have heard today. But I was a fool, then. I thought Nazis were crazy people, stupid fanatics. But unfortunately it was not so. You see, they knew that they were not strong enough to conquer a unified country, so they split Germany into small groups. They used prejudice as a practical weapon to cripple the nation.”

A film created for folks in case Martin Niemöller was too subtle.

“They used prejudice as a practical weapon to split the people.”

In this country, we have no ‘other people’.

90% of Denmark’s Jews survived the Holocaust, because starting at the top, Denmark’s government and prominent citizens and all the way down emphasized this.

And all this was openly supported by King Christian. He did not, contrary to popular myth, ride his horse through Copenhagen wearing the Star of David, but he did make it clear, as he wrote in his diary, that he considered “our own Jews to be Danish citizens, and the Germans could not touch them”.

Denmark had, in essence, inoculated itself against Nazi propaganda because its citizens believed that Jews were not “other people.” As Bo Lidegard writes in Countrymen:

The Danish exception shows that the mobilisation of civil society’s humanism and protective engagement is not only a theoretical possibility: It can be done. We know because it happened.

Being a Jewish Dane or a Danish Jew might have made you a little different, but it didn’t make you other people.

Unlike Niemoller, they didn’t have to see atrocities visited on a series of Other People and only start caring when it happened to themselves. They understood it as happening to themselves from the start. Because their Jewish neighbors weren’t Other People.

As Denmark’s Jewish population sprang into panicked action, so did its Gentiles. Hundreds of people spontaneously began to tell Jews about the upcoming action and help them go into hiding. It was, in the words of historian Leni Yahil, “a living wall raised by the Danish people in the course of one night.”

Many of them didn’t even see it as “resistance work” on behalf of the Jews because it was simply fighting back against an attack on their own community.

Though there was anti-Semitism in Denmark before and after the Holocaust, the Nazis’ war on Jews was largely viewed as a war against Denmark itself. After the war, most Danes refused to take credit for their resistance work, which many had conducted under false names. Ordinary people who never considered themselves part of the Danish Resistance passed along messages, gathered food, gave hiding places or guarded the possessions of those who left until they returned home from the war.

Communities in which there are no Other People save lives.

The title says it all, doesn’t it. Americans are suckers — suckers who fell for an old trick, twice in a row.

Are you an American? Do you love our nation’s national parks, our libraries, affordable health care, and essential checks and balances? DO YOU NOT WANT TO GO TO WAR WITH CANADA?

Fuck, are you just a European and you’re highly emotionally invested in what’s going on?

Well good news, help spread the news. Special elections April 1st and this is going to help break down the narrow majority Republicans hold on Congress.

Florida has two congressional seats up for election April 1st, and Wisconsin has a highly televised race for their supreme court Court that Elon Musk has invested millions into.

If you’re Floridian, check to see if you’re eligible to vote in either of the elections listed here.

If you’re a Wisconsinite, for some ungodly reasons about half of your election information is buried in Google and hidden amongst government websites but, find your polling place now.

…I would love some context for this, and maybe a source.

Did a bit of Googling. It’s a yuri manga called Hero-san and Former General-san.

The usual translation seems to be “trance” rather than “trans”, but I assume it’s short for “transform” because they’re tokusatsu characters.

right, they switched to “trans up” in chapter 9

For further context in case any one is interested in trying this manga out, this is basically the conceit of The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies but a yuri romance. It’s the love story between a kamen rider-like heroine and a kaijin former villainess.

Unlike another series, Love After World Domination, this manga goes all in by basically having the hero Rapid Rabbit and Kaijin Honey Trap look like they could be actual suits in a tokusatsu production

Also, the kaijin girl is absolutely adorable and easy to fluster, this legit makes me want this manga to have a live action adaptation that’s like a proper toku show or even a half in half. Like it’s enjoyable

The evolution of (trans) man.

(Well, this one, anyway.)

• Age 9: “Tomboy”
• Age 15: Strictly enforced femininity
• Age 30: Hitting the mental limits of being closeted all his life and about to crash HARD
• Age 47: Fifteen years now since starting transition. Far more good days than bad, no regrets.

The world may be full of uncertainty and danger, but I resolve to continue to find joy in who I am. Be joyful to be kind to yourself and be joyful to spite the bastards who would tear us apart.

so-i-did-this-thing:

I can’t wait ‘til I turn 55 (peak hotness for a man, imo) in 8 years because it will be extra hilarious to get scare-mongering about me having a heart attack before I am 50 due to being trans.

Hi! I found you from your tdov post, and your transition is just amazing. I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but do you have any advice for someone scared of transitioning? Scared of the change... In all aspects. I've wanted to take T for so long (10+ years) and now I finally have the chance, but for some reason I'm scared now. Thank you so much in advance!

so-i-did-this-thing:

It is OK to be scared at the thought of transition, even if you’re sure you want to go through it.

You may find it helpful to journal some thoughts – are you afraid of the negative physical side effects (and what is “negative” to you, anyway)? Could transition make you feel disconnected from your body? Like you are losing something? Are there physical aspects of masculinity that make you feel uncomfortable? Are you worried about impact on your mood/libido/how you process emotions?

A lot of testosterone effects revert back after usage stops. Some effects are permanent. Learn what your likely changes are, and what steps you could take to revert them, should this not be the path you wish to take. Trans femmes and ally detransitioners are people to look to here.

Are you more afraid of what would happen in your work and personal life? Are there deal breakers? What’s the worst that could happen?

But as you do all of this, also ask yourself, “what is the best that could happen?” What are the big and small joys transition can bring?

A friend of mine once literally made an HRT pros/cons spreadsheet, it was a thing of beauty.

Only you can decide if HRT is right for you. But if you start, you can also decide to stop and it isn’t the end of the world if you do – it just means you explored a part of yourself pretty well and came to a conclusion HRT wasn’t a good fit at this time in your life. Could be a good fit later. Might never be a good fit.

I evaluate my own transition constantly: For example, I have a wonky post-surgery chest – is that stopping me from being shirtless around my partner, who loves me for who I am? (“Yes,” I found out. And I am trying to be more casually shirtless so that doesn’t get in the way when we want to be intimate. I am just not used to that physical sense of vulnerability + having my transition imperfections so visible.) But am I happier overall, despite some challenges? HELL YES, I AM.

We never stop growing as people, and you should think of transition as not having a set path – you can engage with it and redefine it whenever you want.
