I’m not saying this image is generated, but it is at least a little bit weird that a reverse image search only shows this specific comparison. I even tried Google Images for a “Visual Match” instead of just Tineye, and nothing.
That, and Hitler’s eyes look weird, and the folded Nazi flags in the back look garbled.
The image of Hegeseth is real, at the 5 second mark in this video
The image of Hitler may be altered
The image of Hegeseth is real
Sorry, I should’ve been more clear; I was never questioning the Hegseth image.
The Swastika is somehow completely flat but the flag is folded. It’s a not real image
It’s definetly slop.
So we’re all going to mass downvote the slop so as to deter further slop, right? Right?
The bottom right looks like the top of a heart, it’s a screengrab from a video
How much do you want to bet he studied that exact photo to get the iconography and pose right?
Rear-echelon motherfucker wants to wear Hugo Boss.
It is ironic that his flavour of fascism includes adoring israel not hating it. Anyway, he’s not smart enough to be a very successful villain, hope to see him removed soon
They love to force suffering on others.
It’s like a pressure release valve for them. When they make others suffer it slightly lessens their own terror for a moment.
Whatever bullshit they have to say or do, incantations, prayers, dumb hats, whatever to get to the part where millions suffer, they’ll do it.
They all adore ethno states.

Obviously for money, for that country is one of the largest purchasers of US military equipment.
Just because he idolizes the nazi military doesn’t mean he’s a nazi. He is of course. But that’s not why, everything else he does is why.
Nazis were a lot more competent and did drugs that improved their performance (in the short term)
Honestly the Nazis were not this Uber competent group. Tons of in-fighting, poor strategic and logistical choices, and they did not run the government nor country in this rigid orderly way that is and was projected by their propaganda.
I would say they had a very good propaganda campaign that’s still ongoing and paying dividends. Once you look under the surface some and start learning more about how the country was governed it becomes clear there was plenty of room for improvement.
I mean, think about it this way, they chose to commit an industrial genocide on a hellacious scale wasting men, material and destroying the soul of a nation. How much more manpower would they have had if they didn’t commit these crimes against humanity and instead had drafted these folks.
Like I know it’s not a great comparison or awesome though experiment and lacking any nuance but I think it makes a point.
yeahhhhh but just barely, hitler was just ass much of a fucking nut-job as trump… he advised his generals to read less sun tzu and more karl may; a children’s book author, who wrote stories about cowboys and indians, who had never even visited the US.
this would be like trump telling hegseth to read more harry potter to figure out how to strategize better in the straight of hormuz…
fascists are always incompetent, because they are fucking clowns…
When I had the misfortune of travelling in the US one of the many things that were striking to me was the use of fasces in monuments, including engraved in marble on a war monument in Washington Square Park in NYC.
Of course it’s far from the most fascist thing about modern day America, but it was fascinating to see how blunt it is. I’d jump if I saw the same thing in Europe.
Many in Madrid in Spain too. So there’s that, I sure thought it was weird too.
Oh. If it always has been, then why fight it
If you’re diagnosed with cancer, would you sit and wait to die?
What the USA is doing right now is unique to her history and it does the gravity of what’s happening a disservice to pretend otherwise.
I’ve always thought the stylized eagle was an odd choice.
It’s not odd. It’s a perfect fit for them. It’s intentionally on brand
wanna be temu hilter
Yes… Nazis, they’re all Nazis…
Goldberg fallacy in full effect.
I’m not familiar with the Goldberg fallacy and a quick google search failed me. What does it mean?
Maybe they meant Godwin’s law but now it is a fallacy because they really are nazis
Symbols are for the symbol minded - George Carlin
The thing that makes this regime similar to the Nazis isn’t the way they draw eagles.
This regime is symbol minded though, they do this shit on purpose.
Just as the greased back hair seems to be popular in the cabinet and therabouts.
The new Wolfenstein looks like shit.
Dog whistle
More like a fog horn.
Dog whistle implies they’re trying to hide it
Well idk if most (non-nazi) americans can see the similarity with the right picture missing
The eagle is clutching arrows, representing a fasces, the root of the word fascism, representing the power of the state. Traditionally depicted with an axe at the centre, a fasces was a tool used by the roman armu to discipline soldiers. An axe for decapetation, rods for beating.
it is also the root of the word f*ggot, a bundle of sticks.
:3
Eh, the fasces has a different meaning when you don’t include the axe. Unless you think fascism is when people work together.
It’s a coincidence that someone ai sloped a pic of hitler to look like keggy boy?
What you don’t think that there is historical photography of Hitler doing that?
Lemme know if you find one.
Department of war
The new name is oddly truthful, really not in line with their common stance on truth.
for being a ‘department of war’, one would think they’d actually be good at it.
Soon an even closer to the truth name would be appointed:
The Department of Strategic Miscalculations.
Yeah, but the mask is now off, the bar is lowered.
Hegseth is just a greasy bitch though. He is no leader.
In fairness, Hitler was a greasy little bitch too.
But he was a greasy little bitch who could inspire with words.
unlearned history repeats
They learned, alright. They found it awesome.
only thing they learned is how to fuck people over. they are using that knowledge on us even now
Cmon, it’s a really common pose
Not sure the pose is the primary issue here…
Hegseth is a Hitler loving alcoholic who is actively ruining America and the world, but the eagle motif was present far before Nazis were a thing. Arrows are also a pretty universal symbol. I’m not saying you can’t draw parallels, but it’s not like he designed the seal.
I’m not saying they created them, but I’m still not convinced at all that their use of fascist iconography is coincidental. The combination of symbols and presentation reeks of it. It’s a dogwhistle like so much of what they do.
What a surprise 🙄
Obama raised his Hand like Hitler while waving. It was only for a few moments. What are we even going at atp?
Always with the whataboustism.
Alright, let’s play.
A guy who hasn’t been in charge of anything of consequence in a decade once did a thing where he raised his arm.
Whatabout ICE murdering people. Whatabout violating the constitution and trying to get rid of right of citizenship. Whatabout violation of the constitution about detainment without cause. Whatbout pulling aid from organizations that kept children alive, causing their deaths. Whatbout violating arms length financial dealing rules. Whatabout deragulating climate policies and making the world objectively fucking worse. Whatbout starting a war that was settled before someone had to put their eensy mushroom stamp on it and caused a global financial meltdown. Whatbout the fucking rapes. Whatabout the fucking cons and grifts.
But yeah… Obama raised his arm…
I could go on for hours whatabouting.
Instead I will say everyone in that administration is a garbage human being supporting a garbage human being and anyone who thinks they are OK or handwaves away their atrocities is also a garbage human being.
They all deserve to burn in the hell they claim to believe in.
Always with the whataboustism.
More a vulgar critique of asthetics without regard for material policy.
I might go with “Hitler Also Invaded North Africa” if I wanted a proper comparison. But you’ll get mega-yelled-at if you draw a straight line between Operation Odyssey Lightning and Operation Sonnenblume.
Yes my comment is sh’te, yes I didn’t care for the humour in this post, yes I decided to engage in this post. Everything you just said SHOULD though be taken seriously, 'cause it is not just a massive problem but just grotesque, against human rights and absolute fkery.
So, what I’m going at, my comment deserves the hate, but not 'cause of my supposed world views, but rather 'cause I just didn’t care for the joke for once.
I’m not going to delete my comment 'cause I know I would do the same as you all.
Pretty sure it is 'cause I’m just pissed off of my fellow leftists doing extreme / just dumb things and saying extreme / just dumb things.
Cheers
Hitler had one ball. Piss Pot Pete has none.

One instance is a coincidence
You have this picture here as one ( we won’t even talk about he made the eagle more Nazi like)
They use a Nazi rune for the stage at the RNC where they proudly post the “joke” that they are domestic terrorists.
Their side is EXCLUSIVELY made up of Holocaust deniers.
Their side is made up of EXCLUSIVELY of this country’s neo Nazis and white supremists
Stephen miller plagiarized Goebbels
Trump kept and read Mein Kampf next to his bed
Trump, Vance, and musk campaign for and donate money to the German AfD party who are KNOWN to be NAZIS
Elon Musk “jokingly” sieg Heiled twice so forcibly that he grunted
They have built, and are still building , concetration camps.
Their new illegal bunker has a, very legal I’m sure, medical research facility in it
They all constantly talk about Eugenics.
They are bringing back public executions
This is all aside from. Their policy decisions. At this point, if I meet you on the street and you say that they ARENT NAZIS, we will have problems
