    I think you’re just being ignorant to history. People did stand up to the Nazis and ultimately they were defeated.

      They were not defeated by posters.

        Seriously go read up on 1930s German history you’d be surprised how much it’s been mirrored here

          I see the reflection, just not that protesting was at all what ended it.

        Imma disagree on this point. Propaganda is deffo an important part of war.

          If this was put up in a Trump loving area, I’d agree… but this is in Portland. Everyone just wants a selfie with it.

            This may come as a shock, but there is technology now to convey pictures and in some cases even moving pictures to faraway lands.

                “We deserve fascism because someone was sarcastic to me online” is a pretty shitty take actually.

            I guess you don’t know what propaganda is.

            Oh OK so you’re just a contrarian. Cool, you got people to engage. Was the dopamine hit worth it

        Propaganda existed back then too, and it can be an extremely powerful tool
