The image is a black and white photograph depicting a large group of people, predominantly young adults dressed in mid-20th-century attire, walking down what appears to be a city street or pedestrian path. They are moving towards the right side of the frame with some individuals looking back as if they're aware that their picture is being taken.

The crowd comprises men and women wearing various styles such as suits for men and dresses or skirts and blouses for women. Some people carry books, suggesting an academic context. The attire suggests a time period likely between the 1940s to early '50s based on fashion trends of that era.

On one side of the path are parked vehicles including cars and trucks typical of mid-century design, indicating this event is taking place in an urban area with sufficient road space for vehicular traffic. On the opposite side from where people walk appears a row of trees or shrubs which separate them from what could be residential properties or another public pathway.

The photograph captures a sense of organized movement and unity among the crowd, possibly indicative of participation in a specific event like a march or parade. The text '3:02pm' visible at the top left suggests that this was captured during daylight hours on March 1st, but no year is provided within the image.

The overall scene conveys an atmosphere of communal activity and shared purpose among individuals who seem to be en [...]

The image is a black and white photograph showing an audience in what appears to be an indoor arena or auditorium. Several young men are seated on tiered metal bleachers, attentively listening as they watch something off-camera that has captured their attention. The windows behind them let natural light into the space, highlighting the rows of people below.

The photo is marked with handwritten notations "7-13" and possibly a location or date reference in another language at its top left corner. It captures a moment of collective focus among what appears to be university students during an event involving General Smedley Butler on Peace Day, as indicated by the caption from Student audience listening to Peace Day address of General Smedley Butler.

The overall atmosphere is one of engagement and contemplation, with individuals absorbed in their surroundings or possibly reflecting upon a speech they have heard.

Whatever he wasn't talking about there, that must've been pretty bad. It was enough to persuade Smedley Butler that war was a racket.

1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces

2. this #bs #historian https://youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)

no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (#money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people

in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process

also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )

check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion”

Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."

A quote from #SmedleyButler - the most decorated soldier in American history:

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer; a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914.
