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.
Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP.
I’m not about to argue the finer points of Southern culture with anyone, because I can accept that I was born and raised in the hot flames of a dumpster fire, but I’ll tell you gotdamned commie Yankees one thing: I’d rather be dead in the hallowed halls of a Cook Out than alive in an In-N-Out
I almost never eat meat but we’re getting a Cook Out in my town & I’m gonna eat there as soon as I can just to spite this person
Cook out is literally normal food. what is this Yankee dumbass person so fucking afraid of? quesadillas??? is it onion rings? what are we scared of
Cook Out is so fucking good. Someone please order a shake from the huge shake menu for me. I loved that shit when we lived in NC.
Okay as someone from California I need all non-Californians to know - In-and-Out is fucking disgusting. This shit (Cook Out) sounds delicious; I want some bbq or Cajun Chicken. Huge Shake menu??? Please I want to see it.
As for In-And-Out… The buns at in and out are STALE BITCH. Thin ass, sad ass buns. Stale bitch ass buns. Don’t get me started on how sad the fries are. Bla bla bla “animal fries” how are you gonna enjoy them when each fry is just a shriveled sad little mess. Bitch Carl Jr. Fries are better, McD’s fries are better, 5 Guys fries (and burgers) are better like - most things are better than In-and-Out and I don’t understand why the lines are always so long at each place they bleed into the actual roads and cause traffic.
Fuck In-And-Out that shit sucks. Habit Burger is a better Californian Burger chain for the Green Beans alone and everyone who disagrees with me must enjoy stale-ass thin-ass buns. Everyone around here praises in and out because it’s so cheap, but you wait too long in line to get THAT. I’ve never been happy from an in and out it gets too much praise. I’m sorry for derailing and going on a rant but I saw In-And-Out mentioned and FUUUCK that place and their stupid ass buns. Also Cook Out looks really yummy, I might ask to go to one next time I visit my fiancé.
Bruh, when we go inside, I tell the cashier that I want a shake but i want it to be a surprise, or to give me their favorite flavor. Amd it is my favorite. You get such interesting combos. One lady literally put all the candy flavors plus cherry and it was AMAZING.
“your rent should be a third of your income” well wouldn’t that be nice. wouldn’t it. lower the rent pussy
Casual observation from someone old enough to remember: in the year 2000 financial advice was that rent should be no more than ¼ of your income.
Until the mid 80s, the advice was that if you must rent instead of owning, then that 20% of your monthly income (oh yes, only 20%) should include all your utilities too.
After all, rent costs more than a mortgage, so it should offer more too.
Hey guys! The WGA is asking for people to sign a petition aimed against Universal. Treegate isn’t the first union busting tactic Universal has tried.
They started a construction project that “just so happens” to block some of the sidewalks and forces picketers to walk in the street. The government told Universal they need to install safety rails to replace the sidewalks. A demand Universal has so far ignored.
Please sign the petition for Universal to install the safety rails and reblog.
I want to preface this by saying this is not victim blaming. This not calling people online lazy or grifting or whatever.
But an underlooked proponent on why some people are nearing homeless and crowdfunding heavily rn is bc society has failed you by making it as inconvenient as possible to learn about social systems and programs that already exist to help your situation as well as not having enough programs and aid.
Lemme give some examples. I have been unemployed for 10 months. My mom told me about a paying job training program a month ago after I already decided to mive in with her to find work, because nothing was coming up in my own city. My best friend didn’t know about affordable housing assistance in my state until she talked to my dad about it on a chance encounter. Some people on here have to see posts about much cheaper alternatives to their current prescriptions or medical plans because its not in the interest of their doctors paychecks to tell them about it. I would have waited to get vaccinated and not have crowdfunded for Uber money if I had known they were going to give free vaccine rides the next month. But I wouldn’t have really known this until I opened the app once that program started, because it is in their interest to keep taking my money until its their desired time for me to reap their “generous” services.
What I’m trying to say is that this is an under discussed aspect of how capitalism fails people. When you are forced to make your life and work and finances so singular and self interested, you are cut off from community and equivalent social services to proper government assistance. You literally don’t know that there is help somewhere out there for you unless you’re told.
I believe a professor I had called this “cultural wisdom” but I haven’t been able to find the social science articles that expanded on this. It’s a practical knowledge of local systems that allows someone to function and thrive in that system. The example she used was having an understanding that banks can hold your money, but the practical aspect of accessing your money (in a convenient and easy manor) was knowing about ATMs and how to use them. But unless you have an account or someone ready to inform you, there’s no dedicated time or milestone where someone learns this.
And that’s just with a machine designed to give you YOUR money, let alone complex social service programs.
I want everyone who crowdfunds for hospital bills to know they probably don’t have to oay them at all. Just find the financial aid office of the hospital. It’s on the website BY LAW. Find the form. Fill it out. Get the bills canceled or lowered! You don’t need crowd money, you need the government’s money that’s already set aside for your medical care.
GO TO, MESSAGE, OR CALL YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. Libraries are focusing more and more on community resources, support, and outreach. If you genuinely don’t know something or feel uncertain or are in a new situation, a reference librarian will not only help you sort your thoughts through their reference interview but then help you arm yourself with knowledge from reliable and often local sources. It doesn’t even have to be a question to Ask A Librarian. You can simply say “I’m in this situation now. I don’t know what to do next./I’m not confident I know everything I should or want to know.”
If you are in America - 211 is your friend. It’s the United Way’s database of social assistance resources. When I was doing resource development for my masters in social work 211 was my holy grail. And there’s things that only workers know about that just calling and asking can reach cuz it sets off the social service phone tree. I will say YOU have to be persistent of you want to access these resources. Most of the ngo agencies are most interested in helping the pro-active clients in my experience. But do use the resources. They’re golden.
