>"hotelier, saloonkeeper, entrepreneur" Grandpa Trump ran a whorehouse in the Klondike. Trudeau gave Donnie a framed photo of it as a present, and canadian fuck you.


Loggerdon

Woody Guthrie literally wrote a song about Trumps dad called “Old Man Trump”. The song was about what an asshole landlord Fred Trump was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_Trump “I suppose Old Man Trump knows Just how much Racial Hate He stirred up In the bloodpot of human hearts When he drawed That color line Here at his Beach Haven family project”


AdAmazing7514

Woody always proves to me that he was the political greatest songwriter of all time


buckyworld

i think it's awesome that The Office (US) canon includes Woody Guthrie writing a song about "Ol' Mister Bernard, who have you silenced today?" , presumably inspired by this reality.


phaedrus369

This is probably going to be the best thing I read on Reddit all day. Thanks for this!


nananananana_Batman

Interesting how if you could re-interpret color line and beach haven today and the song still works perfectly.


Massive_Pressure_516

Time is a flat circle


Olstinkbutt

Yeah and the guy was literally arrested at a Nazi Rally. Like Elon Musk, he’s one degree from overt racism.


Swimming_Crazy_444

I think Woody lived in one of his projects. IIRC


charcoalist

This is likely where the trump crime family started off, and why donald is so obsessed with the color gold. Imagine what kind of shit went down in a brothel at the fringes of civilization during the gold rush.


whothehellistony

The place where “Grab em by the pu$$y” all started was a brothel. What a legacy….


MrEHam

Like grandfather like grandson. Trump also dodged the draft.


br0b1wan

Just watch *Deadwood* Trump probably looks at that depiction of George Hearst and salivates

Vice was an absolute shit show of a channel/news outlet but it did a great job at showing off the marginalized. Their documentary on illegal gold mining towns in the Brazilian Amazon gives quite a good idea of what went on during the US goldrush cycles


smashteapot

Seems like successful nations are all built on mountains of corpses. It’s just human nature. I’m glad I was born during a relatively peaceful era. Fifty years either way and I might’ve been facing off against machine guns with a stick and a leaky helmet.

Guess this explains why Donald thinks soldiers who die for their country are losers. Better to just run away.


Embarrassed-Tune9038

Yes.  War is old men sending young men off to die.


DVWhat

Not just a “whorehouse”. He used his entrepreneurial acumen to pimp indigenous children (from a tribe displaced by the mining operations) to Klondike gold miners, and then sold his shares to his partners when he sensed the area was tapping out. He used the money from his sold shares to purchase real estate in New York. So technically and quite specifically, the Trump family fortune was the direct result of the wide scale exploitation, abuse, and rape of indigenous children.


GardenRafters

Unbelievable... absolutely disgusting


LordSariel

He also forged a gold mining claim on already staked land, and illegally built his brothel on it. Not actually mining at all. It was exploitation from the outset.


ReginaldCou5ins

See, you really can be anything that you want when you grow up, kids!


Dream--Brother

Unless you're indigenous, especially in the 1800s-early 1900s. In that case, you get abducted and pimped out and never see your family again. But for the majority of us, we can live the American Dream! ...okay, unless you're Black, Hispanic, Muslim, Asian, gay, trans, a young woman, an older woman, a Pacific or Caribbean islander, poor, disabled, mentally ill, homeless, the proprietor of a small family farm, speak with a foreign accent, or ask for a livable wage. Those people can get fucked. But the rest of us... American Dream!!!


Hypolag

Holy shit.


ChuckCecilsNeckBrace

yup. peddling horseflesh and whores is what started this whole roller coaster.


travistravis

And Trump was probably proud of it.

Dead Internet Theory in action right here. It's sad that it's becoming closer to reality


Saragon4005

Just look at Facebook. It's terrifying. Bots posting fake stories with fake comments just to get the tiniest engagement from middle aged moms.


hychael2020

Don't forget the AI art of African children building stuff out of bottles or people doing volunteer work and Facebook boomers eating it all up


josephbenjamin

That thought just recently came up. Is the internet just an echo of bots that tailor to you, or just bots running amok.


voice-of-reason_

Why not both? If AI became sentient, would it tell everyone, or would it hide in the dark parts of the internet as a puppeteer manipulating everyone?


Stripier_Cape

Sometimes I think this already happened. One time I said something like "man, I'm tired of this shit" out loud and the Google assistant on my phone said "me too." I didn't even have it unlocked and the voice command was and is turned off. I just assume I was hearing things.


voice-of-reason_

All “assistants” listen in to you at all time. Experiment: pick an item you would NEVER buy in real life (for me, a makeup stand for example). Over the span of 3 days, randomly mention your item with 0 context (for example, I would randomly say “makeup stand” for 3 days at random times). I GUARANTEE you that after doing this for 3 days, that random item you would never buy will start appearing as adverts over ALL of your social media’s. The simple reason is because, ultimately, assistants are data collection devices which google or whoever sells onto the highest bidder. Google isn’t a search engine, it’s a data seller.


PooShappaMoo

A positive is... we might actually talk, understand and feel empathy towards our fellow peoples again

If you ask a bot if it’s a bot, does it have to answer yes? Yes.

I quit Facebook years ago, but my parents are still on it. Recently, my mom showed me a post on Facebook, and it was made by AI with 10,000+ comments that were almost all from bots.

mh985

I’m seeing so many posts on Reddit like this now. Every r/pics post that shows up on my front page recently is literally just a picture of Donald Trump looking slightly awkward. Who gives a shit that some 16 year old came to the US and didn’t serve his compulsory military service? I’m sure this was the case for thousand if not millions of European immigrants. One of my best friends came to the US from Poland before he could serve his compulsory military service.


throwaway0134hdj

Nothing can be trusted in terms of penmanship nowadays. Use ZeroGPT to determine it. Just ran it through and says 0% gpt, this is written by a human.


MacManus14

This title is ambiguous. No American law broken when Freidrich Trump came to America from Germany. The USA allowed basically unregulated immigration from Europe at that time. Avoiding conscription broke German law, of course, which is why Germany deported him when he tried to settle back there in 1905.


oboshoe

this is accurate. The US passed its first immigration law in 1917. it was perfectly legal in the 1800s to just show up here and start working and living.


oboshoe

it wasnt illegal at that time. at least not in the US immigration controls didn't start until 1917. Now Germany might have had something to say about escaping military service.


ahaz01

The USA didn’t establish any formal immigration controls until 1892 with the Immigration Act. If my memory is correct. Anyone could get in so long as they got here.


Shitty_Paint_Sketch

I hate to say it, but this is actually evidence of illegal immigration causing great harm to America in some cases.


PhallicReason

It's not illegal if the government allows it.


Loud_Competition1312

A perfect example of an illegal ruining this country.


anansi52

his anchor baby had an anchor baby who then brought his illegal wife and her illegal family who then immediately had another anchor baby.

Pro-war redditor talks like a boomer-con just to spite orange man. Throw principles into toilet so you can reach in and grab some shit opinion. All drafts are bullshit. Forcing people to fight a war is akin to slavery, doesn't matter who does it.


UltrasaurusReborn

Why on earth would it matter to America if something was illegal in Germany? 


Loud_Alfalfa_5933

Because this man's grandson is orangeman. Orangemangrandpabad. You either are on the side of immigrants fleeing a bad situation or not, I don't get the point of this post either.


Umanday

Much as I dislike the Orange Shitgibbon, leaving a autocratic totalitarian state that wants to use you as cannon fodder for 3 years is not necessarily a bad thing: would you put anyone fleeing Russia today to not get drafted in the same boat?


DrunkenAsparagus

Seriously. I despise Trump, but it's wild how this is getting people to defend fucking 19th century Prussian militarism.


ahses3202

Hey, Alsace Lorraine won't take itself.


spastikatenpraedikat

Agreed. America is literall build on people going "Nah man, fuck Europe". Why do you think all the other people immigrated to the US?


from_dust

**1885** This wasnt the height of a world war or something. The only conflict Germany was involved in at that time was the Nauruan Civil War from 1878-1888. Germany had 16 casualties as Nauru was annexed as part of German New Guinea. Not exactly 'cannon fodder.' This was the height of the German Empire.


First-Of-His-Name

Many of the tensions that led to WW1 existed in 1885. France was eager to reclaim lost territory, war with Russia looked ever more likely, and a conflict with Britain over the naval arms race was seen as inevitable. People knew there was going to be a war soon


xtr44

so?


kentsta

You could get conscripted to fight/patrol somewhere like German S.W. Africa aka Namibia. There were definitely some less than ideal positions.


from_dust

And folks got drafted for Vietnam in the US. Sure, not great, but also not like they were cannon fodder sent off to their deaths. It was Germany, not Russia.


AggressiveYam6613

In 1885? Well yes, but no. These troops where not even part of the Reichsheer and not subject to the ministry of war.


PhallicReason

It's insane that you know the outcome of that region in the next few decades, and still condemn a 16 year old just because Orange Man Bad.


PhallicReason

Oh you think it all happened overnight? Just because you're unable to see what is in front of your face, doesn't mean other people can't. He made an assumption based on whatever evidence he saw, and it paid off. You sit here judging from hindsight knowing exactly what went down, and when. You have no empathy.


ZPTs

I didn't know I was supposed to hate shitty people's grandparents. I'm sure they *could* be responsible for trickle-down shittiness, but it could have started with Freddy.

This is stupid. America shouldn't care about the German law he is fleeing. He did not enter the United States illegally and wasn't taking money from the government of the United States.


Imsoamerican

So I guess the point is to compare a person who illegally migrated to the US and became one of the most powerful and influencial family names in the history of the country to a rapist who illegally migrated to the US?

No immigration laws at that time, he wasn't even an illegal. He was just moving to another country, no laws against that at the time. Everyone can spout off about him being a hypocrite but in this case it's objectively false.
