Obvious as it may sound, people with authoritarian beliefs hiding behind free speech actually consider it as a weakness akin empathy. It allows losers like them to amplify their reach despite not being in power. They abandon their "free speech absolutist" postures the moment they think they are in power.

Goebbels must have felt really clever when he killed his children and wife. Right Goebbels?

Goebbels? (Gore)

Oh.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 11 points 1 month ago

A better fate than what he deserved, IMO.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately he was allegedly burned after his death

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

See? Better than what he deserved.

[-] higgsboson@dubvee.org 5 points 1 month ago

Reported for untagged gore. Blocked for being a shitbag troll.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 38 points 1 month ago

Mod here: Nah, that stays up.

You just sear that image into your brain and think about it every time you hear the word Nazi, remember what they did to human beings (even their own).

If you haven't seen them, look up pictures of the holocaust because those horrors should never be forgotten.

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

To be fair, the gore part I kinda understand. How do I tag a comment with gore? I mean he could have told me himself but he was so scared of what I might reply, he blocked me.

Hide it as a spoiler that is titled what it is and that it has gore.

Fuck you. This shit is traumatic for me. had family members murdered by the actual Nazis. Blocked you and this shithole community.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

You know that's a Nazi in the pic, right?

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

He doesn’t. But now nobody can tell him. Because he blocked everyone 😔

Yes, the holocaust was an extremely traumatic event, that's the whole point.

I'm not whitewashing history for you, sorry.

[-] notsoshaihulud@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I would have reported the pic for gore, but I think hiding it under spoiler is fair game. What humanity should have learned from this story is that just because ideologies that consider fairness or empathy a weakness might appear viable and effective to grab power quickly, we have plenty of gory evidence that they do lead to the annihilation of millions, including those initially benefiting from them.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

A spoiler would be OK by me, but I would still encourage everyone to look at what they did if they have not seen it. Visit a holocaust museum even. Frankly, I don't know that everyone understands, there are an increasing number of people who downplay or outright deny the horrors of World War II and everything that led to it.

[-] DogEarBookmark@reddthat.com 6 points 1 month ago

Sorry to hear about your family.

If the world is going to blatantly ignore history, then the atrocities should become more abundantly available as a reminder. Censoring history is re-writing it.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I had great uncles and an aunt I never got to meet because of Nazis. This picture is soothing, being a reminder of what happens to all Nazis. They all die. Every single one of them is removed before their time. It's comforting to know that this too shall pass.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago

You might be interested in History of Everything's video, "How? How educated people commit genocide". It is available for free, uncensored, at his Patreon. This is history that should be remembered, so that it can't be repeated.

How? How educated people commit genocide

What's the story here? I thought Goebbels was among those tried at Nuremberg

[-] comfy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Search: goebbels death -> Goebbels Wikipedia article:

In the mid-afternoon of 30 April, Hitler shot himself. [...] On the evening of 1 May, Goebbels arranged for an SS dentist, Helmut Kunz, to inject his six children with morphine so that when they were unconscious, an ampule of a cyanide compound could be then crushed in each of their mouths. [...] At around 20:30, Goebbels and [wife] Magda left the bunker and walked up to the garden of the Chancellery, where they killed themselves. There are several different accounts of this event. [I've omitted contradictory claims of how they died and were treated after by SS soldiers] The corpses were then doused with petrol, but they were only partially burned and not buried.

Thank you for that! I know you didn't have to do it, so I want you to know that I appreciate your effort.

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I think you confuse him with Göring.
