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.

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

Mod her: 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.

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

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.

deep fried goebbels (gore)Pretend there was gore here

but also, and im not a mod of anything and this would probably get you banned a lot of places:

nazi shit needs to be shown for what it is. no more looking away. a century of looking away and pretending it couldn't happen here, that it wasn't happening here, that it was just about 'ethics in games journalism' or whatever bullshit is what got us here. show that shit.

if we keep looking away, we will keep letting it happen. I would rather see a few old photos of gore a bunch of times than have to smell them, or risk being them, every time I go outside. a state of affairs which we are perilously fucking close to.

edit: so please; post more gore. you might just be saving lives!

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

I completely agree with you. And I want to make one thing clear: I hope Goebbels, or any other Nazis, last hours on earth have been agonisingly painful in every form possible. Seeing them crispy makes me happy.

But, and this is a pretty big but, there are people out there who lost loved ones in fires and stuff like this might trigger them and cause unnecessary pain. While “humans well done” don’t bother me much, there are topics that drive me up the wall especially when it comes out of nowhere.

So while I can at least understand where (whatever his name was, I honest to god already forgot about him) their reaction came from, I also think it is important to show people the horrors of the last century. Because like you already said, politely talking about it in a SFW fashion clearly didn’t work.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 21 hours ago

like I said; I have watched the body of someone I loved disintegrate with their brain still at least partially functional in one of the most horrible ways a person can die. I think a lot of being precious about this shit comes from not having actually been exposed to it, and relying on your imagination.

like, PTSD from actual experiences is real, but outside of burned-in combat PTSD where your survival instincts and/or training are looped in, it's never as simple as you would think.

[-] higgsboson@dubvee.org 6 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

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 14 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 23 hours ago
[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 13 points 23 hours ago

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 23 hours 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 22 hours 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.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago

yeah but what if it makes me uncomfortable, so I would rather look away and let it happen again, and you're a big dumb meanie-pants for putting evidence of the consequences of my actions where I can see them? what then, huh?

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 21 hours ago

hey, yeah, so, my people were also slaughtered by the nazis. some of the first, actually. and again by reaganites. I have watched loved ones die slowly and horribly with my own eyes in non-nazi-related deaths. like actually seen smelled touched it, not just heard stories from grandma.

and I would rather see this shit if it reminds people the stakes of current politics. also, that's a nazi in the pic, it just happens it also got kiled because of nazi shit.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours 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.

[-] DogEarBookmark@reddthat.com 6 points 23 hours 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.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 21 hours ago

never cry over spilled nazi.
