Punching Nazis in the face is a long-time beloved tradition. I suggest everyone try it sometime.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 63 points 5 months ago

Earlier, imgur removed a post featuring a Nazi getting punched and so, the Front Page and a nice chunk of Usersub, is all Nazi-punching and fash-bashing.

Since we're leaving the definition of tolerance ambiguous this can justify the persecution of anyone.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 5 months ago

Yes that does including being a piece of biggot

It's really very simple.

Replace "tolerance" with "respect."

If you don't respect the rights of other people to exist, we have no reason to respect your right to exist.

Back in the day, "outlaw" was someone who had forfeited the rights of a citizen, and could be hunted down like a dog.

What counts as disrespecting someone's right to exist?

So the gals that send love letters to serial killers should get the rope?

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago

Guess it really burns you that guys in jail are getting more play than you are, doesn't it?

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 months ago

Don't deflect. You said it's very simple than chose another uselessly vague term.

I got permabanned from reddit for posting the question "what would Eisenhower do if he was present with a machine gun?" underneath a picture of a Nazi march in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is inciting violence in reddit view. Gotta keep those Nazis safe.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I got banned for replying to a sexist bigot who was saying gendered slurs and I quoted him and got banned also for using the quote feature to keep him from editing his comment. Mods banned me, didn't listen to appeals, then it became an admin issue and the admins chased me around banning my accounts for ban evasion and then eventually hit me with an IP ban and ignored all appeals, because "the original comments have been deleted." So if I want to talk shit to nazis there now I have to use a VPN.

A 12-year-old account perma'd because I called out someone for using the B-word in a relationship sub.

I am just so thrilled that our largest communication platform is being so diligently managed with such great common sense and healthy community standards. I bet the AI is going to make it even soooo much better.

Yeah, the right is the most delicate of snowflakes. They'll ban you for asking a question, they'll plug their ears and yell shit about emails if you say something that hits home and they don't have an answer.

The Americans certainly took their fucking time to get involved though.

[-] Maestro@fedia.io 30 points 5 months ago

You can always count on America to do the right thing... after they've tried everything else.

[-] windie@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

And the nazis were inspired by the manifest destiny and praised the Jim Crow system.

Remember, we didn't beat the fascists during WWII using arguments and polite discussion. We bashed the fash back then, we can and must bash the fash today.

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 months ago

Who won the war against nazis was the USSR

[-] Wiz@midwest.social 14 points 5 months ago

Good Lord, what a stupid take.

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 12 points 5 months ago

He just saw Enemy at the Gates for the first time. Have to give him a break.

They surely did their part, but it wasn't only them. USA also had a quite important role in it. Yeah, the USSR won Stalingrad and pushed the German force back, but after the USA landed in the Normandy Germany had to fight at 2 fronts, which reduced the amount of casualties on the allied sides. Would the USSR be able to win the war without the USA? Maybe, I seriously don't know, but saying that they were the one winning the war is kind of ignorant.

Ironically enough, we beat the fascists with a command economy aimed squarely at maximizing war materiel production. Free enterprise my ass ...

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 5 months ago

Anti-fascism is so Orwellian that Orwell himself said that every fascist should be shot.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Orwell himself said that every fascist should be shot.

Actually, he described the method that should be used to burn them in their tanks... but it comes down to the same thing, I guess.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 months ago

I'm paraphrasing for effect. I'm specifically referencing his statements about why he joined the Spanish Civil War. I'm pretty sure he never said "every fascist should be shot" but it makes for a shocking surprise for a chud who thinks that antifa is "Orwellian" because they're "the real fascists".

Yes, the great American Traidtion of gross indifference until the Japanese attacked Pearl harbor.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

That's really not accurate. Prior to Pearl Harbor we were 1) helping extensively to re-arm Britain in their fight against Germany, 2) fighting an undeclared but active war against German U-boats in the Atlantic, and 3) placing an economic embargo on Japan in response to their ongoing invasion of China - the very act that precipitated the Pearl Harbor attack.

Let's be fair to the alt-right. Oppression, racism and all their other values are also American traditions. What a great melting pot!

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 18 points 5 months ago

Americans did not beat the Nazis. USSR did. And after that, the american regime took everyone they could from the tribunals to work for them. Lets not forget the good ol friendships at the time, like IG Farben and Allen Dulles. Lets not forget the first chief of staff of NATO. Lets not forget who put the american astronaut up there. And so on. American liberal democracy ate fascism. And we are what we eat

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 15 points 5 months ago

USSR also occupied Poland for ~44 years.

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago

And what does it have to do with the subject at hand?
