Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: Historical Revisionism

These historically accurate pictures[1][2] are fake news!

Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: Really? Can we please stomp the Nazis, at least here?

Yes, Nazis and other fascists, especially ones who commit genocide, and especially when it doesn’t require a time machine because it’s happening as we speak.

You clearly have no idea what revisionism means...

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Everyone knows it means. Where’s your evidence of such a historical rewriting from a The Office meme?

[-] Tricia@feddit.de 6 points 5 months ago

The meme clearly states that there is no difference between nazi germany an Israel. I know the idea is to show how bad Israel is but whats actually happens is that crimes of Nazi Germany are relavated.

So congards, your helping fashists saying that Nazis werend that bad...

"genociding people is bad" is such a hot take it makes past genocides look better than they actually were

This is the logical equivalent of a dog chasing its own tail.

Why cant two things be horrebly bad without being the same...

They are not the same, one is happening right now as I type this. The other is in the past, unable to be changed. Time is linear like that. The point of the meme is that the place where the Nazis were celebrated THEN is NOW celebrating another genocide in progress.

The subtleties of the same picture meme are lost on you.
