I was taught when I was young that you don't call something that isn't really genocide genocide, someone that isn't a nazi a nazi, etc. because it dilutes the meaning of the word. I do think that Israel is committing a genocide, and I do think that Musk is a neo-nazi; I'm not diluting these terms to say this.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

He backs the neo-nazi party of Germany and does the Hitler salute as well as Hitler himself. He's 100% a neo-nazi.

Are you... disagreeing with me? Or are you reaffirming what I'm saying? I am not sure I understand the point of this comment.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Awe, someone is so unused to positive validation that he doesn't understand agreement.

They're agreeing and saying you weren't as sure of that as you should be.

And calling critisim of israel anti-semetic dilutes the meaning of that word.

[-] Naia 6 points 4 months ago

Which, funny enough, is exactly what Nazis want.

[-] cogman@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

No no, you see they are being "ironic"! Don't you understand their alpha brained comedy? /s

This is exactly what I was thinking. You don't need to employ any tricks right now, they're pretty open about it.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 70 points 4 months ago

Nazis, plural. Where there's one Nazi, there's guaranteed multiple more hiding nearby.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 29 points 4 months ago

Like roaches, except more skeevy.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 4 months ago

and less clean

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago

Sane weird breeding fetish though

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

At this point, they may not even be hiding

[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago

I'm gonna channel John brown with every nazi I see

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

I've seen people unironically insist John Brown was a Nazi. I believe "posting John Brown memes" was one of the arguments for banning a swath of leftist subs on Reddit, back in '16.

[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

A man who gave his life to free slaves is no nazi. The fact that it's controversial to say slaves should be free is what made me radicalized

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

A man who gave his life to free slaves is no nazi.

Ah, but he condoned violence. And every liberal knows that resisting the benevolent enslavement of the superior white race is just as bad as firing artillery rounds at a federal base off the coast of South Carolina.

The fact that it’s controversial to say slaves should be free is what made me radicalized

You're allowed to say slaves should be free. Everyone has the right to free speech, after all.

You're just not allowed to do anything to free the slaves. Or condone those that do. Or mention the names of those that condone those that do. Or suggest in any way that violence is an appropriate response to a problem.

Unless, we're talking about violence aimed at a National Enemy, of course. Then you're an evil double agent of a foreign government if you don't clap enthusiastically at our next Great Patriotic War abroad.

All hail exportation of explosive freedom

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

One day Nazis are going to find out again that people love killing Nazis more than Nazis love killing their undesirables.

[-] Theonetheycall1845@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

You gotta use all caps to really show how much we LOVE killing Nazis.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

Fuck Nazis! Anyone who waves a flag with a Swastika (not the Gammadion Cross), uses Aryan symbols and salutes like a fucking Nazi is a fucking Nazi. I'm just waiting for the MAGA asswipes to force the US military to goose step during parades with Jack Boots.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I really want to remember the name of a program/skit from Germany, where a man complains about nazi soldiers putting up a nazi poster outside his house's wall, then a Gestapo officer comes along, "Why are you calling them nazis? Just because you disagree doesn't mean they're nazis""

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

I do think it's important to try to respectfully explain why what somebody is saying is an issue but only when you have the energy.

I know from some people I've spoken with that they have no idea about the consequences of some things they (used to) agree with. If I had just called them Nazis they would have just felt disrespected and probably not thought about why people might call them that.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

There is some merit to this point. People are emotional creatures first, and sometimes exclusively. It often doesn't matter if you're right if the other people feels bad about it.

This is a really immature, unsophisticated, way to engage with the world, but it's the reality for a lot of people. Honestly, it happens to all of us sometimes. Some people seem to rarely rise above the gutfeel level, though.

It does kind of suck that we have to cater to the most simplistic ways of engaging with the world, because if we don't they'll form a far right party and do some genoide.

[-] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

but only when you have the energy.

Thank you for this, because I don't have more than to post fuck Nazis

It's the year 2035 and Johnny returns home from school....

Johnny: Hi mom!

Mom: Get back here and greet your one and only mother properly!

Johnny: fuck nazis mom!

Mom: fuck nazis my handsome boy!

[-] bravesentry@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago

And meanwhile, all over Johnny´s country, people are jailed, murdered and tortured for their ethnical background. But not by nazis, nonono.

[-] Alph4d0g@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 months ago

Good to sort any pedantic or bad faith arguments out now. Pedantry didn't win the day to stave off WWII and that shit caught on quick. Let's get ahead of that this time.

I strongly suggest following him on Mastodon.

Replies to his posts are among the most useful tools you can have to get a good blocklist going.
