Looks like YDI. I'm under the impression this was 196 and so the rules are pretty explicit about this stuff and Nuremberg is in the meme.

Feels like someone could win centrist turboposter YPTB crash out bingo at this point.

Hi!

Here's the context:
Post

(Not relevant but this post was removed for misinformation as he wasn't some random journalist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Streicher)

Your scenario wasn't terribly relevant to a nazi propagandist being hung after the war, after the holocaust. It came across as trying to paint the idea that nazis were hung as bad. When others brought up death tolls alluding to genocide you likened the idea of killing nazis to the current US government killing reporters.

I had a brief look through your profile after and it's clear you're no nazi, but we still found your comments in poor taste.

I took the meme at face value without researching who it was so respectfully I think you might be taking my comments out of context.

We considered your comments without the context of who the guy really was. We still found them in poor taste.

You straight up called it Nazi apologia and didn’t respond when I DM’d you to clear it up which is why I’m calling this mod action out as power tripping.

I wasn't available at the time? I can't be expected to respond instantly to everything. It is nazi apologia, even if that was not intentional. At least in context it seemed like it. I would have written "nazi" if I removed the comments because I thought you were a nazi and would then promptly have banned you.

No instead you misinterpreted it, put ‘Nazi apologia’ on the mod log before you deleted the entire post so no one has context.

To be clear I don’t care that you removed the comment I care that you put Nazi apologia on my mod log when I’m very anti-Nazi.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

How were they supposed to know you didn't bother to learn what the meme was about before using it as the basis of your argument?

I couldn't find the post you commented on because it was removed, but I think it was the one about Julius Streicher.

If it was, then... The hanging of Julius fucking Streicher after his conviction at Nuremberg is a little goddamn different from hanging journalists who don't politically align with the current government.

I agree with the mod.

If this is about Charlie Kirk, Kirk was not a journalist. He was a racist piece of shit propagandist who spread hatespeech and neo-nazi ideas. Yeah I think calling Charlie Kirk a journalist is nazi apologia because you were deliberately muddying who Charlie Kirk was. A hatespeech propagandist who frequently parroted neo-nazi talking points. And you know what they say, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck its probably safe to assume its a duck.

Was about a literal nazi propagandist from nazi germany. We did indeed interpret Satans comments as muddying the waters

[-] Comrade_Spood@quokk.au 22 points 2 days ago

Cool, so even worse than what I was assuming lmao.

Great, and the next time the right is in power they'll remember this and categorize everybody on the left as not-a-journalist but rather a propagandist working on behalf of foreign powers to undermine America by evangelizing a bankrupt ideology that destroys societies. I'm so excited for the future, you guys.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 23 points 2 days ago

They already do that. Your worst case scenario is their starting point.

We're talking - specifically- about the right in the US. The bug fuck batshit insane racist sexist homophobic fascist party of grifters and thieves who are literally causing harm and death right now. Don't try and devil's advocate them

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 18 points 2 days ago

Quick question. But first, lets recap:

  • Anti-capitalism is terrorism
  • Anti-fascism is terrorism
  • Anti-americanism is terrorism
  • Anti-christianity is terrorism

Don't you think this is already the plan?

I think its the plan, I just think it hasn't been fully put into effect yet.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

OK. Point me to some actual journalism from Kirk.

Edit: still waiting...

[-] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They already did, and the Zionists who they aspire to regularly target enemy journalists. The damage demonizing protestors and funding police has already been fucking done. Your liberal virtue signalling will not save lives. Killing Nazis just might.

[-] Comrade_Spood@quokk.au 12 points 2 days ago

Dude we are already there. They did not and do not need an excuse. Look at the way they talk about the No Kings protests, despite the protesters doing everything to show they are non-violent and are not anti-american. They are deploying the military to crush them and painting them as "paid antifa protesters."

This is not about Charlie Kirk but he should not have been shot (not hung either).

[-] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No, he should have been eaten alive by something.

Yet more proof this isn't a just world.

[-] Comrade_Spood@quokk.au 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I assumed it could be because someone else commented about it and as far as I saw you didnt add context for what it was about. Sorry for the assumption.

And to clarify, I do not think we should shoot or hang people like Charlie Kirk. However I do not feel bad for his death, and I did and do celebrate it. I will celebrate the deaths of people who wish harm for me and my friends and family, even if I do not think it is the most constructive or effective means for addressing the problems.

Edit: I am actually going to adjust my clarificarion. I have mixed feelings about whether killing Charlie Kirk was justified. Under normal conditions, no. However we do not live under normal conditions anymore, this is ramping up to a civil war and I think we need to realize in certain areas we will need to do unsavory and things we viewed as wrong in order to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and to ensure a safe, free, and tolerant society. Does that mean I think the killing of Charlie Kirk was the right decision (assuming hypothetically it was a leftist with good intentions, and not just a groyper trying to get a false flag)? I dont know. But I am happy he is dead.

I will end this with John Brown did nothing wrong (except the Pattowatomie Massacre).

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

If you don't want nazi apologia removed, don't post it. Your intent is not relevant.

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

Some context would be nice here

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

The context showed they defended a Nazi enabler, so that's why they didn't include it.
