Not really “powertripping”. Just pathetic. Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org… I’ve unsubbed and blocked the instance.

We can’t dehumanize fascists for their choice to dehumanize everyone for things outside their control though, because that would be mean, and hurt their sociopath feefees!

Europe stool idly by throughout the 1930’s “tolerating” fascism, and the Nazi’s killed over 100 million people. Don’t make the same mistake as the radical centrists of history. Fascists will not afford you the same tolerance or courtesy.

    You’re right. I scrolled through the instances top communities. Most seemed political, and are pretty small, so I just assumed it’s a propaganda mill. Might not be.

        To add to this, the “Bundestag” is elected in a week, which is why everything is about politics right now. It doesn’t help, that the political debate in Germany is extremely heated right now.

          rest of us have to tip toe around their bad history and blind bootlicking of the nazi nepo baby regime which they will defend until froth comes out of their lying mouth lol

          Dude what on earth happened here.

          I feel like this is just stirring up additional extra inter-instance drama for no reason. I haven’t seen any of this.

          Who are some of the member of the regime you are not allowed to criticize on feddit.org? I want to try an experiment similar to the one from yesterday, to see if anyone shows up to defend those people until froth comes out of their mouth.

              triggering talking points:

              mutti merkel years and how she blundered big time nordstream pipelines german’s industrial base over reliance on russian gas which is was the real reason for german foreign policy vis-a-vis russia and eastern european states

              What in the fuck are you talking about?

              Now we are from Nazi nepo babies to Angela Merkel?

              Okay, sure, I did a search for “Merkel” in !europe@feddit.org

              OH LOOK: https://feddit.org/post/4096183 and click on the article, if you’re curious, and Ctrl-F for “Russia”. Or, read the comments:

              She comes from the same broken mindset and corrupt party as Kohl who was the worst of all chancellors Germany ever has suffered from.

              worst of all chancellors

              (Yes, someone made the joke)

              For me it’s hard to have a positive view of her. The more I learn about the past, the more my jaw drops at how fucking ignorant our leaders were. Russia has been at war since inception till today almost nonstop, with only a few years of non aggression. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia

              A quick cherry picked list that should’ve been more than enough reason to NOT SEND BILLIONS OF EUROS TO RUSSIA!!!

              AND LOOK: https://feddit.org/post/5145647 and read the top comment.

              I think you’re just making up combative nonsense, dude. Can you show me in the modlog where someone got deleted for criticizing Angela Merkel or Stefan Quandt? Without also being a cock about something which would maybe lead to them getting deleted for that, just saying along the lines of the comments above that Merkel was terrible?

              Edit: Emphasized the joke a little more

                  Yeah, they wound me up successfully.

                  IDK, I also don’t feel like “yeah we all hate Europe” “YEAH FUCK GERMANY” “Yeah everyone knows feddit.org is bullshit” “I heard feddit.org is all EU propaganda” should just proliferate all over the comments section while everyone pretends it isn’t here, or weird.

                    Yeah I’ve got certain users tagged for having consistent malicious takes. I usually just downvote them, but even if I engage I’ll resist the whole “wrestling with pigs in shit” thing.

                  I addressed this in my comment. I said, “without also being a cock” et cetera.

                  If you say “You are too poorly educated to understand” “JFC learn the history of your own country” “their pathetic existence” and so on, your comments are probably going to get deleted. If you criticize Angela Merkel, it’s fine. Learn the difference.

          You do realize that in German culture, the horrific actions of the Nazis are taught from an early age, and Germans are highly dismissive of the movement?

          Just because Nazis were primarily German in ethnicity doesn’t mean that the contemporary movement’s biggest proponents are also German. That honor falls to Americans.

          And for fuck sakes. There were German Jews leading up to WWII. You’re monolithizing an ethnostate, which makes you look more than a tad ignorant.

          Let’s stop this rabble, and focus on the point at hand: intolerating Nazis, wherever they come from.

          I love how all these “europe” communities is just germans.

          Germans are the second most numerous nation in Europe after Russians. Germany also has a very active political tech scene that pushes FOSS alternatives and cares about privacy (Datenschutz). For example Firefox has 20% desktop market share compared to 3% in the USA. Nextcloud and Mastodon are based in Germany.

          So Germans being very present on Lemmy should not come at much surprise.

      It’s worth mentioning that mods of a community do not have to come from the instance the community is hosted on. The mod who upset you may not even be associated with the instance.
