I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...
I think directly funding a genocidal regime is functionally the same. Like if a friend told me he’d kill people if only he had a gun and then I give him the gun I would be complicit.
Do you think Nazis advocated for totalitarianism and genocide before they came to power? It was gradual and dog whistled, just like those 5 to 10 Republicans are doing today.
I’d say the only thing that has been so thoroughly beaten into people’s minds is what you’re having trouble getting past; the myth that the Nazis went full insane before they had total power.
The truth is that it was just like today: demonizing all minorities and blaming them for all of society’s problems while downplaying the calls for, and acts of, violence.
We’re seeing 1920 to 1932 Nazi party, attempted takeover and all, and those of us who see it for what it is are trying to stop them from becoming post-1932 Nazi party, the one you’re afraid of.

Parler français c’est cool, je parle aussi italien, reste que l’anglais est plus pratique sur mon continent et pas mal dans tout les autres pays ou j’ai voyagé.
As a French speaker, we could do away with accents and absolute tons of silent vowels and consonants and French would still work exactly as well. People complain about English because more people learn it as a second language and these forums are anglo-centric, but French is just as much of a grammatical mess.
Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, in his first remarks after being elected Wednesday afternoon, told Members of Congress that “Scripture” and “the Bible” are clear that they have been “ordained” by God.
Montreal used to be solid snow from November to April, now it’s weird waves of snow and melt. Slush half the time and garbage weather. Thanks climate change!
He’s got a point, I hate tankies on my instance, but in the real world Nazis infiltrating conservative politics and getting elected presently is a much more pressing problem.
The only issue is that I’ll see perfectly logical socialist, communist or anarchist arguments get attacked as “tankie” and I worry that all this hullabaloo is just rightists trying to set back leftist ideology by painting it all as tankie ideology.
My man, all the buses around here have systems that allow them to go down to street level to allow wheel chairs and all the metros have elevators. If your public transportation isn’t helping the differently abled then your local government is to blame.
