We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

A honey trap.... or a house full of nazis?

Are people actually doing a pilgrimage to honor a genocidal sociopath?

I wouldn't call them people, but yes of course they do.

Are you new to humanity?

I think we all need to reconcile with the fact that a huge portion of the populace is incredibly evil.

It’s a whole thing. I stayed in an inn in a town in Germany where Hess or one of the other high ranking Nazis was buried and the innkeeper told us there’s always people coming into town and leaving little offerings on the grave. He described them as “creatures depositing leavings that the city had to keep cleaning up”. I’d hoped he meant it was vandalism, but no.

That description reminds me of the way Guillermo del Toro described the vampires in The Strain. Makes me wonder if theres some symbolism about them he was referring to

As much as we want to think he was an unpopular monster, he wasnt. The people supported him.

And people still support the idea that some races should be imprisoned/deported/exterminated for the crime of having a different shade of skin tone or religion.

It was Jews then, its Muslims now.

It was not just Jews. It's was also trans people. And homosexuals. And Roma. And the disabled. And...

Also, any "alliance" they may have had with Muslims was purely pragmatic. They may not have had been targeted for systematic extermination (though how many were there in Germany at that time anyway?), but Nazi troops regularly committed atrocities against Soviet Muslims.

You get my point though?

I get what you're saying, but I think you meant Palestinians, not Muslims. US is in bed with some Muslim countries and much of Palestine is christian. Muslim is not a race, it's the world's largest religion spanning across all races and continents.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Let's be realistic. Deep down, they hate all Muslims. They just find some are allies of convenience.

See Zia Yusuf in the UK. He thinks he'll be protected if Reform get into power. He is either incredibly naive or he just doesn't want to believe they're all a bunch of bigots. They barely try to hide it.

Last week the likes of Matt Goodwin and Robert jenrick were losing their shit over the fact that Mohammed was the most popular name for male babies last year.

Completely glossing over the fsct that the other 9 from the top 10 were traditional English names that when combined massively outnumbered the top 1.

Dislike is not comparable to genocide. I dislike all religions, including Judaism (Jews) and Muslims. That does not mean I'd personally do something, I just avoid it/disregard it/dismiss it.

While I'd probably protest any form of Islamification (sharia law) in my country, that does not imply I'm against Palestine. It's just vastly different region. It's safe to assume they'd protest against European values.

I presume you've seen the alt-right marches that have happened around the world throughout the years?
