jowling kowling has reached the holocaust denial stage of (CW: transphobia)

She's probably operating under the assumption that trans people were invented in 2016.

I think the terf logic here is that it's slightly more socially acceptable to just erase trans people than to be outright on the side of nazis? Posy Parker doesn't seem to mind either way lol, but also the cultural awareness of queer people as holocaust victims still seems new and relatively small, so perhaps they see it as a defensible hill to die on.

she's reposted a thread someone very normal made about how Magnus was actually in cahoots with the nazis because he was such a eugenics fanboy, or something

Yep, liberals conveniently forget that leftists, slavs and POC were exterminated by the Third Reich in just as great/or greater numbers for the delusion of "lebensraum" (it's not a competition, but what I mean is that it's basically forgotten and ignored by liberal's history)

Rewriting What Was: Distorting Pastor Niemoller’s Words

Yet at the Holocaust museum and elsewhere, the word “Communist” has been dropped, replaced with “socialists,” as though Niemoller had written so, though he did not (for in 1945, even anti-communists recognized that communists were targets of fascism). This might seem like a quaint point in our post-Cold War time. Perhaps the change was made by those who fear the word might “confuse” those who equate Communism with fascism, Nazi Germany with the Soviet Union, thereby ignoring a truth, also widely accepted in 1945 and not by the left alone, the intimate connection between fascism and capitalism. Although “socialists” might seem to simply indicate a more commonly recognized left radicalism, its use removes the specificity of Niemoller’s original. Distortion, after all, distorts meaning.

The change in language contributes to the sense that social conflicts past and present are morality plays: good people on one side, bad people on the other, and never the twain shall meet. The air of self-satisfaction embedded in such simplifications reduces political questions then to an easily ignored morality, much like the Christian injunction to “love thy neighbor,” repeatedly uttered without context by those whose deeds condemn countless to hunger, illness and the ravages of war (unlike Martin Luther King’s same use of that phrase which had meaning for it was always and explicitly tied to context and content).

...

The pattern of developments noted above was familiar to Niemoller and others of his generation. The attacks on Communists, Social Democrats, unions, attacks on working-class institutions and communities, led each to be isolated. This was interwoven with attacks on populations (Jews, later Roma, Slavs, the disabled, gays and others) that were even more vulnerable. In the process, civil liberties were lost (including liberty of conscience) which finalized his fate and that of may others who spoke up too late.

...

But when “communists” are removed by those who otherwise quote Niemoller as he wrote because they are “unwanted” victims, then a sign is given of a partial solidarity that fails the test of solidarity altogether. Perhaps an analogy can be made when defenders of vulnerable populations ignore the plight of a vulnerable population closer to hand – such as those who are (or have been) in prison, for it means the support that is given is itself contingent upon impression and circumstance. Moreover, eschewing Communists as victims is part of the process of separating defense of liberties — freedom of speech, assembly, press — from active use of liberties to create more social justice, to make use of democracy to advance popular power, social justice, and freedom through equality. Niemoller never abandoned his rejection of anti-Communism, even when it quickly resurfaced in Germany during his lifetime.

I use that as making a point when discussing propaganda. Asking people how many died in the Holocaust , most of the time you get the answer 6 million. Pointing out why they forgot the other 6 million usually makes people think.

99% of burger education is "the jews". I had to wait u til senioe year of high school when a teacher flippantly said "yeah they gassed the gays and crippled too"

Pest removal doesn’t count as genocide imo, but otherwise agree and would encourage you to go further. :Starmer:

I do for sure. And I do support a quick death, but... I have thought about reeducation. However the reeducation would be something like forced mushroom trips or something, basically retrain the brain to feel empathy and forcibly make them feel mental anguish, if only because when I've spent the time thinking about it, they're a nihilist and death is simply too easy to grant a nihilist. Or turn them into a thinking feeling vegetable ala One from Metallica. Like even rip out the teeth so they can't even bite, and they can be a weird human sex toy pillow thing(yeah... It was really really weird, it was on some hentai artists page, found it while trying to find some of the artists milder stuff on Reddit...)

This is my messed up 'how could we be worse to them than they've been to humanity' take though. Feel free to steal, don't give me any credit please lmao.

That's when you gotta take it to the

that's because holocaust denial should be met with lethal violence

Not one more word tonight

Between here and there

it’s some terf’s actual human hair styled into a portrait of their favourite bigot author

Hirschfield seems like he was a cool dude but it always bugs me that there are so many famous CISGENDER MEN in the history of trans people :/

Okay, but that was just scary foreigners hating England for its freedom.

yes, they're saying "why do you agree with the nazis about trans people?" and she goes "the nazis didn't burn books or kill trans people!"

fake dril tweet edited from something a different comedian said about kanye

dril is one of the few things I miss from Twitter

nah she doubles down in the replies.

Yes I think she got baited into denying an element of Nazi Germany, still funny though
