Isnt that sam smith’s song? Dancing with a nazi
Turns out he was just playing in a WWII movie
Meanwhile bro on his way to a reenactment of The producers: Springtime for Hitler: The musical
This is every fucking conversation I have with my right leaning friends at this point.
Cut them off.
Please yes, isolate yourself for the cult
The cult of… Anti-nazis?
Genius.
No no no you don’t understand. It’s the cult of people who call anybody who does a weird salute or mildly dislikes Jewish people or brown people and wants to declassify women as people with rights as a Nazi. Don’t you see it’s both sides that are extremist. You’re just giving in to left wing propaganda…
~the centrist point of view
I mean really they are all fascists so really it would be some kind of anti-fascist movement.
🤔
Normalizing fascism.
The sooner we accept we’ve reached that stage, the sooner we can do something about it.
I’m not holding my breath.
Start calling them Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, to start.
Honestly, the simple act of doing that has calmed a lot of the dissonance in my brain.
It was literally the nazis who got centrists to “water-down” the word nazi.
They’re still working on it.
Intentional Stonetoss expression at the end?
Right? The guy’s nose disappears, it’s gotta be intentional
I was thinking the same thing
I’m glad I’m not the only one! It’s so good!
Gentlemen gentlemen that’s just a actor on his way to a show.
He’s just into war reenactment and also expressing that his heart went out to him (/s).
This kind of reminds me of this old skit https://youtu.be/PxS1H7oqrSI
heart went out
That cold, shriveled, thorny accessory organ flew across the room at match speed and took someone’s eye out.
There was no way we could tell he was a Nazi 😔
Who amongst us hasn’t mistakenly made what looks like a Nazi salute, twice, in front of a crowd whilst doing a speech, been wrongfully interpreted as an AfD supporter after having said “I support the AfD” or made posts claiming that Jews do bad things which were unfairly seen as antisemitic?
It could happen to anybody!
/s
I’m a little worried about the distraction this is causing, distraction away from taking real action that can help. Like, felon and nazi are real and useful predictive attributes, but we kind of already knew some of that.
I feel like a better focus would be on taking action - donation, volunteerism, things your class valedictorian would do - to counter actual harmful or evil changes that are made in actual legislation. It sucks to have to prop up things that make America actually great ourselves because narrow minded politicians cut public funding. But to keep these things alive, we have to step up.
We already made our predictions known. Deep down we already know this isn’t convincing anybody new. The next step is taking action. Local non-profits want to hear from you. If it’s a cause that you think might be threatened, and you care about it, you might be able to help.
My Lemmy blocklist has literally tripled since yesterday lol.
If we keep going, we can make this an echo chamber yet!
Kinda weird that its only an echo chamber when it leaves out the right.
I don’t know where you got that opinion from. An echo chamber is an echo chamber and I think it’s a shame regardless of which flavour it is.
I’m here for open debate and freedom of expression, knowing that will mean having to see and read things I don’t like every now and again.
If other people want to block other users up to the point there’s no one else that has a different opinion to them, then they absolutely can do that but I thinks it’s just being an ostrich that sticks it’s head in the sand.
Enlightened centrist?
I consider my self a lefty, but I think it’s important to consider all points of view, especially when I disagree with them.
That is good, but what value do they bring?
If nothing else, it’s practice for the next time you hear it, you can workout your arguments against it.
You can consider the nazi point of view (do you really need to though?) without defending nazis’ right to spew their bullshit.
And let’s face it, even if lemmy was 100% leftists, the rest of the world is fascist as fuck so it’ll never be an echo chamber.
The only speech I don’t defend is hate speech. Everything else must be fair game, no matter how much I personally don’t like it or how much I disagree.
Aaaand blocked. Keep fellating Trump and Musk
I don’t like Trump or Musk, I just keep my head when all else about are losing theirs.
Enjoy your echo chamber, must be nice when there’s no-one that has a different opinion or disagrees with you.
“You just don’t like people with different opinions about what types of humans should be eradicated. Not me, willing to have all sorts of conversations about ranking people in terms of who is subhuman.”
I think there’s a difference between blocking people that use hate speech and blocking those who you simply disagree with but I don’t know why I keep bothering to try explaining myself.
Enjoy your echo chamber, must be nice when there’s no-one that has a different opinion or disagrees with you.
So how I feel about this depends somewhat on which platform I’m on, but why do some try to paint it as a virtue to allow ourselves to be surrounded by toxicity?
I can be aware of what is happening in the world and engaged with people who have different opinions than I have without having to let them pollute the places where I just want to be able to exist without harassment and assholery. I can also make different decisions about how insular I want to be on one platform vs another. I don’t have to let those people into my life, and I frankly find it kind of offensive when folks suggest that I or others are somehow missing out by not letting them in.
No one should feel obligated to let themselves be the target of hateful rhetoric or comments that hurt them or bring negativity into their lives. Choosing to allow that is a valid choice, but it’s not necessarily a healthy one, and choosing not to allow it is a reasonable choice for people to make for themselves for the sake of their own health or happiness.
what does this guy have against nazi’s?
The nazi’s what?
that’s what
He can nazi what the other guy’s saying.
ah bc he hates jews
I have changed nothing, and like a lightswitch every fucking post in almost every goddammit community seems to be about nazis and us politics to some new extreme degree.
Jesus fucking christ. Doomscrolling and endlessly worrying about it all is fucking toxic as shit. It is what it is. If people are so concerned and think it needs to change then get off the fucking phone and go DO something about it, or stop posting this kind of shit.
Gets so fucking old so fast.
Well, go do something about the Nazis and people will stop talking about them. If you want a feed to the world outside of your head, thay means dealing what what everyone else is talking about.
You can always just go jerk off in the shower and STFU about it
I have changed nothing,
Yeah, it’s almost like this isn’t about you. It’s almost like it’s about a major world power openly embracing fascism and neo nazis.
Get off the internet if it bothers you.
Found the 1930s era German that said “it is what it is”.
Sometimes I can’t understand why I’m so joyless and cynical, then I read some of the comments on Lemmy and feel a lot better about myself!

There’s always that one commenter, eh.
