[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) So, no one bothers to learn lessons from history any more...? Hmmm. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 child) Issue is, they just change a few bits around to fool the people that are uneducated about the subject. I'm from Hungary, and one history teacher of mine taught me that Nazis did things for the sake of being evil, one other said "it was a punishment for the Jews killing Jesus". Once you associate bigotry with being evil, any dumb rationale can make it look not evil in the eyes of these people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] illi@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago it was a punishment for the Jews killing Jesus This is peak logic. Glorify Jesus becasue "he died for our sins" but demonize Jews for killing him... Bitch, if they didn't kill him you lack key aspect of your religion! permalink fedilink source parent [–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) They think history is based and also lies and also rad as hell and should definitely be repeated. But that bad mustache man should win this time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago It doesn't help at all that history is rewritten all the time and is provably inaccurate at least in detail in a lot of cases. I'm not a holocaust denier or saying the Nazis are any better than what history shows them, but I also can't in good faith say that history is written in stone while southern US states are banning books right and left and making taboo teaching subjects. I've seen pushes in some areas that try to eliminate slavery and push the indentured servant narrative wide enough to cover all slavery. permalink fedilink source parent
