“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

Looks like a direct Nazi prison guard comparison to me

I mean... who knows what rattles in his empty skull. For me he's just rambling. It could be about Nazi guards or about Germans in general. He's basically trying to say "Hamas is just hate while in Germany there was also some basic human kindness". It's obviously bullshit but translating it to "nazis treated Jews with love" is taking it too far.

The Lemmy hivemind cares not for nuance.

That's why I have downvotes disabled :)

Oh, yes, the nuance of noted deep thinker Donald Trump.

How about the nuance of not letting this place turn into a reddit-like echo chamber and hub of disinformation spurred by clickbait headlines?

"I want this place that is designed exactly like reddit to be nothing like reddit."

Let me know how that works out for you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well then why are you even here if Reddit already exists?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because it's decentralized and part of the fediverse. Why are you here?

Looking for a better community/group of communities than Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

The community that reddit has isn't just a coincidence. It comes out of the design of the platform itself. Giving everybody the ability to post and vote encourages groupthink and clickbait.
