[–] cybersin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) A geographical region is not uniform in it's beliefs. You can dislike an area without claiming everyone who lives there is evil. It is idiotic (and fascistic) to say that the ENTIRE population of an ENTIRE geographic region are ALL demons. It's simply not true. If you grew up in the south, you are literally self-deprecating by saying such things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) 'We can't be mad at nazis because there might be some good ones.' I think Putin used that line about Russians when he invaded Ukraine too. I escaped the south, and it was incredible, like fleeing Somalia, many others did the same. That's the problem, you see, all the decent humans are desperate to leave and the ones who do are happy. Which just evolves the south further and further down into its own shit. I don't care if there is a minority of decent southerners, just like I don't care if there were decent officers in the wehrmacht while the SS battalions rounded up jews for the ovens. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cybersin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago like fleeing Somalia, many others did the same. Those with the ability and money can leave, but some don't have these things. So what about them? Does that make them evil? I don't care if there is a minority of decent southerners, just like I don't care if there were decent officers in the wehrmacht Because a fisherman who happens to live where they were born, is the same as soldier who chose to join an army with very explicit political goals. Nonsense. permalink fedilink source parent
