I am just noticing that Unruffled proposed to refederate Lemmygrad to dbzer0. The people who upvoted aren't a surprise. What is sad is the db0 was one of the upvoters and this was nine months ago.

It loses the fun alliteration, but we’re gonna have to change it from the “Tankie Triad” to the “Tankie Quintad”

Opening their account and get hit with

Tankies blame the SPD for the death of Karl Liebknecht.

Like??? yeah??? Wer hat uns verraten??? Wer wars denn nun?

edit: since this comment got linked might as well tell you all to fucking read "The german revolution" by Pierre Broue and here the thread where Emopunker took every chance to confirm that fedditors are required by law to be zionists.

    That would require a moment of self-reflection, which is like pulling teeth to people like this

    They certainly are not, bringing up nutomic to deflect (despite his opinions clearly not impacting moderation here) and blaming secret hexbear infiltrators rather than reflect on why they find themselves surrounded by people like that.

    @TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org the people you hang out with are fine with calling trans women degenerate roaches and receive no moderation in that space

    why are you surprised when that attracts people who think misgendering is okay?

    "We don't support transphobia here, except we are currently supporting transphobia"

    Hey @TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org kindly go fuck yourself. You're a transphobe who posts in a Nazi table community.

    You keep getting so angry at people documenting your actions in the Nazi bar, and your words being used against you.

    Maybe just remove the posts while also starting a harassment campaign like your admin buddies? You'll feel guilt free for it, like before.

    like clockwork, they finally caught a rule 1 (temp) instance ban and there's a cm0000002 post rending their garments about how it's "bigotry" to speak ill of lemmy.ml.

    like bruh the rule 1 ban is probably more related to this activity. the i report i made probably just showed up for the .ml admins too:

    Two things can be true at once! Just because the banned user was a transphobe who deserved the ban, that in no way lessens the absolute travesty of injustice of banning them! In fact, it's worse to ban people who deserve bans, somehow!

    They never let a little thing like reality get in the way of their two-minutes hate, do they?

    I think nearly any discussion of 1920s Germany at this point is getting lost in the sauce. I don't think anything about that context carries any weight with most people outside of internet political forums. Even if you educate someone about the context and convince them your take on it is correct, you still have to climb the mountain of "and how does that relate to today?" And while there are some parallels, there are a lot of enormous differences.

    If someone brings up Weimar Germany, the best response is usually "cool, back to Iran/Palestine/ICE..." rather than jumping down into the weeds with them.

    disagree, the war credits debate that led to the split is almost beat for beat like the pissrael funding and the fallout should tell people why people need to split the dem party. Or applied to germany the rearmament movement and eu-army sentiments that are springing up left and right.

    Edit: we again have a pre-revolutionary russia, europes contradictions sharpening and eyeing an attack to the east, we are gonna see a repeat of the tragedy of the 1910s (as a farce?) and better know about the fallout like luxemburg said

    Friedrich Engels once said: “Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism.” [...] In this war imperialism has won. Its bloody sword of genocide has brutally tilted the scale toward the abyss of misery. The only compensation for all the misery and all the shame would be if we learn from the war how the proletariat can seize mastery of its own destiny and escape the role of the lackey to the ruling classes.

    emphasis me

    Even if you educate someone about the context and convince them your take on it is correct

    Because we're skipping past this part to the "here's how it's relevant to today" part, I want to again emphasize that educating someone about the internal party dynamics of the Weimar Republic and convincing them your take is correct is a herculean task in its own right. This is reasons 1-100 of why delving into this topic is a poor way of convincing anyone of anything.

    But assume you've educated me on all the context and I agree with you about who's at fault for what in 1920s Germany. When trying to apply that to today you still run into huge points of disagreement like:

    • That was a parliamentary system and we have just two parties, right? Doesn't that change the "split the party" discussion quite a bit?
    • What about all the ballot access issues that would come with splitting from Democrats?
    • If we're successful splitting from Democrats, can't they just run in our primaries like we occasionally run in theirs? There isn't a way to expel people from parties in the U.S. the way there is in European parties, right?
    • Was there a huge lobby on one side of the war credits debate that exists in parallel with a huge imperial interest in an overseas colony?
    • Germany had just lost a devastating war in its front yard. The U.S. doesn't have anything like that today, right?
    • Germany had its colonies stripped away after WWI while they U.S. is the premier imperial power of today. Doesn't that change a lot?
    • Weren't the conditions of the average German worker far different from the conditions of the average U.S. worker today? How comparable is a guy driving an Uber to a guy in a factory?

    The comparison adds more complexity rather than clarifies, and it opens up a dozen theoretical rabbit holes to get lost in.

    I guess I see your point, I was reading it as a german with a german perspective and leo-point might as well be a pitcure of me while reading it (I never got around to finish it sadly). Although a lot of people probably will not agree with me that the parallels are as self-evident I guess.

    Also just to clarify the book starts in the 1910s and goes through WW1 up until 1923, not that it makes a difference for your point.
