Holocaust denialism is censorship. It's an attempt to hide reality itself by controlling the narrative. If anything, outlawing holocaust denialism is anti-censorship, as it's helping ensure that Nazis won't be able to suppress the truth about what happened.

Someone claiming that outlawing holocaust denialism is censorship is trying to flip the script and overwrite reality (or just repeating someone else who is doing so, I guess). It's like saying "Hey! Stop censoring my attempt to censor others! This is censorship!" It's a mind game, an attempt at manipulation through deception. Look up the term DARVO: Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Offender. That's what saying "Outlawing holocaust denialism is censorship!" is: Reversing the Victim and Offender.

Lies and misinformation and other attempts to deceive and suppress the truth are not a form of free speech. Quite the opposite, they're what results when free speech remains unprotected.

Okay, fair enough. I think I'm still a little shellshocked from using Reddit for years. I'd like to see Lemmy work out in the long run so I'm taking a chance and writing, I don't know, like sincere efforts to spur discussion? It's not something I do on Reddit anymore because there are too many people trying to "defeat" posts instead of just honestly answering, or people who will say "Why don't you just Google it?" and act like they're doing you a favor by treating you like a halfwitted child, to say nothing of some of the genuinely unhinged shit that goes on over there... I mean, you're probably a Reddit refugee yourself so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I pretty much only lurk and occasionally shitpost at Reddit these days because it has so little value beyond that anymore.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I came across as harsh or overly defensive, I'm honestly trying to be better about that. Social media is really only as good as the people who use it, and I'm no exception.

Thanks for the link, shame about your copy but it's not the worst thing you could lose in a car accident, I hope at least it didn't suffer long

I don't know if I've ever seen an online discussion on this particular subject before.

Back in the 90s, there were a number of "Tribute Albums", compilation albums where a record label would reach out to a bunch of bands, usually lesser known bands, to each record a cover of a song by some popular and influential band. The two albums I had back in the day were Surprise Your Pig: A Tribute to R.E.M., and Virus 100: A Tribute to Dead Kennedys, both released in 1992.

I really liked them for two reasons. One, it was fun to hear covers of already familiar songs being done in creative ways, as many of the bands sort of interpreted their chosen song a bit. Like King Missile's cover of "Get Up" being performed with a very prominent electronic keyboard and an additional verse being added, or Nomeansno performing "Forward to Death" a cappella. And two, it introduced me to more obscure bands that I likely wouldn't have otherwise discovered in those days, like Steel Pole Bath Tub (who had a song on both albums, their rendition of "Chemical Warfare" is amazing but their version of "We Walk" was a, uh, interesting choice).

Flash forward several years and the Internet now has Wikipedia and Discogs and several means of obtaining music, and I revisited these albums and came to discover that there were several such albums released. Like, I wouldn't have a complete list of all of these albums I've since discovered, because there were a lot and the trend continued into the 2000s and (as far as I know) this is still a thing that happens.

I will mention one other that I discovered very recently: it's called Another Damned Seattle Compilation, it's from 1991, and it's a bunch of Seattle bands covering songs by The Damned. And, although the whole thing isn't made up of grunge bands, there are a lot of grunge bands on it. I think the most famous grunge band here is Mudhoney ("Stab Your Back") and there's Skin Yard ("Machine Gun Etiquette"), Coffin Break ("Love Song"), Love Battery ("I Just Can't Be Happy Today"), Hammerbox ("New Rose"), and Gruntruck ("Nasty"). I know most people have never heard of any of those bands but for those of you who fall into the incredibly niche category of fans of both The Damned and the early grunge (and Seattle music) scene, it's an amazing find.

Anyway, I'm open to other recommendations, including albums that aren't from the 90s. There are also compilation albums like the Before You Were Punk series, where a bunch of punk bands would cover 80s pop songs, similar concept.

Yeah, I kind of figured. Like, just the fact that it's a band from that scene is a pretty big red flag. It's not really my kind of music anyway tbh I just like the cover.

Mr. Blackheart?

Myees my pretty?

Are you an ivory dealer?

Oh ho ho ho, I've had lots of jobs. Whale hunter. Seal clubber. President of the FOX network. And yeah, like most people, I've dealt a little ivory.

It's from the episode where the family goes on vacation to the Flanders' lake house in that town with the absurdly long name that I don't remember and Lisa starts dressing differently and makes a group of new friends, one of whom is Christina Ricci. I think it was the seventh season, I don't recall the title.

EDIT: Sorry I might not have followed the rules here correctly, I am stoned. The joke is that Marge says "I'm never gonna let you go" or something like that to Maggie because Lisa is trying to be independent or something, and Maggie is worried because her mom is being clingy.

EDIT 2: Sorry again, I actually took a look at this, uh, sublemmy's other posts and it appears that I was actually supposed to respond with a quote from the episode. So like, you know, whatever.

Yeah Spotify sucks, I just recently deleted my account entirely. The only thing I liked about it was making playlists. Then one day I had a Fuck This Shit moment and decided I was done.

I have a collection of digital albums that is far better than anything I could get at Spotify, lol
