Also, it's not that relevant but as far as I know it was never described officially as a rave for "peace". Even old promotional material doesn't.

They described it as "a journey of unity and love" as well as, I quote, a celebration of "friends, love and infinite freedom".

A celebration of infinite freedom a few hundred meters from an open air prison

yea

Sleepy Biden repeated that they were music goers celebrating peace like 3 times.

Unrelated, but I went to take a look at the speech he did; I rarely hear Biden speak in general as I'm in the EU, and jesus christ he's gotten worse since the last time I heard him. He looks like he's physically in pain and it's taking all his will to properly read the words out.

And illegal drugs no doubt

To anyone who has ever been to a rave before, this is usual raver selling chatter. As much as I generally enjoy EDM and all of it's accompanying genres, I genuinely dislike the universal adoption of the superfluous language that was originally used to encourage people to come out and dance in areas that were considered 'abandoned' and 'condemned' to music made by people who were considered the castoffs of society. It all rings hollow when it is just rich kids at a club sponsored by a weapons manufacturer.

It's one of my favorite parts of Disco Elysium, but as much as we want to separate the dance from reality, the dance still exists there.

If it was random, not-explicitly-nazi germans who were having a picnic outside Auschwitz and got merked by escaped prisoners, I'd still be like "yeah maybe you weren't soldiers, but "

They were just peaceful lebensraum settlers.

Ultimately I would still say the blame is to be laid 100% on the regime that put people in the concentration camps, not the people who escaped from them.

I hate how they keep framing this as "omg peaceful party-goers just massacred by savage orcs!" totally side-stepping all of the history that's lead up to this day and why this attack happened.

History only begins when the bad guys decide to do an evil

everyone keeps telling me how bad I'm supposed to feel for these people. I really don't at all, maybe if you're partying a few miles from a concentration camp you deserve to be fuckin killed. people are pretending like this a new thing, musicians and performers have for decades refused to perform in Israel exactly for this reason.

This "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" is going really fucking hard right now. All it would take is to not tolerate intolerance and not put a timeline on someone else's freedom and you could have good foreign policy. Millions of people die for bullshit. It's fucking bullshit. And what do we get in return? Cheap plastic? Rush hour traffic? What the fuck???

Get past censors, likely. At least enough to dodge some bots.

Auschwitz was a literal death camp. Stop normalizing the Shoa

[-] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

this is the animal zoo for the SS children at KZ buchenwald , dehumanization is a central issue.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

What the fuck literally in view of the place where they burned bodies?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

yes , they didnt mind ...

thats what you need to understand about the rave attendees , they are only there because they didnt mind..

Israel learned one thing from the Holocaust: You can get away with it if you do it really slowly.

Thank you. I'm not Jewish but it pisses me off when people downplay or try to normalize the holocaust. You show a kid those bodies stacked like cordwood and I guarantee their first question wouldn't have anything to do with ethnicity or religion or anything like that. They'd want to know why all those people are dead and who killed them.
