interesting, in the US neo-nazis going to police stations is just called commuting

[-] FundMECFS@piefed.zip 19 points 5 days ago

Yeah please don’t believe the Austrian police are magically free of neo-nazis…

[-] xtools@programming.dev 4 points 3 days ago

More like the cops made their pilgrimage site their base.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 32 points 5 days ago

De-Nazification is such a fucking lie.

The surviving leadership of the Nazi Party was grafted directly onto NATO and to the extended network of fascist US/UK business interests that continued to dominate the West at the end of the war.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

Hitler took the idea of manifest destiny from the Americans murdering the native population (great job Pete protecting their medals cause that’s all you have on your fucking calendar today), used it on Europe, then we Paperclipped their nerds to build better rockets…it’s been racist and fascist in the air for a long time now but it most certainly was not just ze Germans

Pretty much all of American history taught in schools is either a lie or heavily edited

converting hitler's birthplace to a police station?

something something some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 46 points 5 days ago

"Neo Nazis used to make pilgrimages to Hitler's birthplace. Now they work there!"

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago

The fuck? I would have bulldozed it a long time ago and built a waste processing plant.

[-] realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 7 points 5 days ago

Bulldozing a perfectly good house build hundreds of years ago in the middle of a city might be the dumbest idea you could have.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Can't believe they ruined a perfectly good piece of statuary like that. What a waste! People in the 1940s were such morons.

But what if it's a cursed house, and produces a dictator every 150 years or some shit? /s

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 5 days ago

Plus, Nazis would still make the pilgrimage to an empty lot.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

It was being used as a care home.

TIL everything that was in todays newspaper. I always figured the TIL-format was mostly for things that you could've learned before, but only just learned today. Peculiar little known facts.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

Only the police station is new. I would have never expected that hitler's birth home was still standing.

should have sold it to a jewish group to build a synagogue.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 30 points 5 days ago

That would have inspired hate crimes.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago

good be a good honeypot though. Keep it under survellence. get them out of the population.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 9 points 5 days ago

I mean, it was housing disabled people before. That's just as good

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Yes and no. Living in a care hone with Nazis showing up at your door can't be all that relaxing. As long as they pay to relocate that, it's a better idea IMO.

Don’t give the police any ideas…

[-] bagsy@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

A bulldozer is another great option.

[-] daggermoon@piefed.world 13 points 5 days ago

It's a perfectly good building. Why destroy a home because an evil person lived there?

[-] fizzle@quokk.au 12 points 5 days ago

If I lived in a suburb and nazis were always coming to visit whatever thing I would want to dismantle that thing to stop the nazis coming.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

They would still come and leave memorials. Making it a police station is daring them to still do it and see how quickly they get arrested.

Why didnt they bulldoze it instead?

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 days ago

The empty lot would likely still become a place of pilgrimage for these chucklefucks.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

then we could bulldoze the chucklefucks. we could be sneaky like that

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

I like the cut of your jib!

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

What's a jib

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

"Be vewwy quiet, I'm bulldozing chuds"

Attempts to quietly start D9

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

They are. Then building the station. They are even hiding the rubble.

[-] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 6 points 4 days ago

Should paint a big 'free Hitler memorabilia inside' sign, and then inside is just a deep fucking pit.

Can we get a rule about not posting current news?

Agreed, TIL is becoming current events.

Shame it's in the middle of a neighborhood. If it was a farmhouse out in the country, I would have suggested turning it into a sewage lagoon.

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

So they explicitly chose to legitimise said pilgrimages.

The only acceptable use is as a gender neutral public toilet block.

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

I suggest a multiplex consisting of a synagogue, a disability benefits office, and a transgender healthcare clinic.

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
