I wonder where they learned it. liberalism

People really don't like it when you tell them that Manifest Destiny and Lebensraum influenced Zionism.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

One thing I never considered for a long time is how zionists always make the target of their dialogue Westerners; you would imagine the first people they need to talk to, to convince that their country deserves to exist, the first people they should prioritize for all their dialogue, would be their Middle Eastern neighbors, but I've realized all their dialogue is targeted at Westerners; their view of Arabs is truly no different than the settler colonizers' view of native Americans; they don't see them as people. Frankly if they were going to consider themselves a Western country they should've made their nation in Europe or seen what they could do about getting the US to cede some land to them (but then, there's strategic benefit to our government and the UK in creating a Western outpost in the Middle East).

It’s like an RPG where people buy cosmetics specifically to look as goofy as possible

Jacket: Apartheid State Flag Cape

This is just literally a big flag tucked into the neck of your shirt.

I know it would be very old-fashioned but to complete the outfit - she should have a blue and white nurses hat with a big Star of David.

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 74 points 10 months ago

Is it typical for a phlebotomist to wear an Israeli flag cape?

[-] Sinonatrix@hexbear.net 44 points 10 months ago

She has the honor of pre-splattering the flag in blood before it's used on the front lines

[-] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 58 points 10 months ago

Why do Germans get a unique name for their armed forces? Wehraboos? Actually better question, why didn't Germany get Article 9'd after the war? That's like one of the few good things the bastard MacArthur did.

Normalising it functions to make the nazi armed forces just sound like regular Germany, which is part of re-nazification.

Because they're white and the Japanese are not white.

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Because Germans speak.. a different language? "Luftwaffe" is not a proper noun, it's German for "Air Forces."

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

Personally, I would've just changed the name to something that wasn't used by the Nazis if I was in charge of West Germany after the war 🤔

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

As a German, I don't see the point of this. Luftwaffe literally means air weapon. This is like saying there shouldn't be a US army because 'army' is the name the confederation used for it's forces. It's not like Germany has a Schutzstaffel any more.

I would much rather have had denazification, but of course neither happened so...yay?

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

You could use a synonym like Luftstreitkräfte (or Luftstreitkraft, German Wikipedia seems to use both singular and plural and it's clear to me which one is correct) like the other comment suggests. To me, it just seems weird to still use the same terms as the Nazis, but it makes sense considering the whole ”no denazification” thing, I guess.

there shouldn't be a US army

I agree.

anakin-padme-2 You just mean the word army, right?

anakin-padme-3

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

I-was-saying there shouldn't be a US army

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

In GDR it was Luftstreitkräfte, for example.

[-] Mister_Bennet@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

So in English it would the German Airforce. Not the German Luftwaffe.

Would be like calling it the French Armée de l'Air.

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yep, pretty much. No reason to refer to it as such.

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

Well, one of the quirks of the German language is that every noun is a proper noun in a way, since you should capitalize the first letter of every noun. I'm sure that plays a part in why people think it is an actual proper name instead of just a noun.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

had to look it up so I might as well share:

"Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized."

—Article 9, The Constitution of Japan (1947)

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

land, sea and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained.

Well ackshually they’re technically American bases so they don’t count! Warmongering ok if we do it through Amerikkka!

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained.

Well that was a fucking lie.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

Come on, everybody knows the JSDF could never be used offensively! It's in the name!

[-] Civility@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago
[-] Frank@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

amerikkka needed the Nazis as hatchetmen for the cold war.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 45 points 10 months ago

I like how the FRG and the hitler ones are called the Luftwaffe, but the GDR one was the Luftstreitkräfte

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 28 points 10 months ago

Luftstreitkräfte was used by the Empire too.

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

and the weimar republic. seems like a more neutral term than the nazi one, plus nobody knows anything about imperial germany besides the kaiser stealing our word for "twenty"

That nurse with the gaudy flag is fuckin ridiculous

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

Faster than a fleeing Palestinian child. More powerful than a weeping mother. Able to leap corpse piles in a single bound.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a plane! It's an Israeli missile! It's Supergenocide!

[-] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Just when you think they can't get any more over the top melodramatic.

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

Whaaat the fuuuuck am I looking at with the fucking flag-cape and the Hitler-thumb? rust-darkness

[-] star_wraith@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

An uncanny resemblance to Goering.

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

...Well, dress for the job you want and not the one you have I guess? Does that still apply if the job you have is a perfectly respectable medical profession and the job you want is... whatever the fuck this is?
