It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Germany is wild because it's still infested with nazis and yet they have all these anti-nazi laws which do nothing and the people end up supporting fascists in Israel.

[–] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 59 points 11 months ago (3 children)

a big chunk of the german left is part of the "antideutsch" movement/ideology, whatever you want to call it
the gist of them is that they "compensate" for the horrors of nazi germany by being against the existence of the german state, and also extremely pro-israel

[–] edge@hexbear.net 63 points 11 months ago (1 children)

against the existence of the german state

Based.

and also extremely pro-israel

Very not based.

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

kinds of people that make monarchists wanting 200 year old german principalities back seem reasonable

[–] daisy@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

This is why I shed no tears for any aristocracy that gets Romanov'd.

Has anyone tried telling them that supporting another genocide won't wash their hands of the Holocaust?

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 26 points 11 months ago

That's for their grandchildren to worry about.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

They’re doing the George Michael move where they throw out a banana to compensate for stealing a dollar from the cash register. They think it balances the ledger, but it’s actually doubling the debit

Allowing the common understanding of racism to be reduced to mere form, ie vulgar language and overt discrimination, has been disastrous for the real gains made in the late 20th century.

We gotta first of all enforce some standards for antifascist movements. As great as it is to build large numbers, it’s meaningless if there is no well defined, unifying ideology. I bet a lot of these “antifa” in Germany would not give a coherent definition of fascist.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 31 points 11 months ago

Allowing

Didn't happen in a vacuum.

"fascism is when not democracy. democracy is when private ownership of property."

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They have anti-Nazi laws and then pass billion euro funding bills to give heavy weaponry and training to Nazis. Most coherent Westoid nation. Germany is going to have the most convoluted contradictions when the western world goes outright, openly fascist since they have been conditioned to be ashamed of their Nazi past while being proud of their Nazi present.

[–] zephyreks@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Germany is ok with fascism, they just got caught once and have to be a bit more careful

“Anti-semitic society demands jews stay in the middle east and not come back and make a rightful claim for reparations for past atrocities”

What the fuck is radical about the status quo lol

Americans facing some stiff competition in "most propagandized people on earth"

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

naw, they cant touch us

usa is wild with how propagandized we are other countries arent even in the same league

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At least we have an anti-Zionist left and can have pro-Palestine marches. Germans are utterly cucked

When you feel so remorseful for your country's wrongdoings that you want to lick the boots of the country that inspired those wrongdoings.

[–] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I feel like implying that jews or isfaek "inspired" the nazis is a pretty bad way to phrase that.

[–] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 26 points 11 months ago

I meant the other flag present at these "protests". Anti-deutsch are Americanophiles.

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

The whole "remorse" thing isn't real. It's just used as a cover for political intentions.

The very chud people oppose it, because it symbolizes that German state being submissive or whatever (and antisemitism)

Liberals (the politicians, not random Bozos off the street) use it to enforce the interests of the German state and keep allies happy and business running,while holding onto the mythology of not being Nazi Germany anymore.

Antideutsche use it to denote opposition to foreigners while holding onto mythology of opposing antisemitism within leftist groups (which was partially a thing in the 60s, 70s and 80s)

[–] Buchenstr@hexbear.net 56 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Take a look at those pictures, every single one of them are white.

These guys are the 'anti-germans', while they're against things like nationalism or nazism, they're still racialists, hiding away their racist views by masquerading as 'leftist', people seem to forget many socdems were racist pieces of shit, and these guys are just the same.

Fuck anti-germans, and anyone who shills for them.

NATO leftists strike again. Whether it's the "anarchists" of today or the Trotskyists of yesterday, they're always lurking and pretending to be against the Imperial powers before falling right in line with them.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 49 points 11 months ago

Can't call yourself a leftist and support an imperial ethnostate, sorry

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 45 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

amerikkka "Germany. Apologize for the holocaust."

"No." germany-cool

amerikkka "Germany, if you apologize, we'll help fund an ethnostate and settler-colony for European zionists. They will commit genocide against Palestinians and make surplus value flow from the MENA region to Europe."

".... I am so so so sorry I did the holocaust. Please believe me." germany-cool

I’d nearly forgotten about that one:
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago (1 children)

and biden is boosting his message by spreading misinformation about hamas beheading babies and other such nonsense

[–] davel@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We need a complete shutdown of Representative Rashida Tlaib until our other Representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.

here in germany we call these people antids, their entire ideology comes down to defending israel and snorting cocaine, mixed with occasionally calling every real leftist a red fash

I knew a Portland Antifa girl who moved to Germany and became one of these people. She really had no principles, just liked to start drama in her affinity groups and attack “tankies” all the time. She had an extreme hatred of Russia and China and started crying and physically attacking me one time when I defended Russia’s operation in Ukraine.

It seems they've been a native species to Germany since at least 1845

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Apparently some "antifascist" groups in Germany were going to protest Neo Nazis, and some pro-Palestine groups planned on joining the "antifascist" groups but then they ended up cancelling the protest because the pro-Palestine groups were "antisemitic"

[–] Grimble@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

Somewhere a police chief is stuffing himself with krautslop and giggling about his genius plan

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

Specifically because the group "Young Struggle" (affiliated with the Turkish MLKP iirc) went "The events of October 7th? Based!" and persisted after being told to not show up.

[–] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

antideutsch, not even once

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

stalin-pipe come back pls

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

I must appologize for Germ-wu. We trained him wrong - as a joke.

[–] Timberknave@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

Wait til you hear those ""people""'s takes on trans people (when these trans people disagree with them)

[–] 1heCream@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

no wonder die linke exploded

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

Leipzig is the stronghold of Antideutsche and tbh it doesn't have much relevance to the split. Antideutsche are mostly a youth wing phenomenon.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Lovely to see this while muslims are being compared to cancer and the state has taken to raiding mosques.

Germany has an unquenchable thirst for genocide.
