Reminder that there were just as many — in some cases more — nazis in west Germany's government after WW2 than during the third reich.More Nazis in West Germany's justice department after WWII than during Third Reich

Fully 77 percent of senior ministry officials in 1957 were former members of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party, a higher proportion even than during the 1933-45 Third Reich, the study found.

Nazis in post-WW2 Germany's government

From 1949 to 1973, 90 of the 170 leading lawyers and judges in the then-West German Justice Ministry had been members of the Nazi Party.

Of those 90 officials, 34 had been members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), Nazi Party paramilitaries who aided Hitler's rise and took part in Kristallnacht, a night of violence that is believed to have left 91 Jewish people dead.

One of my former coworkers married the daughter of one of nazi Wehrmacht generals. The dude literally was "rehabilitated" in whats basically an American citizenship class course then set free after he could name like 20 presidents and went on to become one of the high judges of West germany.

The NSDAP lost the war but won the peace. There was no ideological or political break between Nazi germany and post-war Nazi Germany, they're the same political entity with different stationary.

West Germany, or as we like to call it here at Hexbear The Fourth Reich.

Holy shit the Business Insider article's first illustration is a Berlin Wall picture even if the article is about a completely different area. If anything the content is an argument for building that wall lmao. I couldn't even make this up, death to the kkkapitalist media

I'm so sick of seeing these fake news/info producing twats/dorks with that same exact facial expression that these type of youtubers always make for some reason.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 33 points 2 months ago

Not exactly beating the soy face allegations lmao

[-] dkr567@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

It's as if they're literally programmed to make that face, nothing else

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

Probably a widespread cultural belief among youtoobers that the algo will promote the most extreme facial expressions.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

The algorithm was created by an AI that's only exposure to human faces was a VHS copy of The Mask

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

It's a known algorithm/click bait trick to put your face in the thumbnail. Videos with the creator's face is visible get more views than videos with just a voice over. It's created problems for non-white and/or "unattractive" creators because people are assholes. If I remember right, VideoGameDunkey Kong (or whatever his name is) is black and he probably got more views because he hid his ethnicity.

Isn’t the English human wojack reading the script for two South American libertarians?

Hot take: Germany instantly chilling out post-WW2 should be treated as a form of Holocaust denial.

Honestly, I believe alcohol is like the drug of reactionaries. I become less mindful when I get drunk, and fall back on lazy thinking. It's why I won't drink more than 1 or 2 in days I do. That and it's really not good for my stomach.

My vice of choice instead is weed. All the social lubrication, without the lost of mindfulness. Not a fast mind, but not a dull one, either. Just fucked up enough to relax.

[-] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Like it doesn't make you a reactionary, but I feel that drunk people are way more likely to say reactionary crap, because reactionary thinking is lazy at best.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

I think it simply lowers your inhibitions and allows the individual to more easily say what's on their mind, problem is that in a fundamentally liberal reactionary society those thoughts tend to err on the reactionary side

[-] Ithorian@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

When I get drunk I won't shut up about communism. I have a reputation at the local bar,

[-] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Don't let reactionaries appropriate the main drug of the western world :(

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Which world invented reactionaries, huh? That's right! ALCOHOLO!O!PO!!!

[-] dirtybeerglass@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

I love vodka like a true russian

[-] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

I don't think that has been working out very well for them.

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

I can relate to all of this and agree on a personal level but Joe Rogan and smurf-cursed are proof that you can be plenty reactionary on weed

[-] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Absolutely. I just think weed is not a drug that encourages people to become fascist. That may change as it is more accept by wider society, and capitalism continues to co-opt the industry.

The Revacholian State will be a serene place. (You should get a drink.) A beautiful, serene place of mystery and peace. It will not be a place for women to infect with their frailty and hysterics. Or where the Semenese will be allowed to wear their pants around their ankles. All of that will go. (Once you get a drink.) The socialist professors at the École Supérieure will be fired, the editors of Trompe le Monde will have to beg in the streets. You'll pour your beer into their begging hats and laugh. (You should get a beer.)

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

I blocked every channel with this dumb fuck British twat. I'll post the list for BlockTube users later when I'm not phone posting in bed.

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

I used to watch Simon Whistler long ago, but I think that when I started culling my subscriptions he was one of the first to go. His channels are more clearly just pseudo-intellectual slop than even a lot of other channels in the niche of pseudo-intellectual slop. The same goes for Thoughty2.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ok here I am! I'm back at my desk.

I have over 100 channels blocked and most of it is chuds. These were just the channels for this particular dipshit.

The GDR is one of hte great tragedies of the 20th century, really.

I thought you were implying the only people who aren't Nazis in Germany are alcoholics for a moment
