    Modern nazis? Yes. They can all go fuck themselves.

    Historical nazis? Like the ones from the 1920s-1945? Maybe. I’m unclear how many of them knew what being nazis actually meant. Like, the average nazi soldier in some 1942 battle. Does he know about jews dying? Does he know the things the nazis stand for? I’m not saying yes or no, because I legit don’t know. I find it hard to believe that millions of soldiers all knew, and still went along with it.

    Now the SS? Oh, those assholes KNEW! They were far enough up the ladder that they knew exactly what was going on. They were the ones enforcing it.

    Same as the nazis who ran the camps.

    I read about this one guy who was basically the warden of one of those camps. Directly responsible for literally millions of dead jews in 4 years. They put him on trial at the Nuremburg trials, and he says he did nothing wrong. So they asked him if they threw him in that same oven, would that be wrong? He said no. Sooooo…that’s what they did. One of the last things he said was that it was ironic that the one who was to throw the switch on his death was Jewish.

    That’s not irony. That’s payback.

    The thing that NOBODY seems to understand, or maybe not willing to admit is, you CANNOT group people together.

    It’s the whole reason racism logically makes no sense. At all.

    “Oh, all those dirty (insert race here) are good for nothin! They’re all assholes!”

    And sure, regardless of what race you inserted there, there’s going to be some assholes. There’s also going to be some amazing people that you’re unfairly judging.

    And it’s not just races. It’s anything. Races, genders, religions, countries, social groups, book clubs, whatever.

    If you think all people of one group think the same on everything, you’re just factually wrong. And if you use that incorrect fact to judge that group, now you’re just an asshole.

    I’ve found that people th]?6ink judging people is bad, and wrong. I don’t think so. I think some people are just terrible at judging people, and miss the point of judging people. You’re supposed to judge them as an individual. Not as (insert group here).


  • I would say it’s been coming since BEFORE the civil war.

    People always take my words out of context when I say that life in general would have been better for everyone long term if the south won.

    People take that to mean that I’m pro-slavery. I’m not. If the south won, slavery would have died out naturally by the early 1900s (assuming confederate america lasted that long)

    But if the south had won, and been able to leave the union? I feel like they’d have made the worst possible choices for their country on a repeated basis. I feel like their country would have crumbled and disolved into multiple smaller countries. The united states would have continued expanding out west. Texas is probably the only former state that wouldn’t have crumbled.

    The rest of the confederate states? They’d be struggling to survive, last in the world in education, terrible healthcare, basically a bunch of 3rd world countries. But the rest of the USA? SO MUCH HEALTHIER FOR IT!!! All these cancers trying to tear down OUR country today, wouldn’t be part of our country. They can go fuck up the country of Alabama. Go nuts.

    The pure amount of butterfly effect policies that would be different is mind blowing.

    To me, the south winning isn’t about slavery. It’s about taking this large lump sum of the worst people in the country, and cutting them free like you cut away a tumor to get rid of cancer.






  • It astounds me that people who support linux get personally offended if you say you’re not sure linux is for you.

    I watched a video where a guy installed linux, and then installed a new desktop environment that caters to touchscreen. He got a bunch of errors. So he said “Ah, that’s alright! I’ll just bring up terminal”

    And then he types

    sudo add do willywop bojanga -l -r ♧¿¤☆▪︎●

    And I’m like “ok, hold on. How the fuck does he just KNOW that exact string is what will fix it???”

    If you don’t speak terminal, that shits confusing as hell.

    And now this story is like smokey the bear. “Only YOU can maintain wifi protocols. Seriously. I’m done. It’s just you now. The professionals are sick of this shit.”

    So it’s reasonable that non-techies are like “I had some issues before, but now I’ll have MORE issues if I comd back…I better stick with what I kjow works.”

    Meanwhile lemmy users are like “BOOO WINDOWS!!! BOOOO I SAY!!! WHY DON’T YOU JUST UNDERSTAND THE THINGS YOU DON’T GET???”

    And thus…you have downvotes for saying logically reasonable things that piss off obsessive types who would downvote each other over which distro is best.
