  • I think you have a pretty big typo at the end of your first paragraph.

    But I agree with you, I hate that sub, and I don't understand how people can stomach watching that as entertainment/a passtime. To me just watching videos of people being killed (no matter who they are) inevitably leads to dehumanization. Like, I'm glad Nazis were killed during WW2 but I don't spend my day searching for pictures or videos of dead nazis.

    I have a coworker who's Jewish and has absolutely terrible political takes, he seems down this week, but I haven't tried asking why because I am not sure how I will react to his shit. I don't think anyone has mentioned what's going on because everyone at work (tech company) lives in their own little world.








  • Equating Nazi symbolism with Soviet ones just feels like such a weird thing to do, there's a reason Nazi symbols are banned in several (if not a majority) of European countries, but is not the case at all when it comes to soviet symbols. I think it's specially disappointing because the image that was originally shared was a reference to the "spectre" line in the communist manifesto. The hammer and sickle symbol has a long history that supersedes the history of the Soviet Union as a state, even my "third-world country" in Latin America (I'm sure you can see in the logs where I'm posting from) has a history of using the symbol for liberatory causes.

    That sucks, I was hoping it was some random mod from a random comm, but the only mod for meta is the lemm.ee admin. Looks like he lives in a country that had a complicated history with the Soviet Union.
