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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 58 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

[–] [email protected] 62 points 11 months ago (1 children)

against the existence of the german state

Based.

and also extremely pro-israel

Very not based.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

That's for their grandchildren to worry about.

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm expecting too much from these people, but I'm assuming they don't actually know anything about Zionism or about the history of the Israeli state and just assume they're being attacked by evil terrorists with no provocation, just like what the bourgeois media tells them. Even today there is very little actual information about the colonization of Palestine in history books, they usually portray the whole thing as a religious conflict/response to the holocaust. I do think that the Zionists are finally starting to lose control of the narrative though, thanks to social media.

I've got a 1930 Atlas in my house with the territory clearly marked as Palestine. No Israel to be seen. Weird for an ancient conflict lasting a bazillion years or whatever!

It even gives demographic statistics. Out of the nearly 1 million people in 1930 living in British Palestine, 800,000 are Muslim and the remaining 200,000 are a mix of Jewish, Christian and other minority groups. Wonder what happened to 80% of the area being muslim! Weird how "a land without a people" had a million people on it!

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

Allowing

Didn't happen in a vacuum.

[–] [email protected] 11 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

Germany, a country so historically into fascism even antifascists are fascists. And they're the least fascist in the country. Imagine that.

On the bright side, we've found a worse country than France so thats good for the French.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Germans have a long history of analyzing a problem, starting a school of philosophy around the problem, getting too excited about the analysis phase, and making a hobby of critique-for-the-sake-of-it only to immediately go off the rails into self-contradictory navel gazing. Then blame it all on human psychology and find a new movement/philosophy to kill.

EDIT: On immediate second thought, this is the entire world of Western European academia. God we suck.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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)

[–] Instigate 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are many radical things about the status quo - the persistent raping of natural and finite resources for personal gain; the ongoing enrichment of the ultra-rich at the expense of of the poor; the global hegemony that keeps developing countries from becoming self-sufficient; wages failing to keep up with inflation or productivity growth for fifty years; the precariousness of the peace we experience that is often ended upon a psychopathic man’s whims; a lack of genuine social safety nets to protect the most vulnerable… I could go on. Fact is, there are many radical concepts we just accept as being the status quo, however these fucknuckles aren’t touching on any of that, like they obviously should.

On a separate note, if there absolutely needs to be a state of Israel (lol), it should absolutely be in Germany (im sure they'll love it).

After a few years of course, 90 % of it will be Israel and the German population will be confined to an open air concentration camp and will be slowly genocided. But going by that picture, they should be OK with it.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago

Fuck yeah actually, make the Rhur zionist

[–] [email protected] 50 points 11 months ago (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it's even a mocking phrase to call them the most German of the German left.

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

[–] [email protected] 41 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 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.

antideutsch, not even once

[–] [email protected] 24 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"

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

[–] [email protected] 8 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 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.
