        double genocide theory, soft holocaust denial

          The Germans weren’t upset about the Holocaust, they were upset that they lost. Now their descendants cynically exploit it to support yet another genocide. If they could do it again they would, the only difference being that they would make sure to only target the correct victims this time.

          Truly wretched and worthless blight on humanity. Morgenthau plan was already an extremely generous compromise. The very idea of Germany should have been blown into a billion pieces and scattered to the wind, and the language eradicated so I don’t have to hear their grating bloviating about their cynical fake “””atonement”””.

    I grew up reading Astrid Lindgren in the 80s and 90s. I watched Inger Nilsson, and the newer American adaptation in the late 80s. I read those books over and over again. Her superhuman strength, her dad the always-gone sea captain, her horse that lived on the porch.

    One or two lines of questionable dialogue, but other than that good books for a growing kid to read.

          Yea. The taboo on racial slurs was never really considered by authors in Scandinavia until later, you still had children’s authors writing about racial tolerance while using what are just straight slurs until the late 90s.

          Edit:I should clarify. This is not a defense or an excuse. It is ridiculous and embarrassing.

        What’s wrong with calling a guy the Fat White Chief especially when the word cracker hadn’t yet proliferated

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
