All publicity is good publicity

They are called Anti-Deutsche (anti germans) or Anti-D for short and try very hard to mimic fundamental opposition while actually supporting Germany's foreign policy.

Still there are even anti-D anarchists for example who want all states to fall but Israel last. Everything bad about Israel is bad about all states so why bother with Israel. It's a rabbit hole, it's wild. But a purely German phenomenon for reasons

Patriarchal violence...

But true, the US is one of the few countries that didn't sign the children's rights convention

I love how the last full paragraph shifts the narrative from tooting in general is strange to normalizing 2 toots, but a 3rd one???

As I already pointed out, the holocaust was inspired by the settler colonialism of North America, no shit there are similarities. The "Lebensraum im Osten schaffen"-idea is settler colonialism. This wasn't the only aspect of the holocaust though. Jews as "the enemy within", the anti-Marxism, and the cis-hetero-normative hatred against gays and queers in general, the Führer cult, the "blood and soil" ideology ... all add up to a unique picture, as other genocides add up to their unique picture.

There are similarities to what is happening in Palestine. Blood and soil reminds of a people coming back to their "promised land" from their scripture. Still it's different from a people "cautiously" moving to the east. "Cautiously" not as in not hurting anyone but in a pseudo biological sense of not being sure if the ecosystem is right for us (blood and soil). Which is still different from settling on a previously unknown land with people you see as savages. "A Land without a people for a people without a land" (a Zionist slogan) sounds much more like a settlers on the "uninhabited" Americas than the Nazis for me but what do I know. Iirc Zionism was more inspired by the colonization of South America but not sure.

And I totally put the holocaust in a line with other colonial genocides, including the one in Palestine. But that's not what "the holocaust is happening again" does. That frames it as the second holocaust, the second major crime. Making invisible the Trail of Tears, the "Native American residential schools", the colonization of Siberia by the Tsar empire and later continued by the Soviet Union. None of this qualifies as the holocaust but the genocide in Gaza does? Why? Are the others too long ago, too far away, the victims not white enough (in the broader sense that includes Arabs)? Or are all of them holocaust? But then why not drop the word and say genocide instead? (A word not used by Anti-D in the context of Palestine btw)

Calling the holocaust "one of many (colonial) genocides" puts it into perspective. It's not the singular event as in worse than everything else. It is singular as everything is singular. Talking about the "second holocaust" in Palestine does the opposite. It draws a line only between these two points and makes invisible genocides in other regions of the world and other epochs. People like you make me sick. How can you ignore what happens to the Uyghurs and the Yazidis? The Armenian genocide wasn't a holocaust? Nothing to see here.

And I'm sure you will find a way to twist this comment to fit your prejudge again. I used the word "singularity" again and I'm sure this is the only thing you will remember from this comment. Why did I spend so much time with a troll like you?

I love how you constantly refer to it as the holocaust while insisting it wasn't the only one. So the holocaust was a settler colonial genocide. Even if that is true (and I at least see where it is coming from), it doesn't make every settler colonial genocide a holocaust.

So what exactly are your criteria to call it the holocaust? What are the Israelis doing that the nazis did too but not the settlers in the Americas, Australia and Africa?

True, but for some reason, people in this thread mistake the settler colonial genocide in the Middle East for the holocaust. I'm glad you're with me! I'm not the only voice of reason anymore.

Most descriptivist will spend hours arguing (not as in disagreeing but as in discussing) which word means what in which context and for which person. Can I use "to argue" in a neutral sense and what about the noun "argument"? Why exactly is this a different story? But not you, you got it right and everyone else got it wrong.

I don't even know what the meme is trying to say with the holocaust comparison. Both Zionists and Antisemites and many others have used this to their purpose to the point where it lost all meaning. When "the Jews learned evil in Germany" and Israel is "hell on earth" and a nazi state committing holocaust on the Palestinians, and killing one Jew is holocaust and so is abortion, the animal industry and everything in between and beyond, than either the holocaust happened only once – or it has no meaning at all and happens everywhere at once. You decide.

I would upvote without the last sentence. The Holocaust was a singular event as there have been many singular events, and none repeated itself, neither as tragedy nor as farce, but some of them rhyme

Look at your calendar again, they repeat this date each and every year since than. Over are the times when 9/10 was directly followed by 9/12, and I'm afraid it's over for good.

Where is lemmygrad? I would have expected them to make it on the list

When breadtube is down, they can just celebrate cakeday

Or, as it's called in France, cakeday

That's actually a trend among the younger gen alpha folks. Pretty sure it will wear off quickly but gen beta might adopt it, we'll see

Have you tried reusing them? When they are still relatively fresh you can brew them 2-4 times depending on the quality

80 tea bags?? I can justify 40, but 80???

It's not the country but the name for the people

The internet is never gonna give you up

My parents had a dictionary of foreign words and I didn't always use them correctly
