  • So your wall of text boiled down to ‘we can, but we won’t because nobody cares’. That’s pretty different from ‘that’s not how things should work in 2024’.

    You can dream that that’s how communities ought to work but they just don’t.

    Ironically, that’s how most of us ended up here on lemmy, we as a community decided to move off reddit.











  • You claim Zelensky is illegitimate and authoritarian for not holding elections in the middle of a fight for the country’s survival. The logic there is hilariously bad. Setting aside the absolute waste of resources, the last thing any country needs in such a scenario is for their leaders to start campaigning over who’s going to take control. It’s not the time and place for it. If you want to blame anybody, blame Russia





  • Why on earth are you focusing so much on the Nazis

    Because that’s what the entire article you linked was about! Why were you even linking that if you don’t agree with what they’re saying? It’s like you didn’t even read it before posting 😓 Fine, dropping the dang article and moving on.

    My point, which you haven’t actually addressed so far, is that caricature has always been around. Maybe not witches, but other things. Given that, it’s extremely western-centric to assert that all caricature today is rooted solely in antisemitism. It has roots far older and further back than that.


  • At this point I’m not clear what you’re trying to say. You’re contradicting the article which you linked to yourself. The article states that these imagery only started being associated with the Jews during the Nazi era. You claim otherwise.

    I am saying they have their ROOTS in antisemitism

    How can caricature, which has been around for millenia, have its roots in antisemitism? Especially in the context of Eastern cultures which couldn’t give a shit about Jews and the Holocaust. One century, we were all making fun of each other, but the next century we were copying the Nazis?
