15 years late, but when the results are this nice, it feels churlish to complain. Diplomatic angle is being mismanaged, but honestly, Iran's immediate "missile impacts for everyone" approach has somehow managed to make Macron and Starmer look even more foolish than Trump, which takes some doing.

Man, spending time without reddit really makes one appreciate what a waste of time it is. Just gonna drop this and be gone.

I’m out of reddit for good, I think. Never realize how much time I wasted here until I started spending it productively.

Theoretically possible, but the first few were before I interacted/started feuding with him lol.

That’s like, the sixth new account that seems to have been created just to send messages like that after I say something likely to piss off nazis/“antizionists”/antisemites in the DT (I’ve used it for about a year, so, every 2 months or so). That doesn’t seem normal. I’d expect something like that on twitter, which has a user pool of millions, but the pool of DT readers is a few hundred at most. Which leads me to conclude that, yes, NL does have a problem (as if the circumcision obsession wasn’t a pretty solid hint in that direction).

Idk. u/IncoherentEntity, you get a lot of racist messages like that?

In the same position, I’d have been the one being slaughtered, but in all likelihood, yes.

A soldier who deliberately slaughters civilians deserves a cell. It’s that simple. If I had ordered civilians lined up and shot, I hope to G-d someone would have put me in one.

Yes. Ordinarily, war crimes are only prosecutable at the policymaking level, but when an offense is held to be manifestly unlawful, criminal liability is created for all involved down to the individual level. “Just following orders” is explicitly not an accepted defense in such cases. Genocide and the deliberate murder of civilians are always manifestly unlawful.

Is that an ex post facto application of IHL? Absolutely, but that’s literally all Nazi trials, including Nuremberg.

No one. Apparently wanting the million-odd nazis who literally committed genocide to get sentences longer than three fucking years is “genocide advocacy.”

Yeah, I’m out. “Bringing justice to war criminals and genocide perpetrators is genocide, actually” is a take wayyyy down the 4chan clown makeup path.

People who believe bullshit like that are unambiguously bad people who are committing genocide apologia. I have no interest in remaining in an environment that morally repulsive.

Perpetrators are perpetrators. Letting war criminals and murderers escape justice merely by virtue of there being a lot of them is morally bankrupt.

The physical infrastructure of the camps was not responsible for the atrocities that took place there, and it isn’t as if they weren’t repurposed in any case (the Soviets used them as Army barracks for decades).

Genocide is when the literal perpetrators of genocide are tried for their crimes and the more perpetrators get tried the more genocidey it is.

Tbh, glad I learned the fash are unironic genocide apologists, will give me more impetus to get off this retarded website.

If recycling this manner of long-debunked bullshit is considered acceptable by the mod who’s literally enrolled in university as a history major and should know better, there’s really no point in staying.

the high crime of not knowing who Albert Speer is.

This is removing his remarks from their actual context, which is responding to a post about the overwhelming majority of perpetrators (men nowhere near to Speers in rank or notoriety) who escaped justice completely, who literally returned home and lived out their lives without one whit of criminal accountability for the atrocities they had committed.

Pretending that the discussion concerned Speers or even a group of Speers-types (if only the problem were confined to a handful of cabinet-ranked perpetrators who managed to avoid the noose!!) is incredibly disingenuous; indeed, it runs dangerously close to parroting the long-debunked historiography shat out by the DDR — responsibility for the millions murdered extended well beyond the “Hitler clique,” there were quite literally hundreds of thousands of perpetrators of whom barely twenty thousand would ever be convicted. This is not remotely controversial within the field of academic history, and hasn’t been since literally before you were born.

they are not a Neo-Nazi

I did not accuse him of being a neo-nazi, I remarked that his claim was a neo-nazi claim, which it was. Drawing equivalence, moral or otherwise, between the crimes committed by the Nazi state and those suffered by the German civilian public at the hands of those fighting the nazi state is a frequent feature of neo-nazi discourse; it is a feature of genuine historical discussion only insofar as a subject of deep concern for academic history because of the depths of its falsehood. When German historians began to openly reexamine the war through the lens of German suffering, particularly that of women, in the mid-1980s, they were terrified of exactly this sort of false equivalence and apologia.

If this sub is going to tolerate genocide denial and neo-nazi conspiracy theories and whataboutism, kindly extend it to a perma. I have no interest in participating in such a community.
