I’m going to tell everybody a little story about how many members of my grandmothers family were killed by Nazis (repost) (exploding-heads.com)

My grandmother was born in Berlin in 1938. Her father was essentially forced into the army, because he had skills as a mechanic. He was captured by the Russians, and then tortured for the rest of his life essentially. At the end of the war nazi Gestapo went to her home and tried to force her grandfather and all of her under age brothers into the war on the eastern front against Russia. When her grandfather refused, they put a hand gun to his head and shot him in front of the entire family, and then essentially kidnapped. All the young boys and every last one of them died. The only one who survived managed to get away by hiding in an old clothing case. Once the war was pretty much over and the Russians had control of the city, my grandmother watched as her mother was gang raped by Russian soldiers. She actually had her head shaved by her mother so that the Russians would think she was a little boy so they wouldn’t rape her because they were literally raping women of all ages. If you ask me how I view Hitler and his fanatical followers. I would tell you that I despise them because I remember being a young boy and watching an old lady cry as she told me the stories of her youth and the horrors of war. So when you guys start going around calling Republicans Nazis I’m sorry if I don’t take you seriously and I’m really offended by it. This is another reason why I can’t take people seriously that call Trump and his supporters Nazis. The fact of the matter is once Hitler gained enough power, He armed his supporters to the teeth with military grade weaponry, and began a genocide in his own nation against Jews and other minorities. If Trump really was a Nazi and so he were his supporters then during that four year time span he would’ve found ways and means to arm his supporters and begin slaughtering liberals like it was going out of style.

Lot here and I'm getting tired so sorry if I skip some stuff / have more typos than usual.

I’ve seen you lean on the “this is just a place for memes, bro” crutch a couple of times now.

Point was more that if the sub is about posting memes, I'm not there to have long political discussions. A little short back and forth is one thing, but purely if I'm posting memes I'm not there for long form chats andbis more what I meant. I don't always have time for long form which IMO is what the best discussion is but popping on to post a quick shit post while you're dropping a deuce at work usually doesn't take too long.

Casual racism or bigotry is still racism and bigotry, FYI.

As far as this and the crutch part from earlier, I really do just consider it joking around. You want to call me a racist for that, I don't really care. I have had black friends that call me cracker. That's racist too. My Jewish friend has called me goy before. Same shit.

There was a Broadway play awhile back with a song something like everybody is a little racist sometimes or something to that effect. I believe similarly to that or maybe that it is a spectrum not unlike autism. To my way of thinking, there's a big difference between someone that gets fed up with politics and memes things up / acts like a twat in one specific place as an outlet but is otherwise a decent person and someone that is calling for mass eradication of a group of people. Maybe you see someone with high functioning autism (formerly Asperger's) and low functioning as the same thing just because they're both called "autism"? I dunno but for me there's a difference.

And I think the fact that everything is confined to a specific sub is also a point worth considering. I do post on other subs but like for instance on EH's funmemes the rules are a lot different and I don't do that stuff outside of the designated areas for it.

Also, I didn’t really pay close attention to everything that got posted here, I did see a bunch of memes or whatever, but this thread and the other couple that I posted in weren’t meme related in the slightest, which is why I chose to respond to them.

Ok, if I came off as trying to crucify you over it, wasn't my intent. Meant it more in terms of time management and compartmentalizing different stuff in different areas. TBF, I get that lemmy's ui does not always make this an easy task and that I probably come across as a lot more of an asshole when I'm in a rush and firing things off more rapidly. When I have the time, I have tried to help folks out that don't like that kind of content.

I'm not offended at all if people want to block me. Honestly, I really wish Lemmy had some kind of tagging system and the ability to filter in/out posts based on tags (at community and post levels, possibly for comments and users too tho). I think that would be a much better solution than wholesale defedding / user-blocking of entire sub or everything another user posts. Or at least a real cool and novel alternative for those that want to take advantage of it.

But at the end of the day, I came there specially to vent and relax and I'm not breaking any rules. So if someone isn't trying to actually engage in discussion and just wants to give a hard time about it, then I either ignore them or if they are persistent then probably will block them and move on.

As far as you saying you’re not a bigot, well when you selected your username, you chose to show the world otherwise.

Honestly, when I selected it what was going thru my head was I was frustrated with trans activists (not necessarily all trans people) and thinking

If I get blocked bc of the name, then it's not really a free speech instance so that is a good test that's pretty quick and easy
If I pick a name that the more radical trans activists dislike, then probably they will be more likely to straight up block me rather than engage in discussion so I will get less interactions with people I am not fond of dealing with.

I think I'm allowed to change my name on here and now that I know the instance is truly free speech, I might even consider looking into it at some point. I haven't ruled it out or committed to it yet but we'll see.

As far as "showing the world", in terms of what "world" is encompassed in the corner of the fediverse that hasn't defedded us, I'm fine with that perception/misconception/deception if the trade off is that it encourages more radical elements to leave me be. I'm not opposed to calm discussion here and there but I don't come here to defend my viewpoints that I'm "not allowed" to have on mainstream sites. TBH, if people on mainstream sites weren't so easily offended like things used to be 10/15/20 years ago, I doubt I would feel the desire in the first place.

maybe your hatred of trans people

Minor distinction but I don't actually hate trans people - only the pushy activists types. What most people would call sjw's. Many of whom are not even trans themselves.

Hell, if you asked me what a "troon" was even 10 minutes before I registered, my dumbass probably would have confused it with a "macaroon" and started getting hungry. While trying to find something for point #2 above, I saw a post mentioning it meant trans activists or goons or something, but tbh I don't even really know for sure how its used.

you saying you’re not a bigot

Ok, maybe bc the word is so reductive that it doesn't account for someone being annoyed by a group of people or for where on the spectrum of bigotry one falls or what they are bigots about. I dunno.

But like I said earlier, I see a huge difference between someone that is literally a member of KKK and wants to literally kill people, someone that casual says slurs to their buddies, and someone who is neither of those things but disagrees with using political power to artificially put one group on a pedestal or is willing to tolerate but not cater to demands.

If people want to call me a bigot for the stuff I'm posting in dankmemes, I don't really care. It will fall on deaf ears and if someone wastes my time too much, I'll probably block them.

Outside of that, if I'm on some other instance with some other name and just expressing a different political opinion, I think it's kind of a dick move calling someone a "bigot" over nothing but having a different point of view.

I still can’t figure out why anyone who wasn’t a Nazi sympathizer would allow that sort of presence in their party.

I dunno about the official party/ GOP. But most of the guys I personally know that vote Republican aren't officially affiliated with the party and mostly just don't want stuff the other side is pushing but they identify as Republican. I know a couple guys that vote entirely along the 2A lines and don't seem to really give a damn about anything else but call themselves Republicans. Haven't known any of them to express any race hate whatsoever. Lgbt support varies a bit tho.. Especially the T part. But most of them are pretty indifferent to LGB.

You could day they are bigots I guess. I don't think it fits. Racist definitely doesn't. Transmisic / transphob maybe. But that kinda implies disliking the people. Most art like ne and just don't like how the political side is getting thrown at them wihy no discussion, no input from the other side, just "do as we say" mentionality.
