Commenting that Nazis should get punched abstractly (i.e. not a specific Nazi) got me site permabanned from Reddit. They have chosen a side.
Got a temp ban for that myself! My perma ban came from mass reporting r/truerateme
I got perma IP banned after commenting on a post about how nazis want X minority eradicated: "Well, maybe nazis should be eradicated"
Did I take it too far? Perhaps. Do I regret it? Not in the slightest
Perhaps? How did we come to live in a world where people question themselves about whether we should eradicate Nazis.
There was a time not long ago when the only thing the entire world agreed on was that Nazis should be eradicated.
They never stopped after the war, they hunted down Nazis in their 90s hiding all over the world to bring them to justice.
Half the games I grew up playing involved shooting Nazis.
I mean you probably know that, but I'm pretty sure threatening violence against any group, no matter what group, violates their rules. Making exceptions would just increase their workload.
Same here, said I think punching Nazis is always a good idea like grandpa taught me, banned.
Still think it’s a good idea for the record.
Reddit banned me once for saying someone should take out Putin. Putin. So should we not want one of the most genocidal dictators we've had in some time gone? Ok.
I think I know where reddit keeps getting it's "fuck around" money
Omg same lol
Whole reason I'm here.
I only got shadow-banned for my anti-nazi content, but one of my posts was removed by reddit themselves
They don't remove your posts when they ban you, they want to keep the content that you made for them.
Remember that video of Ron perlman saying that a studio executive might lose their house for what they said? I commented something to the effect of ' if Hellboy said it's time to start burning down houses I would show up'
Permaban.
Then corporations will create Nazi punching farms and they'll create media and buy off right wing politicians to try to create more Nazis so they can add them to the farm.
Cant argue with that...Or maybe the nazis all kill each other off trying to make more money lol
All I'm hearing is systematic Nazi punching and I'm still on board.
I hate how the POS system at one of the gas stations near me instead of the normal "transaction successful" sound, plays the sound of Sonic taking a hit and losing all his rings.
It's just too on the nose.
here's a video on why some registers use Sonic sounds!
3 days later you jokingly punch your friend of 10 years and money flies out
Hmmmm....... friend of tens years gets plenty more punches. If it were a friend since pre k, hes get like 3 more punchs. Then deadly stares.
Uh, yeah. "Jokingly".
There are now gangs roaming the streets at night beating up anyone they think is maybe a Nazi.
One test slap. No money, join up. Money, 👊
You can even tell they've been reformed if their nazi ways when the money stops coming, the perfect judiciary system
If that's how he feels then why doesn't the genie just poof Nazis out of existence in the first place?
It isn't a genetic condition (unlike what Nazis would want you to believe), it's a memetic stupidity condition... new ones keep turning all the time.
Uhm. Doesn't Sonic drop rings? Not coins or there is some variant that does? Or are the rings money? I haven't played much Sonic tbh.
Yup. I guess she mixed up Sonic and Mario. Shouldn't affect the joke to much I guess.
Oh sure, I mean those golden rings looked valuable anyway not I care what it jumps out of the Nazi tbh 🤣
Although now of thinking it.... The rings thing and Nazis... Maybe not the best as it reminds of the collected wedding rings and so on.... Not that it would apply for this new Nazis they are talking about tough...
The rings are not money in Sonic. You are correct.
I was wondering why I'm seeing so many replies here jumping to defend the Nazis and then I realized this was posted on world.
I am afraid that would make Nazis rich. I mean they could have "fight practice" and get money from it. I think Nazis would abuse the system.
What's even considered a Nazi nowadays? Just someone who disagrees with your opinions? The term has become absolutely meaningless, completely stripped of its historical baggage.
Someone espousing almost identical politcal views to the Nazi party usually fits the bill. I haven't seen anyone striping it of its historical baggage here except for your dumbass.
Oh, there are plenty of people trying to "strip it of its historical baggage"... or eventually they fall back to "Nazis are fine as long as they fight for us":
- March 26, 2019 - Former WWII nationalist guerrillas granted veteran status in Ukraine
- Azov
BatallionAzov Brigade
Others disagree:
- September 26, 2023 - Canada's speaker quits after Ukrainian Nazi veteran's speech
- September 27, 2023 - Poland seeks extradition of Nazi veteran hailed by Zelenskyy, Canadian Parliament
PS: the sad thing is, one has to post this with a bunch of links, or risk getting called a tankie... and it can still get modded away.
I've heard Israeli call Hamas Nazis, Russians call Ukrainians Nazis, Ukrainians call Russians Nazis, random political figures calling other equally random political figures Nazis... Now I'm sure it's sometimes called for, as you said, neo-nazism, for whatever reason, is a thing. I feel like it's the same crap as calling any idea a tad on the left "commie" or "tankie". It's not a valid criticism to put everything under a blanket term, I would much prefer that people put reasoned arguments before irrational name-calling. But sadly politics is all about appeal to emotion, isn't it? I feel deeply ashamed when I watch political "debates" in my country.
There is nothing more performative than scrawny white people bragging about how much they want to punch nazis online.
If you came here to make friends, this is not the way to do it.
It's fun to make fun of internet tough guys
I love how vigilante justice has slipped in through the back door again.
"Oh but you don't think we're should hit nazis?"
No. I don't think you should decide who is a nazi,.
This reeks of Nazi apologia. There are plenty of hateful groups out here today using the same exact tactics as the Nazis did while avoiding the name because of the stigma around it and you think we're the issue for calling them by what they are. Ridiculous.
That's because it is.
Im talking about the ones proudly waving flags with swastikas on em.
then you only get the tip of the iceberg.
The only thing you accomplish with this wish is the formation of groups who come after people who get called nazi, even if they are innocent.
This already happened a few centuries ago. Back then people used the term Witch to get rid of people they just didn't like.
If it looks like a nazi, walks like a nazi quacks like a nazi and has a swastika flag, its a nazi
Don't worry, all these lefties would never actually punch a Nazi.
