American here. Want free Palestine.

Edit: Wait, Argentina is fucked too? What's wrong with them? Didn't expect that.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 hours ago

The current president of Argentina is someone named "Javier Milei", the one who gave a chainsaw to Elongated in order to symbolize their shared "libertarian" (anarcho-capitalist) views. Guess this answers (part of) what's wrong with Argentina and why they shill whatever the current USian administration shills.

It's nice to know that a generation of Germans saying they had a "special understanding" of genocide because of their history were right. They had a special understanding of how to get away with enacting and supporting genocides.

Like, I'm not German. But literally everything they teach about their history and being "accepting" of their peoples crimes. Like, do they just throw that in a trashbin now and go back to full fascist again?

With the way they treat Muslims it seems so. Thousands of Holocaust scholars and historians just completely useless to that society.

You're not "special" Germans. Your brain rot is rivaling that of America.

Its not all German's but the ones in power and the idiots eating their shitty propaganda. The majority 52% has a negative view of isreal, not everyone is of the understanding that its a genocide only 33%. 66% approve sactions on arms export. The crimes of the second world war are still taught a lot in school. The unfiltered history is still on display in museum etc. (i don't know of any country that does that, most countries with a dark history just push it under a rug and never mention it.) That being said our current government is right-wing piece of shit flirting with the new popular fascist party and taking legitimacing their ideas. Its bad and people seem more brain damaged than ever atm. The divide and conquer tactic is working, extremely well on the population.

Very interesting take. Are you German? I hadn't heard those stats and I'd guess they are recent. Seems like a shift like many other western nations people not agreeing with their ruling class. My worry is that it is fueled by the same shift the US is seeing with anti Israel "America first" fascist movements. But would like to hear your take.

I've been saying for years that the normalization of Muslim hatred in the west will inevitably become xenophobic in general and Israel is the first target for that. But unfortunately, I think that comes to power under right wing movements that hypocritically use Israels actions to paint Jewish populations as the next target.

Using the genocide of a Zionist state to first support it to fuel anti Muslim hatred. Then shift into a full xenophobic campaign. Using the west newfound hatred for Israel to target Jews and other minorities in the war. While at the same time STILL supporting Israels Ethnostate project bt exporting Jews and exploited immigrants to its fascist project in West Asia.

Sorry. A bit of a rant. The jump to "deporting Jews" is probably my own take. But if we shift from the crypto fascism of Trump to the Neo-Nazi movements that support him I don't think it's far off.

I would say that's possible if Vance takes power. Or, we have 4 years of a liberal president failing to provide material improvements for the working class again. And we get an even worse outcome after that as the right wing takes power.

Ironically, I think Trump is the crypto fascist standing in the way of what most of his supporters and cabinet really want. And we see it in parts of his administration he hands of entirely to them (ICE being the most obvious).

I believe this will end either in nazi dictatorship or civil war. The us doesn't have many options. And they are shockingly unprepared for authoritarianism.

[–] PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

the de-nazification of Germany never truly happened. CEOs complicit in the violence got let go. I think there is a fern video on that. I believe (this)[https://youtu.be/-WX5zOdMprc] outlines some of the most prevelant nazi CEOs that got away.

As a german, the whole "we learned from our mistakes and render our backs bloody each morning" was never real, well only as real as those white people in america who cosplay as slaves to "wash away" white privilege or something. And it only happened truly in the 80s, there was revisionist history abound, just like in southern united states.

The narrative was always very limited and bent to exclude political opponents du jour, after all west germany was supposed to fight slavs, communists and soviets which were 2/3 of the nazi enemies. Preventing actual resurgence of nazism would have meant dismantling capitalist white supremacist and imperialist power structures and in the end UK, France and the United States were counting on those staying.

As a person of foreign origin who spent a part of life growing up in Germany. Screw most Germans. Weird jingoistic people. Beautiful country.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

German here. Couldn't agree more.

Wait, India, Nepal and Bangladesh(?) abstrained? The West doing that is expected (because they fully wanted to vote no but was worried about the backlash) but why those countries?

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Money.

Also Bangladesh is green.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Well we know India is pretty big fan of fascism so there is that.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

Surprising to see Greece not abstaining.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

It is the details that matter. When you color Puerto Rico as having abstained, even though it is part of the US, it gives gives zionists ammo to question the rest of the infographic.

[–] Fancy_Gecko@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

is the graphic from geopolitical economy report ? good channel

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Agreed. I never hear other content creators mention him. But have been watching for years now. Dude just keeps dropping good Marxist analysis on global economics that keeps coming true.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So most of the strongest economic countries that can hurt israel voted no or abstention is is simply like voting no.
