When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

Posting guidelines.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

He’s probably one of those people who think the nazis were socialists because nazi is short for “national socialist”.

[–] zerkrazus@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Probably, despite the fact that Hitler himself said they weren't socialists.

[–] Jaderick@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

The socialists of the party were killed in Night of the Long Knives

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

I mean but c'mon are we going to believe a word he said? /S

[–] arc@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

He wouldn't even need to say it - just look what the Nazis were which was basically fascism + racial science + antisemitism

[–] athos77@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

Or who conveniently forget about the Southern Strategy and the great party switch. Massive, massive mental gymnastics to put themselves on the 'right' side of history every time

[–] TheEntity@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

While I agree with both of you, these two points kinda contradict each other.

[–] exohuman@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Many do think antifa is just a different word for socialist, so it’s not necessarily a contradiction.

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a contradiction, though.

"Antifa are ANTI fascist - it's in the name!!"

"The Nazis weren't socialist - you could name yourself whatever you want!!"

[–] Domriso@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Except Antifa isn't a formal organization, it's a descriptor for an ideology. An organization can call itself anything, even if it isn't a proper descriptor, but an ideology is by necessity defined by its name.

I thought it was "I did Nazi that coming"
