Föderation EN Di 15.04.2025 13:47:12 @Nonya_Bidniss my pet hypothesis is that trump and his inner circle wants to mulligan hitler’s run but without hitler’s mistakes (as their troglodyte brains perceive them) |

Föderation EN Di 15.04.2025 19:09:11 @amiserabilist @Kierkegaanks @Nonya_Bidniss Truths, so much whack. I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks. We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets. Plan Civil War 2.0, unless you know past fascists who left non-violently? Know anyone in the military? |

Föderation EN Di 15.04.2025 19:55:21 I will say it again, how many Americans realise that Auschwitz wasn’t located in Germany? |
Föderation EN Di 15.04.2025 23:32:20 @JugglingWithEggs @Nonya_Bidniss American here. I can assure everyone the answer is "not bloody many". |
Föderation EN Mi 16.04.2025 00:20:15 @datn Which is fine, because it’s wrong. It was called Auschwitz, not Oświęcim, for a reason. Not only was it literally part of Nazi-Germany proper after 1939, historically parts of Poland belonged to Prussia and Austria between 1772-1918, all Austrian Emperors actually held the title „Duke of Auschwitz“. From the perspective of Nazi-Germany, they didn’t „occupy“ those parts, they took them back „heim ins Reich“. |
Föderation EN Mi 16.04.2025 00:27:34 @skittles @JugglingWithEggs @Nonya_Bidniss in my humble opinion what was relevant at the time was not the Nazi-defined borders. as I see it what was relevant was what groups were considered sufficiently German for internal propaganda purposes. it is not, I don't think, a coincidence that the death camps were farther east than the modern German border. |
Föderation EN Mi 16.04.2025 00:29:46 @skittles @datn @Nonya_Bidniss But when people consider where Anne Frank was holed up, they know it was Amsterdam, Netherlands…under occupation, but it would have still been thought of as a Dutch city. When we consider Vichy France…equally we recognise the German control…but we don’t think of Paris as being German. Prior to 1939, Auschwitz was in Poland…if you go there today it’s in Poland. |
Föderation DE Mi 16.04.2025 00:50:58 @JugglingWithEggs Neither France nor the Netherlands were considered Germany by Nazi-Germany. Nazi-Germany built KZ Auschwitz on what *they* considered Germany. Same with KZ Kulmhof / Chełmno, which used to be Westpreußen, a really important ideological territory for Nazi-Germany. Sure, they tried to keep the death camps secret and hidden. But also they put them where the vast majority of Jews lived, not b/c „it wasn’t Germany“. |
Föderation EN Mi 16.04.2025 00:56:05 @skittles @datn @Nonya_Bidniss I see that you’re trying to understand this from the view point of German Nazis at the time, which is one thing, but I think if you were Polish or someone who was sent there would you have seen it the same way? |
