One highlight of the thread IIRC was a user linking the thread that started the harassment against you as evidence in defense of the admins of feddit, lol.
It's about feddit, not all Germans, and 99.9% is for comedic effect. I don't know what percentage of feddit users are zionists or what percentage of German Lemmy users are feddit users, but the instance as a whole defends and promotes zionism, which is why it was defederated. If you're not a zionist then I have no problem with you (or any other German user).
hence me not downvoting or reporting because i have other context. however i don’t think it’s as much a reach as you say it is when the purpose of a disinfectant is to kill, and it’s not all that clear that “eliminates 99.9% of germans” means “eliminates 99.9% of german participation on a single fediverse instance”
Actually, I specifically made sure to choose a container of wipes that said "eliminates" and not "kills" (which is a common marketing term) because I wanted to make sure this was clear.
if you and the mods think this is all fine, that’s fine. my critique is not meant to be criticism of your stance, just of the effectiveness of your messaging. if i’m alone in finding it muddled, i can live with that, but i suspect if i found it muddled others do too
Fair enough, of course I can't control how you or anyone else perceives my message. However, I made this as a shitpost to amuse other anti-zionist leftists and not as propaganda to try to change anyone's mind. If this makes liberal zionists (Germans or otherwise, but to clarify I'm not saying you are one) angry, for example, that doesn't bother me.
this is a lefty meme community, not a shitpost community. i presume when i am in this space that people are interested in creating, promoting, and propogating left-wing memes. from that stance, i try to think about what left-wing memes act as effective positive propaganda
That's not correct, see the following text from the sidebar.
This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, discussion and agitprop/stuff that’s better fit for a poster than a meme go in c/Socialism.
It's defederation. It eliminated them from the Lemmy instance, not life.
however, the idea that 99.9% of germans will need to die to dissolve the german state i feel crosses a line from us supporting the end of genocide to us calling for a genocide all our own.
No one is trying to actually kill Germans. This is the same kind of reaching that people engage in to get angry about "death to America" or even "unlimited genocide on the first world" memes. You are perfectly aware that this is a joke about defederating an instance and not literally killing people.
It's defederation. It eliminated them from the Lemmy instance, not life.
imo “eliminates 99.9% of [demonym]” isn’t funny or ok for any value of [demonym], even when you’re making a germs/germans pun.
If this were about a demonym that actually is a victim of genocide or might be a victim of genocide, I would agree. For example, "eliminates 99.9% Palestinians" would be a horrible, evil thing to say.
Even if it were calling for killing Germans as a joke, which it isn't because it's referring to eliminating posters from a Lemmy instance, it wouldn't matter because there is no genocide against Germans and there is no power structure that might be used to commit one. This is the same principle that explains why there's no such thing as "anti-white racism" and why "unlimited genocide on the first world" memes are funny and not horrifying like "unlimited genocide on minority groups" would be.
So far (after a few minutes), this is getting downvotes on .ml's /c/memes (which still is federated with feddit.org) but not here. Everyone, the KKKrauts want you to know that they are NOT MAD. Put it in the newspaper that they DIDN'T GET MAD.
Sauerkrauts, I request that instead of downvoting like cowards you crash out in the comments about how "death to imperial core countries" is actually the real genocide.
It's Germany, this is about persecuting people who oppose zionism (as well as any other project of the German state). Any stated justification is a lie invented to cover that up.
As long as there is colonialism there will be violent resistance. This violence as well as the initial violence of the colonizers is the fault of the colonizers.
I'm sure some innocent Germans were killed during WW2 by resistance fighters, but the reason it happened was because of the actions of Germany. Without the colonization, it would not have happened and if you focus on it to condemn the resistance fighters then people will correctly identify you as a nazi.
Like the nazis who make those arguments about WW2, you are attempting to justify your opposition to resistance and therefore your support of genocide.
Still an ableist, still a racist, Death to “Israel”, death to Europe, death to empire, death to colonialism, free Palestine.
Ignoring your inability to tell the difference between "death to a political entity" and "death to the entire population", very funny that you think "death to empire" and "death to colonialism" are "genocidal". Oh no, won't someone think of the poor white people colonizing, stealing, and committing genocide?
I asked you as a hypothetical. It was meant to verify the cause for your gross historical ignorance and genocidal tendencies.
lmao, weak deflection. You assumed I was "bad" because of a mental disability as a hypothetical. There's a word for that, it's "ableism", the same as if you had hypothetically asked if I was the r-slur (because it means the same thing as an insult).
I'm not reading all that. Death to "Israel", death to Europe, death to empire, death to colonialism, free Palestine.
You do that a lot, don’t you? Imagine things about people you disagree with and then assume they’re true.
I don't need to imagine, you called me "a disabled person" as an insult. That's exactly as bad as using the r-slur because it's literally the same thing.
I'm imagining third parties? You just stated that Palestinians are Israelis, mate. To the Israelis (and their nation), Palestinians are the third party (and the other way around).
Shut up, lmao. I'm tired of dealing with your colonizer ignorance. Several people have explained to you several times how and why you are wrong and it's clear that your racist condescending European colonial attitude makes it impossible for you to actually grasp the reality of colonialism and therefore the reality of "Israel".
40 years ago you would have been crying about how "the Blacks" want to commit genocide against the white South Africans and denying that they were colonizers too. Before you cry about how you "didn't say that", that's what's called a "hypothetical". It's meant to demonstrate your gross racism in a way that's easier for you to understand, because the two situations are the same but everyone today knows that the South African example would be obviously racist.
Hamas' stated eradication of Israel = genocide.
Go read the 2017 charter instead of assuming the people you think are below you match the caricature you have of them in your head.
All violence in a settler colony, including the violence perpetrated by and against the colonizers, is the fault of the colonizers.
And concluded that it meant "every 'Israeli' who died deserved it". It actually meant "some of them didn't deserve to die, but their deaths are still the fault of 'Israel' because it's a colonial project that cause this to happen".
This conflict really brings out the worst in some people. On the one hand, they blame the murder of innocent people on colonialism, and on the other, on the alleged human shield tactic.
Yeah, it did happen because of colonialism. It's also extremely telling that you present these statements as equivalent, as if "'Israel' is a settler colony" and "Hamas use human shields" are equally valid statements. The first is a very basic, correct analysis of the nature of the state, which the most important early zionists (such as Herzl and Ben Gurion) not only agreed with but were proud of. The second is a racist lie designed to try to excuse genocide.
"Israel" literally uses human shields, by the way. They have actually tied human beings to the front of their vehicles in the past.
