German law declares people unpeople, big novelty clock ticks over to 1939

Thank goodness the US was able to return the Nazis to power in West Germany or the godless communists might have prevented Germany from continuing to exterminate Semitic children all these years later.

Nothing bad has ever happened from Germans getting really into classifying people, right?

Germany never really stopped being a nazi country, did it?

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 99 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I had written a thing, but then I went looking for an article and this quote basically sums up what i was saying better:

West Germany reinstated former Nazis in government and kept the same strict Nazi-era sodomy laws, which criminalized any act perceived to be homosexual, including kissing and touching. As a result, the West German government prosecuted more than 100,000 gay men between 1949 and 1969, of whom over 50,000 were convicted. About the same number of gay people were prosecuted and convicted during the Nazi dictatorship, according to Huneke.

Bonus cope in the very next sentence, emphasis mine:

East Germany, on the other hand, repealed Nazi-era laws in an effort to be perceived as anti-fascist,

parenti-hands unfalsifiable orthodoxy, when the reds do good things it's only to hide their inherently bad nature, ect ect. The whole article is studded with little gems like this, including:

Huneke found that during the Cold War era, communist East Germany had more lenient sodomy laws and accepted gay activists’ demands more quickly than its democratic twin.

If it's more lenient and more responsive to the people, then how is it not the more democratic? This article is a really good example of idealism, where a clearly better material outcome must be implied to be duplicitious or tainted somehow because the "bad" guys did it. Still, it does get the facts right.

Damn, it sure sucks when people do good things. It's so disingenuous and they're just trying to look good. We shouldn't do that - we should just do bad things.

ah statelessness. one of the most mindmelting consequences of our good-old "rules-based international order"

The international rules based order vs. what if I just don't

Meanwhile on r/worldnews they're getting mad a German government official was getting attacked in Palestine.

Maybe don't declare that a group of people have no rights or protections and then go to the place where those people live and expect to be treated kindly.

Stalin shouldnt have stopped at Berlin, failing that...

...Germany folded in the wrong direction, failing that...

...The whole state should've been splintered back into 500 different counties constantly waging war over whose sperm lottery winner had the largest moustache and smallest codpiece

Some bullshit law about high school statistics says we had to unperson you. Sorry, we're just following orders. (Now where have I heard this shit before?)

A couple of years down the line, these fucks will want us to just forgive and forget. And I'd be willing to. You just need to be this based to qualify: bushnell

Without a specific event (e.g. Israel winning the war, a treaty/ceasefire with specific wording), I don't understand what triggered this or why this was necessary at all.

[-] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 34 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It's fascinating to me how Nazi Germany really never died. Their unwavering support to the Zionist project has only served to perpetuate their expansionist, genocidal ambitions, even if only by proxy. Fourth Reich indeed.
