Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

None, ever, because I’m not a degenerate Nazi fuckbag
Not everyone who uses Lemmy is a tankie, right? Yeah the worst users on the 4chan spectrum are literally the worst humans, agreed. Used to be plenty of good shit on there though. Granted I used it most a decade+ ago. I'm a leftist and nothing I've ever seen there has swayed me from that stance.
You're using concepts the Nazis used heavily in the same way that they did, just against them. You might want to interrogate that.
shines a light in the face of using words against nazis TELL ME WHY YOU DID IT!
We live in a world where I'm now seeing various slurs that originated in Nazi circles being used as regular slang.
"Degenerate" as an insult is based in social degeneration theory, notably something coined by the original Nazi party to describe people they classed as sub-human, and they thought were leading to the degeneration of society.
Forgive me for not liking when people use concepts coined by the Nazis in the same ways the Nazis used them, just on different groups. It's not like classing people as sub-humans has lead to problems in the past or anything.
Yes, fuck Nazis, but also fuck Nazi ideas, and maybe we shouldn't be using them.
On the other hand. We should take things from Nazis and use them as we see fit because Nazis shouldn’t be allowed to have things.
What the Nazis had was bigotry, and violence, I'm good???
And we should take those things from them so they don’t have them anymore. You see what I’m saying.
Yeah I'm not disagreeing. It just sounded funny and I decided to make a silly/bad/stupid joke.
Ahh, sorry, misunderstood!
No worries, all good.

Editing because I just realized you were the person I responded to:
Hey I have a question. How were you criticizing me? Because that sounds like you're accusing me of being a Nazi when the only actual evidence you have of that is me not liking when people throw Nazi concepts out online. Because unless you were criticizing me specifically that logical fallacy doesn't apply.
One cannot reason a person out of a position they did not reason themselves into.
Yeah, mostly this.
