World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You said this:
I disagree with you because I don't believe that history should ever be repeated. Seeing how he acted, through how he shaped the country, is important to preventing that
For example, did you know this particular location has a grand, 400 foot golden elevator?
Put yourself in the shoes of an average MAGA supported who does not agree with genocide
They'd get to Eagle's Nest, step in that golden elevator and think, "wow, this is nice. A lot like Trump's tastes."
Then They'd get top the top and see the grandeur of Eagle's Nest and the incredible view. They may never have realized Germany was quite properous during the early third reich
Then they'll get to the monument and museum portions. They'll be reminded of the 7 million dead and the horrors of genocide and authoritarians
I think that's a good event to get the gears in their head turning. Whether it's direct parallels like Hitler's gold elevator resembling Trump's affinity for gold, or the understanding that the Holocaust was only possible with the indifference of the average German who was content to live in relative luxury
Many Nazis supported Hitler because of the same mundane reasons the average person supports Trump or Putin. Promises of lower cost of living, increased income, prestige on the global stage, and most importantly a scapegoat to blame problems on
I'm going to just gloss over your extremely naive scenario where these Nazi lovers go to the top of the elevator and then open their eyes and learn something. Cuz I mean come on.
Instead let's move on to this. This isn't hypothetical. We already know that Nazis make pilgrimages to this place. Some of them even take pictures about it and then go on to be Republican legislators. This place which was always a monument to Hitler, still is. Or was maybe hopefully. This isn't a matter of debate. You're arguing for an active Nazi Monument to which Nazis make pilgrimages.
I'm all for the museums. I'm all for the remembrances. Build them. But I don't want to keep the God damn Hitler monument. Also I don't know if you fucking noticed, but it ain't stopping history from repeating. So maybe a better way to stop history from repeating is to tear down The Monuments glorifying the history we would don't want repeated. Then build your museums.
The structure isn't an exhibition that will change a Nazis mind. Nick Fuentes and Madison Cawthorn are among many such Nazis, American specifically. Who revere or go there to be closer to Hitler and learn nothing.
There are no maga by definition that don't support genocide. There are those that won't support it publicly, but that's not the same thing.
Had the old structure been razed and a new one with no direct connection to Hitler been built. The exhibition would have been much more effective. Like I said it's become a thing among many of these Nazis to go visit there personally, to unironically celebrate hitler. And they learn nothing. Similarly when Trump dies Mar-A-Lago needs to be stripped of all valuable raw material and torn to the ground. Regardless of its past history. It's connection to Trump will be toxic and linger. They will legitimately go there to worship Him.
