Be careful of false news that suits your narrative, it weakens our position.

That phrase has no known Nazi origin that I could find. As loath as I am to link to Reddit, there is a good write up here:

I'm inclined to give AskHistorians a pass. There is no community on Reddit that tries as hard as they do to moderate their way around the limitations of the platform and its management.

The verified posters tend to be millennial academics with masters or PhD's in history or closely related fields, and they take the name of the community seriously. You are there to ask a historian a question, and if none answers, then so be it.

And I agree, pushing past the obvious dog whistle to go somewhere the data doesn't lead is a way to weaken what should be a self-evidently powerful argument that the Trumpers are embracing ever-more-openly fascist positions on, well, everything.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Verified by whom?

Reddit as a whole is a consent manufacturing machine. These "verified" crap shoots, where every one of the "discussions" align with the confirmation bias of the people manufactured by people who want to curate the narrative doesn't have any credibility beyond people who are gullible or benefit from these narratives.

But you do you.

[–] turmacar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Verified by providing well sourced and reasoned answers. There are PhD contributors but mostly it's down to providing consistently providing context to an answer and not going off on some fringe tangent. It's easily the most heavily moderated subreddit.

"Why on reddit" comes up often and the answer has consistently (historically anyway) been that there isn't really a better long-form public outreach platform at the moment. Blogs are close don't have the same opportunity for followup questions and definitely don't have the same "drive-by" effect of just seeing it on the front page.

Literally have watched the typically accepted propaganda get removed quickly on that sub. Also had several conversations with mods when I was on there. Levelheaded and quite serious about their work. Literally the only sub that seemed to maintain ethics and consistency.

That being said, I’ve not been on there in a couple of years.

If you ever want to check, just dona search and set the range of dates to end before the current outrage.

Before January, I couldn't find a single use of that phrase on the internet.

But it's not some dog whistle, it's blatantly obvious what they're saying. Don't let them get it twisted up so that the only bad things are verbatim what nazis said.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago

Same. I did find a recent substack that acknowledges that this phrase as a reprisal war crime was not verbatim used by Nazi Germany, it was just "in the spirit" of how the Nazis did their war crimes.

Yeah, except that article is incorrect. The whole thing is made up. That isn't a Nazi slogan and never was.

[–] naught@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 day ago

You didn't read it.

One thing is clear: the phrase carries power, but its classification as a historic Nazi slogan is not supported by primary historical evidence.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Good message. I agree.

However, their message is still abhorrent

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, mods should probably delete the OP post imo... Its pretty bad to allow something blatantly false to spread like this. Especially looking at the upvote ratio.
