    I only ever get excuses for why people aren’t defending their own democracy.

    If you ever wondered how the Nazi holocaust could possibly happen, this is exactly how. We’ve got front row seats this time.

      Plenty of historians documented the process. General apathy, combined with a delusional denial that anything bad could be connected with the superstar leadership. “If Hitler only knew” was actually a thing people would say about the suffering. And he enjoyed just as much support after the war as before, because, yeah, delusion.

      I wish we were allowed to talk about it on Lemmy without getting banned by the vast amount of conservative mods just “doing their jobs”

        Talk about it without brushing up against laws. Talk about it like you have a brain.

        The guy with the huge post talked about it and it’s not objectionable at all.

        Lemmy is a free service and admins are just trying to stay clear of trouble. Surely you can understand that.

          Just keep your head down and let it happen. —Lemmy

          Maybe we need to be objectionable.

            The issue is less that you’re being objectionable. The issue is that you’re trying to shove other people in front of you (admins) for them to be objectionable.

            And it’s not that hard to follow the rules while still making your point.
