His point is that even if the Germans of 8-9 decades ago were stuck in a bad position such that fascism was their best choice, the people who are leaning into fascist ideals today don't have that same excuse.

Its not an excuse, but you also cant say that people voting right nowadays were born evil either. Its for a reason.

[–] altasshet@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So what you're saying is - it's their choice. That seems worse, no?

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Its not their choice. They had it worse than the 1930s germans did

You can choose how you respond to a situation. It is ABSOLUTELY their fault. It will never not be their fault (those who supported, not merely lived through it).

Stop infantalizing people. Are humans not special in conservatives' belief? Are we not better than dumb animals? Then why are you using the excuse that they were a cornered beast?

Fucking pathetic.

People are a result of their environment. Nothing more.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

So you're nothing but a dumb animal? No ambition or desire or ability to plan past the next meal?

What a pathetic existence.

We can conclude your environment has no point, only semantic debate.

Alter, willst du mich verarschen? Das kannst du nicht ernsthaft glauben? The fucking Boomers had it worse than the Germans in 1930?

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago

The person in the photo is too old to be a boomer, and yes, the boomer had it much, much harder
