So, Instagram has started pushing threads into users’ feed, and every now and then we get a glimpse into the unmoderated crapshoot that is that app…

L.E.: should be noted I do not have a threads account, have never even downloaded the app, this is sorta like “advertising” to try to convince you to move to their platform.

I’m honestly surprised and shocked that Nazism is rising up again. It is a scary idea that, that ideology is growing bit by bit.

Have people not learnt about and from the past?

[–] talos_the_true_god@lemmy.world 103 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I think it’s quite likely they’ve learned too well about the past. If recent history (and internet-documented behavior patterns) are to be analyzed, I think it shows that people yearn for power and control over others: just look at all the karens, the reddit mods (you know which kind), the trolls, supporters of certain parties and so on.

I guess they imagine that extremist regimes will provide them with that power, without taking a moment to think “oh, wait, the chances that I’ll be the one oppressing and not the one oppressed are miniscule” (and that’s setting all other moral things aside).

It’s a scary thought, like you said.

The United States was the primary source of inspiration for the German Nazis. Even as the fascist Nazi party was rising up in Germany. They were mimicking fascists in the United States. The German beer hall putch was not an isolated or unique event. The fascists here in the United States had the business plot. Which FDR almost completely dropped the ball on in exchange for short-term gains. Letting these seditious fascist escape with their lives to regroup and continue plotting. Long ago having clawed back most of the short-term gains FDR got.

Within barely a generation they were running bigoted racists like Nixon and winning. Soon followed by the rather open protofascist Reagan. Whose vice president was former head spook at the CIA. The same CIA that had spent much of the early 20th century overthrowing democracies and destabilizing the rest of the world. He also happened to be the son of the man that was most likely to have been their intended leader to install as fascist dictator. Who's coke adult son a little over a decade later followed in his father's footsteps.

Fascists in the US at least have never had consequences to learn from. They've barely had to setbacks. They just slow boiled it here. But we still arrived at poisoning the blood of our country and blood and soil. Eventually. January 6th was not even the first Republican coup plot that we know about.

And there are plenty in the UK and Europe that learned the wrong lessons from world war II as well.

People HAVE learnt from the past. It’s just the wrong people, and they learned the wrong lessons.

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's kind of a cycle with capitalism. There's no real way to control it other than to get rid of capitalism altogether.

Have people not learnt about and from the past?

or have you just not been paying attention? Nazism and fascism never went anywhere, and have been openly on the rise again for a significant while now, and those of us who it already impacts have been fighting them as best we can every step of the way. So maybe instead of pointing your finger at others, you should be asking yourself how this can possibly be taking you by surprise, unless you weren't paying as much attention as you like to think you have..

Don’t know about you but in my country there’s barely to no Nazism. Sorry if I don’t go out of my way to search for it.

ETA: It is also illegal in my country.

As the number of people who personally had interactions with the OG Nazis continues to reduce toward zero, the people who are following that same fascist ideology will start to slither their way into influence and the whole cycle will try to repeat.

Is that 1d mean it was posted a day ago?

Shit, how come it can survive a whole day without being removed.

A bunch of friends who actively use the app were praising it for its “freedom of speech” and “unmoderated nature”. Showed me some pretty foul things while they were at it :)) safe to say, I’ve started to move away from them

And that's why any social media algorithm would think you'd be interested in such things. Report and block.

SANTA IS A MARXIST??? HAHHAHA!

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 21 points 10 months ago

It all starts with the beard you see.

Beyond dumb, it's hilarious

[–] Someone64@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s satire and not even trying to hide it considering all the angry emojis and the fact that they’re a comedy sketch duo.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 36 points 10 months ago (3 children)

If they have anything to do with the lemmy instance of the same name I'm afraid that's wishful thinking.

The fat, jolly, red-suit-wearing Santa as we know it today, created by Coca-Cola to sell more product, is a Marxist. TIL. 😂

I saw a couple other screenshots of unhinged threads post ads on insta that were straight up trans hate posts. Guess they're really trying to show off their "free speech"

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 43 points 10 months ago

What the fuck?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Based Meta marketing person making ads that turn people away from Threads.

[–] Pogbom@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

Or trying to attract people that prefer Twitter :P

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

The funny windmill men also 8 thousand likes WTF

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

The number of Nazis on the internet should come as no surprise. It's not even surprising that so little is done about it or that almost no one cares. The only surprising part is that advertising used to be free of this shit.

Just fyi and not that it matters too much, but I'm pretty sure that if you have an instagram account, you've also got a threads account, even if you've never used or even seen it, that's how they got "millions of new members" when they first launched..

Either way, this is gross, but I'm almost glad they're going masks off to compete with xitter's "free speech" because while this is definitely dangerous and scary, I'd rather those who feel the same actually see them for what they really are.

[–] talos_the_true_god@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Yeah, you’re right. When you log in, apparently it prompts you to follow all your instagram friends, and it doesn’t say that they have or don’t have accounts, just that your request is “pending”, like you’re waiting for them to reply.

It's not an ad. It's Meta showing how it's.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 22 points 10 months ago

A great screenshot nevertheless. This ugly thing always peaking from around the corner for any chance to thrive.

[–] roon@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 months ago

They did nazi that coming

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I wonder how many people actually are nazis and how many are edgy teenagers trying to piss off people online. Surely the number of true shitbags can't be this high.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 36 points 10 months ago

They may start off as edgy teenagers, but there’s that whole gazing into the abyss thing you have to worry about

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 31 points 10 months ago (7 children)

When someone tells you they're a nazi, there's no downside to taking them at their word.
