Trivializing the Holocaust by equating it to other events is an agreed-upon definition of Holocaust denial by a fairly broad range of institutions and viewpoints. Take from that what you will, but please don’t engage in Holocaust denial by pressing this point further. Unless you’re a Nazi, in which case I can’t really fault you for being consistent.

Equating the two might qualify as actual Holocaust denial.

We want you to remain living and growing and learning, friend ❤️

A smooth, voluntary, nonviolent transition to peace and harmony would be every leftist's dream, but there are institutions with power who have used, are using, and will continue to use violence to prevent it from happening in order to maintain their material interests. Call it whatever you want, but the process of transitioning from our status quo to something better will require dismantling institutions that are capable of defending their existence with violence. It sucks.

midwest.social is also an explicitly leftist server

Then I guarantee you that there are plenty of really smart, thoughtful, genuine individuals on hexbear with whom you will find common cause ❤️

Sorry for the confusion, but thank you for bearing with it (no pun intended) and engaging in good faith. I promise you that, at the very least, hexbear users are real people who are being sincere.

One thing I like a lot about LotR is that it's incredibly detailed and thorough, but there are still some things that simply exist regardless. In a world where magic is real, it wouldn't make sense if everything had an explanation.

Why did the lemmy libs even leave reddit? This is exactly what they want.

Zero chill Onion is best Onion

Why they call it “child support” when the checks all end up in my ex-wife’s bank account, am I right, fellas?!

First one is your opener for sure, then you can segway into some family court jokes.

I like Bozeman as Zephram Chocoran’s home base because there’s a good chance that Montana might have been spared a direct nuclear strike. Same logic applies to why San Francisco looks so futuristic: it for sure got flattened entirely by a nuke, so they would have had to build it back up from nothing afterwards. I’m guessing the Golden Gate was still partly standing and they rebuilt it for the same reason we keep other historical buildings/monuments around.

No idea if any of that is canon, but if we aren’t overthinking Star Trek then why are we doing any of this?
