The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

~~Probably gonna get downvoted for this, but~~ that's a misleading headline. Nazi meme implies the meme itself is Nazi, where as the meme in question, according to the article, was comparing LGBT to Nazis.

I don't agree with the meme, for the record, I just have (what I think is) a reasonably specific definition of Nazi. "Bigoted" would be a more accurate word to use here.

But then, this is Not The Onion, and the headline is technically correct (it's a Nazi meme in that it's a meme featuring Nazis,) so whatever.

Yeah, it should be called an anti-trans or anti-liberal meme. Saying she was supporting Nazis is misleading and sensationalistic. However, ironically it is a point of view that historical or current Nazis would support.

Agreed.

Though I am now enjoying imagining this woman trying to be a subtle bigot at a party, while Hitler keeps butting into the conversation to emphatically support her...

I wish her self-awareness and growth, and all the discomfort, embarrassment and revulsion at her own choices that will come with it.

Jesus: "Whatever you want others to do to you, do that to them."

Monique (Probably): "But what if, and just hear me out here, I don't wanna?"

I'm so tired of this psycho Christian bullshit. When you teach people to fervently believe a bunch of things that make no sense... it's too easy to make up nonsensical excuses, and there are people who 100% fall for them.
