  • You figure wrong.

    Germany has a Staatsräson that follows Israeli state narratives as an official form of redemption for their past and does not recognize the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians committed by the Zionist Entity, which is heavily supported by German weaponry. Germany, being accused of complicity in said genocide in front of the International Court of Justice. The chancellor calls the racist annihilation and colonization of Palestinian land „Drecksarbeit“ (dirty work).

    The phrase is not illegal in Germany, as there is no law against it and courts have decided in favor of the legality. But it is misused for state repression against protests against genocide, by misusing anti-semitism as a pretense, just like you do. People that like to equal Judaism and Zionism, which in itself is anti-semitic, as it umbrellas every Jew under the atrocities, that are committed by the Zionist state of Israel.

    The phrase implies freedom from colonization and for all people in the land of Palestine, which includes Jews, btw. Interpreting it as anti-semitic is a malicious use of the term, just like it’s misused to smother every form of dissent. Israel itself uses the phrase to advertise their imperialist greater Israel project, and therefore again create a narrative where they themselves do what they are accusing others of, as they are the ones actually doing the ethnic cleansing, not the would-be one by Hamas, that disingenuous people like you try to focus on.

    Germany has no authority over the definition and use of the term anti-semitism and how would they, as they did the freaking Holocaust in the first place. But what they like to do is do everything that Israel wants in order to appear as the chastened and repentant nation they wish to portrait. You clinging to that kind of argumentation is very telling, same as banning for the use of the phrase. But you are a Zionist, and as Germany will oppress resistance, so will you by willfully mischaracterizing the ways in which the phrase is used as anti-Jewish, instead of anti-colonial or anti-racist or anti-Zionist.

    Thanks, I prefer my shitty take over your scrubby narrative rehash without actual grounding in reality. Not sure how it helps calling everyone with dissenting perspectives a tankie makes any sense. Surely only, if you’re actively trying to remain ignorant and keep your indoctrinated mind at ease.

    That‘s not going to work. It‘s capitalism and here specifically the German economy in crisis, no significant tech or industry is left, that would still be relevant in the medium to long term.

    Like the US they‘ve been counting on fossil fuels for far too long, are crashing their last big industry, automotive, because of it and are now escalating towards war economy in the hopes to claim new markets and keep the economy up. They’re already one of the main suppliers for Israel and Ukraine.

    Rheinmetall is growing fast, forced labor was already being tested and is on the horizon for the jobless in general. All while the war ministers are drumming up public support for a preemptive war against Russia. The military is heavily supported and financed, while the social infrastructure is being systematically destroyed. Propaganda is in full swing and dissenting voices (journalists, press) are being sanctioned with very questionable reasoning. Once war is imminent or already on, people will be forced to work for companies such as VW, only then to build stuff for the war machine. Fascism is knocking, German imperial ambitions are back.

    Meanwhile, all major parliamentary parties are in on the war frenzy, even the left (die Linke) to an extend, but CDU (conservatives), SPD (social democrats), AfD (far rights, potentially part of the next goverment) and even Grüne (neo-libs with a green tint, lately olive) have morphed into full on war and repression maniacs seeking confrontation.

    Arbeiter, hörst du es nicht?



  • The German company’s presence in Xinjiang has long attracted attention in the West. Under pressure from investors and the German and U.S. governments, VW conducted an audit of the Urumqi plant, which it said last year found no evidence of human-rights abuses.

    (…) After the pandemic hit, however, operations at the plant started to wind down and the factory no longer assembles vehicles.

    The “proof” is “attracted attention in the West” and “under pressure from investors” - and then it found no such proof in the factory.

    Why the wind down? Mentioned in the linked article from the year before:

    His visit also highlighted Volkswagen’s other problem with the plant: It has fallen short of big plans the company and its joint-venture partner, the Shanghai government-owned SAIC Motor Corp., initially had for it.

    “The business model has changed. There is currently no production of our own,” Mr. Brandstätter said this week after the first visit in nearly two years by a Volkswagen senior executive to the site. Chip-supply issues, as well as China’s Covid-19 curbs, contributed to the joint venture downsizing its workforce by almost two-thirds in recent years.

    That time Brandstätter also said he saw nothing. Now, I’m not inclined to believe what some capitalist corpo guy says about working conditions, but this whole thing is obviously political pressure, because Germany does not want their big manufacturing corpos so deeply involved in China, as it draws capital and jobs away from the country, the whole Uyghur angle is used as a reason to build pressure.

    The report asserts: “Global scrutiny of supply chains linked to Xinjiangfactories resulted in Volkswagen’s exit from Urumqi”, which is not true or if so only in the sense that the pressure resulted in the closure, but not actual abuses.

    This is also clear, when you check other linked articles, for example under “a source of criticism in Germany”, which is a union leader lamenting about exactly that and also using the same age old allegations as an argument that are used every time, although economic interests are the real reason he opened his mouth in the first place.

    Later in the report even notorious discredited one-man-source Adrian Zenz, ideologue and religious extremist himself is being used as source for their judgement. It’s a sham. It’s political propaganda.

    This whole little one-page “report” does not bring anything new to the table. They made up some criteria and released a report towards the end of the year, so the myth is being kept alive and accounts like Hotznplotzn, that do literally nothing else other then posting Anti-China and Anti-Russia propaganda, can rile you up and manufacture consent against them.

    Stop being so gullible. There is no new proof for anything. It’s a rehash to gain attention. OP is right.



  • This kind of misinterpretation is what is emblematic for the people in this community.

    So, show me where I called specific people or a group of people or a whole community Nazi, please. We’ll go through the relevant parts together:

    You are drinking the cool aid in a nazi bar.

    So, here’s the origin of the term Nazi bar. Why do I say this is a Nazi bar? Because I’ve witnessed different forms of hate speech here and it wasn’t punished, but argued over by the mods (the bartenders). So, it’s clearly a place that tolerates repugnant language towards other people, does not punish the users, but accepts them as equals. So, in short, this community is the equivalent of a Nazi bar.

    Because chuckling with nazis is something I condemn in general, maybe you or others like to be aware of what’s happening, if you engage in this community. You chuckle with rightwingers, nazis, genocide deniers, fascists and naive people that don’t realise that. Which one are you?

    Here I use the term Nazi (and the over stuff) again to illustrate, that in this community there are Nazis, just like in the Nazi bar, which tolerates Nazis and over time gets infested by them. I did not call anyone a Nazi. I also did not say that this is a Nazi community. I merely said, that these kind of users exist and are accepted in this community.

    But here you then proclaim that I “keep calling people nazis”. Which is plain false.

    So, you clearly have a problem with reading comprehension. Your mind runs wild and interprets words in a way that the sentences they’re in just do not deliver. You’re reacting emotionally with your own preconceived judgement. You hear, what you want to hear, not what is actually being said.

    Next, show me where is this “community that thinks it’s great that Russia is invading a sovereign nation and destroying and killing countless people” and show me where they proclaimed such things.

    Seriously, you’re fantasising, you need to realise that. Bring the receipts, dude.

    As far as I have become to understand the people that are derogatorily called “tankies”, because they’re thought to be authoritarian in a way that is unacceptable (another discussion), they do in fact not “think that it’s great that Russia is invading a sovereign nation” and they even less so think or say, that therefore they “think it’s great that Russia is destroying and killing countless people”. That’s simply delusional. Again, bring the receipts.

    And with that kind of delusion, because you only hear what you wanted to hear anyway, you come here, into the Nazi bar, thirsty for easy chuckles with your pals, not realising, that you are chuckling in a community, that’s fine with having Nazis, genocide deniers, Zionists and straight up Fascists as regulars.

    And now I’m here trying to tell you, that you should leave the bar. Good night.


  • You already showcased how easily you are entertained by chuckling with this community. So alright, … Just because I say that this community is a Nazi bar and you are chuckling with the likes does not also mean that I explicitely call “them” (everyone in this community) Nazi. All I say is that this is the environment where also Nazis (and the likes) are chuckling. With you (and others, that might not be Nazis). You chuckle about an outgroup you share your disdain with. Nazis will expand their disdain to persecution and murder and you keep on chuckling. Nice, hu-ho-ha-ha. Quality character.








  • Nobody approved of atrocities. But you demanded an oppressed people to resist in a specific way, that you personally see as morally just. But you have no idea about the lived reality on the ground. It would have been stronger to focus your condemning language towards the oppressor, that did and still every day is doing the same and uncountable worse and more atrocities. But you didn’t do that. You actually never did that.

    You only ever reacted towards comments that did display Hamas in the slightest positive way. You never ever reacted on comments that did display Israel or the IDF in the slightest positive way, although they are the genociding settler-colonial actor here.

    So either you are just reacting on conditioned indoctrination or are a chauvinist1 or are maybe even just a racist. Which is it?


    1: Unwarranted bias, favoritism, or devotion to one’s own particular group, cause, or idea.


  • Sure bro, both sides are equally bad. If Israel would not genocide the Palestinians, imagine what Hamas would do to all the poor settlers and occupiers. If “the moment the Oct 7th attacks happened, everyone knew that the ordinary Palestinians were going to be slaughtered as revenge”, the Palestinians maybe just shouldn’t have resisted in the first place. Surely the accountability should not be on the oppressor, but the oppressed. Delete your genocide excusing, occupation supporting hasbara account, please.
