So when are you yanks going to actually start shooting each other?

Rutte's ass kissing went to his head, he thinks he's the world's "daddy".

Sure, but the question is if it owns enough to make the bite hurt.

The world? No, it's the US.

What do you mean not everyone knows the filmography of Bernardo Bertolucci?! /s Yea, my bad. It's a great movie, you should watch it.

Yes in principle, which is why it shouldn't be minimized. Corollary: the fact that it is should not in itself be used to minimize it ("ah it's all shit, so why do you complain about it").

Yes, but Jews in general don't have anything to do with that. That's an Israeli Zionist tactic and it's very important to make that distinction.

Hey NDP, enough with the incremental respectability politics. Give us what Mamdani is cooking.

We are all living the intergenerational consequences of the crimes and delusions of those fuckers.

My Greek yiayia was talking about being a kid during the occupation and being hungry. Intergenerational trauma: I feel horrible throwing expired bread away. They supposedly admired us for being Greeks and at the same time subjected us to famine and massacres.

I maintain that it is also intergenerational trauma and abuse that we are brought to splitting hairs about ordering nightmares.

Take care.

What the fuck? That has to be a violation of the ECHR.

Take care buddy. Poking this shit is stressful as it is, no need to make yourself worse.

I'll just mention one factual error in your writing, that discussions and disagreements about the fate of Jews among Nazis are unthinkable. 1939-1940 discussions about the Gypsy Question were in the same period that the Nazis were debating what to do to the Jews. In the summer of 1940 the Nazis were approving the Madagascar Plan. It was in January 1941 when they decided on the Final Solution. Until then they were putting Jews in ghettos "pending a decision". Which means, there were discussions ongoing up until the Wannsee Conference.

Again, take care, none of this is worth your health.

YDI I think because you are downplaying the importance of antisemitism. You're also doing an antisemitism yourself by saying that Jews in general have become special kind of ubermenschen.

You're wrong about antiziganist Nazi views:

Under Adolf Hitler, a supplementary decree to the Nuremberg Laws was issued on 26 November 1935, classifying the Romani people (or Roma) as "enemies of the race-based state", thereby placing them in the same category as the Jews. (source, see also here)

So, no, Roma people are not in the same category as Poles and Slavs when it comes to the Holocaust. They are actually in the same category as Jews, Hitler put them there.

Antiziganism has deep deep roots in Europe, and has its own version of the blood libel. That Europeans are often completely oblivious of the depth and breadth of the problem is just further proof of how deep rooted and pervasive it is. For example, almost nobody know that the Roma were legally chattel slaves in Romania until the 1850s. For another example, Roma communities right now face systemic incrimination and racism all over Europe and it simply is not an issue. There is no continent-wide Roma Lives Matter movement, there is no Roma History Month, there is no widespread remembrance of the Porajmos, and there is no attempt to link the problems facing Roma people today with that legacy. There are no Oscar awarded movies about them, their stories and their suffering. The main name used for them is still a slur. Roma history is a black hole in the heart of Europe.
