> like sorry but it is possible (quite reasonable, even) to simultaneously be both a socialist and a racist.
there even is a term for this! ;)
@velartrill i recently read about ernst röhm. reportedly large parts of the nsdap knew he was gay and didn't care what he did in private, but the _socialists_ weaponized it against the nsdap before '33. may even be the wikipedia article i got this from.
the discrepancy that there were some women (riefenstahl, hannah reitsch) in high regard for their work is also interesting. like anything it's not really black & white, even if everybody wants the nazis to be pure evil 🤷♀️
@Eris i'm convinced that i probably don't know "the truth". hell, it probably doesn't even exist 🤷♀️
@Eris how with my limited human abilities could i perceive and understand the objective truth?
note this is different from what i think is ethical. the problem is that it's like flying with only radar. some things are very obviously bad (huge echo from a mountain) some are not so clear (maybe just a nasty cloud?)
there are few things i can clearly say i think are bad, like child or animal abuse. nazis did some pretty fucked things, but some ideas were probably right, like cheap vacations for workers and emphasizing the value of families.
>how with my limited human abilities could i perceive and understand the objective truth?
The sky is blue.
It's really easy I don't know why you people have all these weird epistemological hangups I think public school trained you to phrase everything like you're a bitch ass nigga tbqh.
>some things are very obviously bad (huge echo from a mountain) some are not so clear (maybe just a nasty cloud?)
People always tell me there are grey areas but I have yet to ever see one.
>nazis did some pretty fucked things,
Like what?
