Anglos love to make jokes about Nazis fleeing to South America like the whole reason our countries have space programs and NATO isn't from poaching Nazi talent

How is the cult from Midsommer white supremacist? Because they are swedish and borrow from paganism? The nazis appropriated Norse culture, they even misused different runes and symbols, and Scandinavia is one of the most tolerant regions in Europe.

There's Nazi imagery throughout the film, & the fact that all the poc die first is no mistake. Ari Aster himself has said that the Harga are White Supremacists:

Defying an outdated horror trope, Aster does not kill off Josh (William Jackson Harper) — the only black character for miles — first. As Aster points out, though, the Hårga are racist, a callback to “a part of Swedish history and European history,” and all of the “outsiders” or “new blood” recruited for mating are purposely white.

“He’s thrown away in a way that the other members of the main cast are not," Aster notes. “And that is because these people have no further use for him.”

The Harga, when not inbreeding with each other, go out and groom new members to either 1. Be sacrified or 2. Introduce new genes by manipulating people into the cult or drugging & raping them (what they did to Dani & Christian), & they ONLY pick white people for this. There are no nonwhite Harga & that's not an accident.

The script also makes it crystal clear that the nonwhite couple were specifically chosen (bc they are not white) & brought there to be sacrificed & were never going to live. The member that brought the nonwhite couple displays hatred & malice towards them when they're not looking, but doesn't do this with the other white outsiders

(Ingemar is the Harga that brought Connie & Simon, the nonwhite couple). Connie & Simon didn't do anything wrong, they didn't do anything outright to insult the Harga. The only thing they did was be shocked about seeing the ritual suicide & express desire to leave (and they weren't the only ones who did this, Dani also did). And yet they were some of the first to die.

Even the visuals-- the Harga wear all White, it's always in blinding daylight. Whiteness is a GLARING theme. There's also foreshadowing early on in the film, where a book titled "The secret Nazi language of the Uthark" featured in Christian's room just before they go to Sweden.

There's also other Nazi ideology present within the Harga, such as the strict gender roles (the women all wear dresses & cook & clean & care for the children together but the men butcher the bear together), eugenics & ableism (the elderly are killed off at a certain age because they see disability & needing to be cared for as an elder "shameful", which is what one Harga states at the ritual suicide scene, & of course killing off the nonwhite characters), the "return to tradition" ideology (there are NO modern technology in the community, & it's in the countryside).

You see a cult full of ONLY White people, using Norse paganism (something VERY popular with Nazis) in an isolated area, who routinely murder poc, don't intermix with poc, kill off their elderly, Dani (the blonde, light eyed white girl) is praised for her beauty & made their May queen by the Harga, with strict gender roles, & this film was made by a JEWISH MAN to show the Harga as the bad guys, & you don't have a hunch that the Harga are maybe supposed to be white supremacists/nazis? That doesn't raise any red flags for you?

& let's not forget how Scandanavia committed genocide against the Saami, the Indigenous population who were there for hundreds of years before anyone else. That's a little off topic, but as a First Nations Canadian I aint gunna let that just go unacknowledged. Scandanavia has a white supremacy problem too, & Ari Aster is right for pointing it out

The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons resigned Tuesday for inviting a man who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II to Parliament to attend a speech by the Ukrainian president.

Just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered an address in the House of Commons on Friday, Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka a standing ovation when Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to him. Rota introduced Hunka as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.

Observers over the weekend began to publicize the fact that the First Ukrainian Division also was known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a voluntary unit that was under the command of the Nazis.

in reference to an addition to the post speculating about James Somerton going through a far-right pipeline, what's this about him "romantisicing nazis" now? Do you know anything about that? What's it even mean?

Its discussed in Todd in the Shadows' video, but essentially he made up a bunch of weird lies about how the Nazis were all mega ripped and sexy and the SS & Hitler Youth were full of basically out gay men fucking each other. Not openly saying "Nazis are good" but lying about the history of Nazi Germany in very weird ways that, when you know he is making these facts up himself, feels really fucking off

okay so... i found out that one steven universe meme that's spreading around comes from this:

[ID: a four panel comic: 1) "Steven Universe vs. Hitler" 2) Steven asks, "What if you could change your mind, Hitler?" 3) Hitler just glares at him 4) Garnet puts a hand on Steven's shoulder and says, "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Steven", to which he sadly replies, "Damn". /End ID]

uh.... i don't have to say why this is messed up, right. y'all know rebecca sugar is jewish, right?

like, say what you will about steven universe, this isn't funny.

Something I see make its way through goyische leftist spaces is the idea that "Israel should know better"/"didn't they learn from the Holocaust?"

And they don't see a problem with that idea. They don't see why that phrasing is actively harmful.

Look closer, though.

Look closer, and you'll see that this idea implies that the Holocaust was a lesson to learn, rather than a travesty and atrocity.

It implies that, in one way or another, we somehow "deserved" the Holocaust.

It harkens back to a very Christian idea of redemption; that redemption is achieved through punishment, thus whatever punishment a sinner receives is warranted.

So, then, we—the Jews—received the ultimate punishment, for we are the ultimate sinners.

And we should be grateful, really, because we got that opportunity to learn.

It demands that Jews should be grateful for the Holocaust, and we're acting ungrateful.

So, the Jew is still treated as the ultimate sinner, deserving of the ultimate punishment.

How else will (((they))) learn?

(Also, it is not your place to declare yourself Zionist or anti-Zionist if you are not Jewish. And this is not the time or place to have that discussion.)

(Also—because I know the reading comprehension on this site is piss-poor, and that this post has a chance of breaching containment, I shall add—I am in no way supporting how Palestinians are treated. Palestinians deserve recognition as a people. Palestinians deserve to live in safety and comfort and joy.

But bringing up centuries-old antisemitic propaganda helps nobody, and it only perpetuates harm.

If you want to support Palestinian people, you will not achieve that by making Holocaust comparisons, and you will not achieve that by blaming Jews for their own oppression.)

Can we talk about "cultural marxism" being an antisemitic dog whistle and how it's a rebrand of Nazi Germany's "cultural bolshevism"

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

Seeing self-described "leftists" "progressives" etc. Standpoint Epistemology their way into thinking "to be fair if you were a Ukrainian in 1941 you could have ended up fighting for one side or another and these were difficult decisions we can't understand so we just have to respect the Agency of everyone involved" is genuinely dark-sided shit. Actually fucking evil. All because of one decrepit SS fuck in C*nadian parliament who in a just world would be 80 years dead.

[compassionatereminders]

honestly i never even thought about it like that, but yeah, i can vicariously feel that twist in my stomach at the idea of being an endogenic system (whether or not you call your experience endogenic plurality) and looking through a DNI and seeing you're listed between TERFs and literal Nazis. even if it's not intended to imply equivalence that still has to feel fucking awful.

sending the best of vibes to you! thank you for your posts today

No but I really do think more people should think about it. Like obviously you can make whatever rules you want for your own blog, but I encourage people to think about the difference between "actively supports fascism and bigotry" and "disagrees with me about X obscure intercommunity discourse". Because there's usually a difference worth noting. And I think some people are far too quick to demonize anyone they have any slight disagreement with

i just love fma 03 for like, making us question our love for the "good" guys

ed is pretty much racist and ignorant, which is called out by multiple characters (and him "not seeing color" isn't a virtue cough cough). he eventually admits his prejudice and works to improve that.

although we see how goofy hughes and team mustang can be, we also see mustang nearly attempting suicide twice both for killing ishbalans and for killing the rockbells - and not in the same episode! and i also like that the soldiers' perspectives don't overshadow the ishbalans' nor the liorans'

probably my favorite thing about this adaptation is that the homunculi aren't the source of the problem. like they were always there, infiltrating in the shadows, but the military has always caused destruction and pain without rlly needing the homunculi. they don't rlly control anything, despite the fact pride and sloth are the führer and his secretary respectively. like history always repeats itself as scar realizes the military is persecuting liorans the same way they did the ishbalans. so the problem was never truly the homunculi. their role is rather small in the grand scheme of things.

and finally you see hughes as a nazi in the parallel world (which is rlly ours). so many ppl hate that, they can't accept that a nice goofy dad could ever take part of such an awful cause. but the amestrian military was always nazist. i mean. their leader is THE FÜHRER. that is consistent with all fma adaptations. it's just that fma 03 actually makes us confront that. they show us the reality of things. hughes is still complicit in genocide, even if he avoids the conflict. he's as guilty as mustang.

and i think everyone forgets that nazis can be rlly anyone, mostly common ppl. that's how hitler ruled germany with the crisis and ignorance spreading. that's what fma 03 wanted to show. not everything is sunshine and rainbows and not everything will be solved once the "good" guy tries to rule an already corrupted system. it will just be the same.

Is Germany becoming Nazi Germany again? Da fuck? There was some Neo Nazis living in East Germany and there are a number of far right types in East Germany again.

nazis never left germany, they're just seeing an international surge in support for and complacency about nazism and taking it as an invitation. german nazis were just a bit quieter for a while.

also. can i just say, as much as this happening is fucked up, I only see people sharing news about this around when it's impacting lgbt+ people... when theres been a spike in antisemitic hate crimes worldwide. which.

antisemitism and white/aryan supremacy are the core values of nazism. (ive included the phrase aryan bc i once had a white german tell me he was okay with me being brown because im indian and "indians are aryans too") yes they hate gay and trans people too but I think white ppl who aren't jewish are way too willing to make nazism all about homophobia and transphobia, when their first target is and always has been jewish people, followed by romani ppl and poc.

and if we can't even acknowledge that then how the hell are we gonna dismantle the systems that enable nazism and other forms of white supremacy to exist??

synagogues are being swatted and getting bomb threats and people are only addressing nazism as it impacts those of us who aren't jewish!!

[stranger-rants]

"For example, you see Billy as a victim that needs help and compassion to heal from a broken home. I see Billy as joining the Nazi party at 16 and tattooing a swastika on his ass."

WHY DO Y'ALL THINK LIKE THIS? WHY CAN'T Y'ALL BE NORMAL ABOUT BILLY?!

One thing I see a lot in political discourse is using the Holocaust death toll as a comparison point for other tragedies or perceived tragedies. I think that is almost always inexcusable. Reducing the Holocaust to a numbers game is fucking disgusting and it’s one of the things I resent most about how it is often discussed in politics.

The holocaust’s brutality and violence is by no means encapsulated in the number 11 million (6 million of which were Jewish.) Even aside from that incomprehensible number of victims, there are far greater long lasting impacts. The fact that roughly a third of the Jewish population globally was slaughtered in an attempt to quite literally eliminate us from this planet is a tragedy not just because of the lives lost, but because of the impact it had and still has on those living. The Holocaust was not a switch flipped that caused 11 million spontaneous deaths. It was the calculated mass murder of a handful of already stigmatized minority groups, particularly Jewish and Romani people. Beyond those killed were millions who were tortured in the camps. And beyond those even there were the people in hiding who subjected themselves to sub human living conditions and a life of constant fear because the alternative was the camps. And people who were lucky enough to flee their home countries that abandoned everything and everyone they knew, often suddenly forced into extreme poverty.

And even aside from those who lived through it, the Holocaust has ramifications for Jews today. The Holocaust didn’t just spring up from the ground, it was built on years of antisemitic propaganda and conditioning that was built on hundreds of years of animosity towards Jews. That hatred did not just go away when the camps were closed. Jewish people are one of the most likely minorities to be a hate crime victim in America. Every far right conspiracy theory thats currently gaining traction has deeply antisemitic undertones, often accompanied by Holocaust denial. The January 6th riots were full of proud boys sporting t shirts and flags that read some variation of “6 million wasn’t enough.” These people quite literally do not want the Holocaust to be a one time thing. The Holocaust was not just a mass murder, it was a fear campaign meant to strip an ethnic minority of humanity in the eyes of the rest of the population. And it worked better than you fucking think it did.
