98-year-old Auschwitz Survivor Reveals She Has Never Thought

Post Reply New Topic

When the German, white-bread oppressors, insist you are wrong about everything and that they are liberating you, by murdering you.

And then treat you as if you never existed, and as if the holocaust never happened...

Probably claiming that holocaust deniers are conspiracy theorists, because these people know it happened - they had a hand in it themselves.

Germany in 1946 was a country suffering mass amnesia.

I don't see why she would want to remove her tattoo. Maybe to her it's a memory of her survival and her strength and how she battled through it. I remember a friend online tried to do a gotcha on me by comparing concentration camps to removing confederate statues so I told him "Jewish people see Concentration camps as gravesites where many of the victims died and as a memorial site for survivors. Confederate statues does not mean those."

Honesty I have no idea if my friend was this dense or just trolling me but it's mixed with him which is why I have put up with it all from him and it's done in PM.

BTW I have never seen wokes fight against this.

Comparing cancel culture to the Holocaust is laughable and indicative of the depth of this side's victim complex. You guys need to grow some thicker skin or you'll all collectively brown your pants at the first sign of actual oppression.

Your not being allowed to deny the ubiquity of racism say sh***y things about trans people without facing social consequences is not comparable to millions of Jews, queers, Roma, and neurodivergents who were murdered for doing literally nothing.

Holy crap regulating speech is not abolishing free speech. Most people agree to limited regulations of speech in certain instances. You cannot shout Fire! In a crowded theater because people will panic and trample each other. You cannot whip a mob into a frenzy to try and kill someone (unless you're Trump, apparently). We all know what happens if you spread anti-Semitic ideas, and what happens if that speech is legally protected.

Of course anti-trans arguments fall apart in open, honest, logical debate. That does not mean people will stop spouting anti-trans arguments, because these people are not logical. And the result of expressing anti-trans is trans people being bullied, being kicked out of their homes by their parents, being driven to suicide, being murdered by fundamentalists, and being treated as disgusting perverted deviants.

The trans people who have to deal with these things do not have the luxury of waiting around for the marketplace of ideas to weed out anti-trans sentiments. It's hate speech that benefits no one. Shouting 'free speech!' in defense of such things does nothing except debase the very idea of freedom of speech. It's a matter of life and death for some. We are not waiting around for transphobes to collectively pulls their heads out of their a**es. It's time to move on and stop treating these people as if their arguments deserve respect or protection.

It's all contextual & nuanced, also. If you turn up to a debate in a studio & state that you think that trans people are deluded - that would be in the nature of structured, free speech & debate.

If you are terrorising people in the streets, shouting transphobic slurs, that's a completely different issue.

So even though these two things are both transphobic, one instance is acceptable & the other is not acceptable.

People need to start thinking clearly on this issue.

But yet making a competition to sign for a homopbobic to be fired or leaving the school and not wanting to attend there is wrong? Wow, I wonder what your rules are for taking proper measures for hate speech.
