I agree. Fascist countries like Denmark, Germany and Canada often get called "socialist" and they have been disastrous for the reputation of socialism.

You are certainly American but that's especially stupid, is it a troll?

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

try asking a real question and you might learn something

Or pour hot mountian dew down your computer so we don't have to see your posts anymore

[–] Misconduct@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

But why hot though? What if it's just room temperature?

Stop thinking your identity is an excuse to deny genocide and grow up

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you are literally denying a genocide right now

I might have confused who was arguing which position. To be clear if you said there wasn't a genocide against first nation people in America and Canada that would be genocide denial

No Hexbear would ever say that. Our Canada flag is kkkanada

Does he think i was defending Canada????

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think he might have gotten you mixed up with the lib you were arguing with.

[–] Gelamzer@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It takes less time check username/profile picture than to call me a genocide denier

I did think it was strange

[–] Gelamzer@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How was it not obvious that I was not denying genocide

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I apologise that was a poor reading comprehension moment on my part

[–] Gelamzer@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

I have no idea what his problem is

[–] Gelamzer@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

What genocide am i denying

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Of course /s. Germany, with Fuhrer Schultz, Denmark with Grand Admiral Frederiksen (I had to look it up lmao), and Canada with Supreme Commander Trudeau. All of them are actively involved in passing legislation against socialists and Muslims. All of them are involved in gathering Muslims into re-education camps. When socialists protested their respective governments for starting to become capitalist, they were run over by tanks. Also, all of these governments prevent their citizens from accessing the internet outside their own countries. Agreed! Very fascist indeed!

Dayum... That's shameful for Denmark. As for the German far right, polls tell many different stories. The German government is still very democratic. What about Canada? You also accused them of fascism.

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I would agree that the German government is the most decent in Western Europe. But the far right and anti-refugee sentiment in Germany has risen dramatically, and it wasn't that great to begin with.

But just to add a few more examples, you have places like Italy, Spain (the current government is still a direct descendant of Franco's fascist monarchy) and France (see latest laws against Muslims and Arabs, and just the rising hatred in general).

The point is, Western Europe is always painted as this morally superior place, when it is very much not. People are quick to shit talk third world countries as if we're the only ones dealing with fascistic governments. At least we acknowledge it. So many Europeans do not.
