History never repeats itself but it rhymes

I think the message would be stronger without the ai art

Yeah, like most such memes I stole it from another post, and as I was looking at it after submitting it hit me that it had that look. Sincerely sorry.
- It's getting better which is scary. Lately it's harder for me to tell if it's ai. There are still things by which you can tell but it's getting harder to spot.
What! How could you tell!?? /s

lol the American west guys were not just like “I’m just following orders” they were like “lets murder all these native people it’s awesome.” Let’s not whitewash that shitty part of our history, fellow whites.

The Nazis and ICE were and are the same way, they just try to paint it in a different picture to not look like a bad guy.
- Ok, very fair point.
I think that's the point, it's not "just follow order", they're okay with it. It's the banality of evil.
same for the others honestly. 'i was just following orders' is just what one says when you get called out for doing heinous shit so you can pass the buck to someone else in your organization.
It’s not just white people who were “just following orders”
"fellow whites", as if people alive today had anything to do with it. That's racism, and I hope you can do better.
- Shut up forever with that bullshit.
- And yet we benefit from it every single day all the same, while throwing out hands up and screaming "that isn't on me!"
  We're not responsible for what happened to them then, but we are responsible in what we do about it now. Turning away that responsibility while continuing to reap the benefits is racism.
- Did you even read the rest of that sentence?
- Yes, because inherited benefits make a mockery of meritocracy, which is the mechanism through which we tell people they got what they deserve and that we use as a shield when people tell us we need to share. "No, I merited it"

Ah yes, the famous german "4."

low effort post, please understand
- Don't mind the anti-ai police They are just following orders you Lemmy shitpost isn't for low effort content you see. They're not against your message of course, where did you get thatidea?

None of them are just following orders. All of them take great enjoyment in what they do.

Exactly, even in nazi Germany soldiers could refuse to kill civilians without very harsh consequences. Those who did, enjoyed doing it.

  Tell that to my dead great uncle. Who was a conscript (german soldier), shot and killed on a train transporting people to concentration camps.
- Permission to be bad seduces most people

Interesting how the AI flop made the first guy hold his hair

This is not a shitpost.

In the 1830s they were doing that shit in the southeast: Georgia, Carolinas, Alabama, and so on. They didn't really get going clearing the "west" until after the war and into the twentieth century. Geronimo surrendered for the last time in the 1880s, and he died in 1909 as a POW at Ft. Sill. Oklahoma had gained statehood only two years before, in 1907.

No one joins ICE to be a good person.

you forgot to add the chinese concentration camps to your AI slop image

Why are they all hot?

Generative AI is the tool of the enemy, we don't need it.

Not sure comparing genocides with deportation is adequate. The two first were a lot worse.

Also where is the poster depicting Israeli soldiers killing Palestinian children?
- Now this is a genocide, or at least comes closer to the other two
If you don't recognize that we're just at the start, sure.
- I don't think it's going to happen. The USA is crazy right now, but not this much.
Yeah, this is ignorant as hell

Hmmm that refreshing smell of holocaust trivialization in the morning...

Nop, it just smells like you are wrong.
As Whitman shows, the Nuremberg Laws were crafted in an atmosphere of considerable attention to the precedents American race laws had to offer. German praise for American practices, already found in Hitler’s Mein Kampf, was continuous throughout the early 1930s, and the most radical Nazi lawyers were eager advocates of the use of American models. But while Jim Crow segregation was one aspect of American law that appealed to Nazi radicals, it was not the most consequential one. Rather, both American citizenship and antimiscegenation laws proved directly relevant to the two principal Nuremberg Laws—the Citizenship Law and the Blood Law. Whitman looks at the ultimate, ugly irony that when Nazis rejected American practices, it was sometimes not because they found them too enlightened, but too harsh.
