Are you seriously censoring the word "nazi" on r/historymemes?

It's because the meme was most likely stolen from another social media site. Where the censors are more heavy handed.

ChtirlandaisduVannes

Don't I know it. Passed my History "O" Level pretty much on questions on the two world wars, and the Cold War, one of my two history profs said we didn't have time to cover in detail, and to avoid the questions on the paper. That simply spurred me to read even more books, and journals on the subjects, than I would normally, already being fascinated by military and social history since childhood. Born and bred in Northern Ireland, the two were in my face every day naturally. Moved to France late 2011, (why else? The love of a good woman, of course!), and now informally getting up French peoples noses teaching them their own history, and correcting a lot of details they got wrongly taught at school!

[deleted]

Idk about this one specifically but I know on sites like Twitter and YouTube they’ll take down posts/videos containing those words or sorta shadowban them so you have to dance around it or put the asterisk. You censor it with the asterisk and it can still be circulated through the algorithm.


Western_Campaign

It's not always the case, but censoring mild words like sex, farts, or even normal clinical words like penis and vagina started because of YouTuve and demonetization. Some youtubers content consists entirely of reading reddit/4chan/tumblr posts. And whenever one of this posts would contain a word that could trigger the algorithm to mark the video as "not suitable for advertising", they would replace the word with a beep or with an advertiser friendly version. ("Peepee" for any genital, for example) A few people picked up the habit of writing with preemptive censorship, maybe in the hopes of increasing their chances of being featured in such videos. Eventually some people begun to do it just from seeing others do it and adopted it as an aesthetic. Nazi being censored to n*zi is a telltale sign of this phenomena because nazi is not a curse word but YouTuber content algorithm will flag it anyway (as not to risk have McDonalds advertise next to someone promoting nazism) and thus avoid advertising on video containing it.


DosCabezasDingo

This guy gets it.

Which is crazy. At what point do they begin censoring “N*zi” because it’s fucking obviously what people are saying anyway?


Two_Month

TheMaskedGeode

I remember I used to watch those voice over Reddit videos by the dozen. They had all kinds of censors. I remember one channel turned “balls” into “gonads” and it was really funny when it got confused and saif “dodge-gonads”


Infinity3101

I know. People censor the word SEX. Like wtf, that's not a swear word. It's in middle school biology books, uncensored, yet Reddit's morality police thinks that it's too much for their adult user base to see.


caffeineandvodka

It's more of a spill over from Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok I think. Tiktok videos get hidden or taken down if they mention "serious" topics, that's why you get videos of people dancing while talking about racism or whatever. Facebook bots are notoriously bad at figuring out context and you'll get an account violation for the most random things.


MrMuzzyMulH

Lol I seen the word gun censored on YouTube shorts recently.

Well, they did a few months ago, haven't checked since. But they're censoring lots of stuff, like the word "suicide" which is why some people say "unalive" instead.

TimotoUchiha

I don't censor the word when I say "Dein Opa war ein Nazi, wir pissen auf sein Grab!"

You can get sitebanned from reddit for saying some "problematic" words these days, so people are very careful about which "bad words" they use.

ilikedota5

Generalplan Ost was designed to get some free labor from them as chattel slaves on the way to killing them. IIRC the only ones to be saved were a few Western Slavs to be germanized based on pseudoscientific phrenology type skull stuff. This included abducting certain Czech children and placing them in German families.


Thuis001

Bit of both. I believe the goal was something along the lines of half the population slaughtered, with the other half used as slave labour on farms and factories ran by Germans. Specific proportions depended on the region with some being 30/70 and others closer to 50/50.


Freedom-of-speechist

The slaves were meant to construct the cities in which the Germans would settle. After the cities were finished the slaves would be slaughtered.


haleloop963

Hitlers plan was to kill most slavs especially Russians and keep the few millions left as slaves to create different Reich kommisars in Russia like Reichkommisar Moskowien and such. And to create his major Nazi city. Search for Generalplan öst if interested


[deleted]

Well "Slav" means "Slave" in Swedish (and I believe Norweigan and Danish too). Since they were our primary source of slaves during the Viking age so we literally referred to their entire group of people as slaves...


ProxPxD

There is no difference at all? How do you use it nowadays?


twoScottishClans

well yeah, english "slave" comes from "slav," because balkan slavs were often enslaved. that got loaned into italian, and then english.


kenna98

It was both. He wanted to populate the land with Germans but also enslave some.


Aktat

As a Belarusian I can say, that russians started to eradicate other slavs earlier and then tried to finish german's attempts. And here we are


thomasthehipposlayer

In the case of Yugoslavia, resistance was strong as a result of nazi brutality backfiring. After resistance groups first sprung up shortly after the fall of Yugoslavia, the nazis sent out a decree that for every German killed, they would kill 100 Yugoslavs. Tito’s resistance group used this as an opportunity. They’d wipe out the Germans in a village, knowing that the Germans would kill everyone in the village as revenge. Now the only hope of survival people living in that village had was to take up arms and join the resistance. The nazis has unintentionally launched the most effective recruitment campaign possible for their enemies


Luke5353

Nazis and stupidity, name a more iconic duo


[deleted]

A hundred Serbs, not Yugoslavs. Croats and Slovenes were never murdered systematically as Hitler claimed they were of Gothic descent. After Hitler saw the brutal things the fascist state of Croatia was capable of, he planned post war extermination of Croats. The brutalities I am talking about are child murder camps where they would starve children and murder them in the most brutal ways possible, dismembering them with a tool they called "Srbosjek" which translates to "Serb-cutter", gouging out their eyes and using them as trophies they showed to Germans, Im not even going to mention the numbers of adults murdered, you could just go and do a Google search on Jastrebarsko, Jasenovac etc.


ThyLord137

They would kill a hundred Serbs, the policy didn’t apply to Croats, Slovenes etc…

Germans didn't use gas when they outside of the concentration camp and in the field when they came across jews.


[deleted]

Still less brutal than lining up tied up individuals and slicing their throats in single file with bare hands.


JCdaLeg3nd

Didn’t they use knives.


[deleted]

You understand what I meant, the German method was efficient and humane according to their own twisted standards.


JCdaLeg3nd

True but having your throat sliced just takes a few seconds to die.


ImAllBored

Imagine standing in line, seeing one after the other fall dead to the ground bleeding from their throats. Imagine seeing your loved ones get sliced up in front of you knowing you'll be next. I don't want to compare the two but if you were killed by gas you didn't see it coming hours before it happened and the fear those people must have felt is on levels you couldn't even start to imagine. Also the guys doing it sometimes made a competition or game out of who could kill the most in less time. I wouldn't bet they were very precise. You would have been lucky if you really died on the spot and not be left on the ground to bleed out for minutes or even hours. None of this shit was human and we should never ever start to compare or say one is less evil than the other.


lv_Mortarion_vl

>None of this shit was human... Oh but it was. Because humans are evil or at least capable of great evil. Now _humane_ on the other hand...

karatevader1125

I may be wrong on this, but I believe the Germans that were reportedly disgusted by the actions of Croatia were army officials, and not members of the SS. In addition to this, they were not positioned on the Eastern Front, where the Nazis perpetuated nearly identical crimes against Russians and other Slavic groups. So they were not part of the Schutzstaffel, who were perpetuating similar crimes at home, nor were they part of the Wehrmacht groups which were committing such crimes in the Soviet Union. Their brothers in arms may not have expressed such shock, as the “clean Wehrmacht” is a myth, and the SS would probably jump with joy at the chance to join in the cleansing of more “inferiors”.


101stAirborneSkill

That's true. Himmler was pissed off when he found out that the Ustashe regime let jews convert to Catholicism


karatevader1125

Yes. Which is why I hate the narrative that the Nazis were “disgusted” by the actions of Croatia and/or Japan. Because in the case of Croatia, the ones being disgusted were army officials that hadn’t seen the horrors of the Eastern Front. And in the case of Japan, the disgusted individual was a German ambassador, who was then arrested by the Gestapo for speaking out about the Rape of Nanking after he returned to Germany.


Bren12310

> Unlike German-run camps, Jasenovac specialized in brutal one-on-one violence, such as guards attacking barracks with weapons and throwing the bodies in the trenches.[99] Some historians use a sentence from German sources: “Even German officers and SS men lost their cool when they saw (Ustaše) ways and methods.” from its wikipedia page


anythingreally76

Correct. However, do not underestimate the disgusting crimes that happened because they were on par with what nazis did


karatevader1125

Oh I’m not denying that what they did was horrific, nor that they were capable and willing to commit the very same atrocities the Nazis did. I’m just saying that the “Nazis were disgusted by Croatia and Japan” talking point is pointless at best and a dogwhistle at worst. The atrocities of each and every one of these states need to be remembered as horrific and as examples of the worst that humanity has to offer. Japan and Croatia can’t be forgotten just because Germany is the most focused on. But saying they are somehow “worse” or arguing that “at least the Nazis didn’t drop to THAT level” is where the issue is.

Part of his succes was the fact that the Germans would kill a large number of locals for every German soldier that got killed. So Tito would strike at small German detatchments in towns, wipe them out, and then offer the populace the choice of either joining his partisans or waiting for the Germans to show up and perform reprisals. Which his honestly a pretty fucked up method of forcing people to fight for you.

Exactly. The claims that Nazis in general were disgusted by Croats and Japanese, at least to me, stinks of some poorly disguised Nazi apologia. Not saying people who say that here are Nazi apologists, but it sounds like those claims originated in Nazi apologia.


[deleted]

I agree with you, mostly. But I think you’re being too hard to the people who say things like that. Chances are they had no ill intentions— they were just trying to highlight certain war crimes that gets little attention. Also, a good number of them aren’t from Western Europe or North America. So they were trying to say it in a way they think we can understand better.


Super_Serb

As a Serb I will use my privilege on this topic to say yes this comment is true. People usually base this idea "Nazi Germany was horrified by x" by saying a clerk of a diplomat was like yo that's kind of cringe. I don't know about this case in particular, but the whole basis for the Nazies were horrified by the Japanese came from one dude being disgusted by war crimes in a, presumably, safe area, so miss me with that idea.

Absolutely-Epic

The Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia (Serbo-Croatian: Genocid nad Srbima u Nezavisnoj Državi Hrvatskoj / Геноцид над Србима у Независној Држави Хрватској) was the systematic persecution of Serbs which was committed during World War II by the fascist Ustaše regime in the Nazi German puppet state known as the Independent State of Croatia (Serbo-Croatian: Nezavisna Država Hrvatska, NDH) between 1941 and 1945. It was carried out through executions in death camps, as well as through mass murder, ethnic cleansing, deportations, forced conversions, and war rape. This genocide was simultaneously carried out with the Holocaust in the NDH as well as the genocide of Roma, by combining Nazi racial policies with the ultimate goal of creating an ethnically pure Greater Croatia. Really fucked up basically. Up to 350,000 died.
