Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Somehow read invertebrate, which kinda checks out given that arse doesn’t have a spine.

Evil is a great preservative. Take trump for instance, he has a diet of pure sodium and will probably live till 90.

She lived through the war?? I take it she wasn't one of the Germans the Americans took to the camps and rubbed their noses in the genocide then. I'm also pretty sure she wasn't on the Russian occupied side, considering she lived to 96 and not 16

She was the widow of a Nazi party leader.

And she knew we knew she knew.

Just too proud of a bitch to admit to having been on the wrong side of anything.

Like >60% of humanity suffer from that, at least. 100% of people some time, some people 100% of the time.

Oh right I forgot Nazis are just fuckin trolls. She knew what they did and was only disappointed they couldn't do more. Shame they didn't let ladies fight on the eastern front.

What difference would it make? Holocaust deniers don't actually think it didn't happen.

Well this first generation, yeah, but I have met some very ignorant rednecks in my day...before the internet when they all got online. Some of them thought it was just something they made up for the movies, probably because they were raised by actual racists.

I don't believe she's actually dead

[–] AbouBenAdhem 9 points 3 months ago

She didn’t die; she’s just fine. It’s all a tenacious lie!

[–] Atin 7 points 3 months ago

I hope she suffered
