real_squidsWhat’s up with the watermelon? Asking bc it’s a nazi-adjacent thing where I’m from
mic_check_one_twoGuessing you’re German? It is used in place of the Palestinian flag, because it has the same colors. Since Germany is terrified of being labeled antisemitic, (and Israel immediately jumps to “you’re an antisemite” whenever anyone disagrees with them,) the German government has their tongue all the way up Israel’s asshole. So the German government labeled it antisemitic, (and started trying to propagandize their population to believe so as well, by equating it with Nazis) because they don’t want any Germans making headlines by using the emoji to support Palestine.
Nope, just tired of seeing it get associated with the word “based”, bc I know who came up with that association. I think you can sorta deduce my country from that lol
That’s based!
Just don’t combine that with watermelons lol or I’ll assume you’re cool with nazis (or simply unaware). Peep the other comment, I explained it briefly
But Palestine is based too.
I hate the Hitler ate sugar trope, I will appropriate Nazi memes and use them against them all I want.
It is only as evil as the user wielding them.
True, it’s a bit hard to tell sometimes though, in other contexts that is
I generally don’t believe in inborn discrimination, I don’t like punishing people for anything that does not come about as their own actions. I also had a lot of tolerance before, but it backfired. I feel that I need to be a lot more vindicative nowadays.
I hear you 🫂
I also had a lot of tolerance before, but it backfired.
Yeah it’s like that for me too sometimes, on the internet at least
Not always, it’s the memes combining watermelons with “based” lingo, and for the most part people using them are fine, just not aware that it got started by nazis and is sometimes used as a dogwhistle
