This can only end well in the same way nazi g*rmany was dealt with. Fascists can't be stopped by words, they don't share basic ethical values and see other people as subhuman. It's a shame, really. But what other way of stopping this social perversion is there?

Nazi Germany wasn't even dealt with. It was integrated into the US NATO apparatus. De-nazification is a myth, the Nuremberg Trials were a limited hangout only done at the insistence of Stalin.

If you want to know how to actually decolonize and denazify, you instead have to look at how DPRK handled Japanese and American collaborators via the Songbun system. Those who betrayed the country are expressly blocked and forbidden from gaining any political or economic power for the rest of their lives, their families also blocked until they prove that they are loyal revolutionaries through service and deed.

If you go to public school in Germany you are literally taught that one of the main factors for the rise of nazism was that pro-monarchy judges from the German Empire got to keep their government offices in the Weimar Republic and blocked all social progress they possibly could

You are also taught that the Red Army Faction demanding ex-nazi officials shouldn't keep their offices was unreasonable and evil shrug-outta-hecks

You are right, I was thinking mostly about East Germany, the west was a joke. Thanks for providing the example of Korea, I didn't know how it was handled in the north, only that occupied South Korea kept the same korean military police from the japanese era.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
