90 years ago today: On May 6th, 1933, Nazis stormed, looted, and burned Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science, Europe's center of queer and trans culture. I colorized these gruesome photos to point out this wasn't that long ago. People alive today can remember these events. We will not go back.

this is the third fuckin time today i've seen people throw the "queer people were killed during the holocaust too shut up" shit at jewish folks so i will say it ONE MORE FUCKING TIME because i am TIRED OF THIS: the reason queer and trans people were targeted by the nazis is because the nazis were antisemitic. the nazis believed that any and all societal "degeneration", including queer people, was caused by jewish people and judaism in general.
cw nazism, shoah, discussions of shoah, transphobia, discussions of mein kampf and hitler's worldview, discussion of nazi legal theory, etc below the cut
the entire fucking reason that queer and trans folks were targeted by the nazi regime is because they were seen as a direct representation of the impact of jewish people on aryan society. magnus hirschfeld, who founded the institute for sexual science, was a jewish man. that is not a fucking accident.
hitler believed that the world was solely ruled by the quote-unquote law of the jungle; that is, people had to suppress any tendency for mercy or compassion in themselves and take what they wanted to survive. carl schmitt, a nazi legal theorist, believed that "politics arose not from history or concepts but our sense of enmity; our racial enemies were chosen by nature, and our task was to struggle and kill and die." (quote from black earth by timothy snyder.) hitler believed that jewish people who "introduced the false distinction between politics and nature, between humanity and struggle. . . . [that] ideas of political reciprocity, practices in which humans recognize other humans as [human], came from jews." (id.)
to the nazis, recognizing trans people and queer people and queer identities was a distinctly jewish idea. which is not to say it's not impossible that nazis would have targeted queer people without the antisemitism component, but their rhetoric was always interwoven with antisemitism and antisemitic racial hygiene arguments. you cannot separate the murders of queer and trans people during the holocaust from antisemitism. that violence was born from it.

So I’m listening to The History of the Second World War podcast rn. One of the things that made me do so was the fact that it spent three years on the run-up to the war, going into detailed examinations of the situation in many of the countries involved, the Spanish Civil War etc etc.
I’ve been furiously angry recently at people using the language of social justice to muddy the water against people calling out their actions and to attempt to cast themselves as victims while engaging in violence against marginalised people. I’ve pointed particularly at Gender Crits and at the State of Israel in this.
I studied appeasement in Higher History at school, but it never dived into the detail of primary sources the way this podcast did. And, being fair, I was a kid; that’s the year I turned 16. It was a long time ago and I knew a lot less then.
I *knew* that Hitler had used the excuse of ethnic German populations for Nazi invasions of other states, but I hadn’t heard the full detail of his speeches. The very explicit accusations of violence and persecution against ethnic Germans (I’m using this to mean people who spoke German dialects and had some kind of German cultural historical connection; I want to make it fucking *clear* that I am really interested in ideas of ethnogenesis and ethnicity as a cultural phenomenon without even *remotely* endorsing his *abhorrent* ideas about race) in these places while he and his government were systemically and overtly engaging in incredibly brutal persecution of this kind against Jewish folk and, to a lesser, but still “intermittently murdering people in the streets” extent, anyone they didn’t consider “ethnic Germans” in both Germany and everywhere they conquered.
The open, shameless projection of what they were openly and overtly doing themselves onto their victims.
And the worst fucking thing was that it *worked*, then. As it’s still working now.
I thought this active and purposeful appropriation of the language of human rights to justify violence and prevent them being opposed by others by bigots and oppressors was a reasonably new phenomenon. It turns out it absolutely isn’t. This began right after the first time language about things like ethnonational self-determination was first used on an institutional level. It’s never really existed on a scale where it could be used to empower populations without being twisted.
I don’t have a giant conclusion about this, btw; I write to fully process thoughts, feelings and ideas a lot.
I do feel this should mean a massive expansion in critical awareness when people use such language to justify their actions; “in what *way* do you support x people *but*?“ “You say you don’t hate x people but what I’m hearing is that you support actions that will absolutely involve widespread and potentially fatal violence against them/massively impact their human rights in x way: I need more information to clarify your position here”.
And yeah, a lot of this is aimed at people in positions of systemic power or authority at least as much as individuals; I’ve been somewhat on the end of institutions engaging so shallowly with rights-based language recently that it has absolutely highlighted how these tactics work and how they are used to entrench existing structures of power and abuse.

Oh
oh no
I just understood why they made Hughes a Nazi in Conqueror of Shamballa and I hate how much it makes sense and is also kind of a horribly poignant peek into him as a character
because, in both worlds, Hughes enthusiastically threw his support behind someone planning a violent coup
Like, the implication here is that he has legitimate gripes with the government and is willing to support someone who seems motivated to do something about it.
It's horrible seeing him be a racist, xenophobic, antisemitic asshole in Germany.
But the fact of the matter is ... he was racist in Amestris too. Being in the Amestrian military during the Ishbal genocide and having all of his friends be traumatized over their own direct part in it doesn't stop Hughes from judging the handful of Ishbalans that make appearances.
Even if you argued that German!Hughes was much more bigoted than Amestrian!Hughes, or at least was more vocal about it, then that begs the question of how an intelligent, empathetic man like him could have been convinced that all of Germany's ills were the fault of anyone they considered "non-Germans" just existing in Germany?
But again, this is also the man who was convinced to just go along with Mustang's plan to recruit an eleven year old to the military in a capacity that would have said eleven year old committing genocide the second Bradley found another enclave of brown people he didn't like.
Like, do I think they probably had a Conversation about how fucked up it was off-screen? Yes. But A) we didn't see that conversation if it did happen; and B) even if it did, Hughes still very much did just go along with it.

In the wake of the latest james somerton half assed apology, I would like to say that I will never forgive him for saying that 1. Stalin killed more people than Hitler which is blatantly untrue even if you include nazi deaths on the eastern front. and 2. that nazis were sexier than soviets. Not cause I think soviets are particularly sexy, but like why would you admit to being attracted to THE NAZIS???

I’m so disappointed by Netflix’s All the Light We Cannot See, and not just because they butchered Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning story. It’s because their portrayal of the Nazis is actually dangerous.
Doerr’s Nazi Party is a persistent indoctrinating force that wields fear with such intense subtlety even the (non-Jewish) German characters who know they’re being indoctrinated go along anyway, because it is the air they breathe and the water they swim in. It’s frightening and it’s real.
Netflix’s Nazis are 2-dimensional villains drunk off their own power and just oozing with Evil™️. All it took to defeat them was a handful of good guys who stood for Truth™️ and beauty (and also the Americans). I hate it so much. This mythologizing of the Nazis doesn’t only make for overdramatic television — it rampantly spreads the dangerous lie that “it couldn’t happen here.” Because it can. And it is.

TW: Mentions of N*zis and m*rder
Plural Culture is watching a 60's sitcom about a WWII POW camp and making the joke "haha what if we got X character as a fictive" and ending up both with said character AND THE FUCKING N*ZI.
Not to mention that we got a factive of said character's actor... who, in 1978, was apparently un-alived in an apartment complex less than a mile from where our progenitor lived when we were a kid.

idk i think the inability to engage with the possibility that you might unknowingly befriend nazis + the way people instantly went to attack-mode at the prospect of that... i think it shows something.

Twitter: "Pipkin Pippa is a Nazi!"
Me, a moderate leftist: Pippa is not a Nazi. She has not been shown to support Nazis nor does she display any traits that would indicate that she is a Nazi besides you thinking using 4chan is an indication of being a Nazi somehow. Also, Phase Connect is a Canadian company. I'd highly doubt that they would let an actual Nazi be a member of their agency.
It's especially hilarious that idiots on Twitter call her a Nazi, unaware that she is very blatantly anti-authoritarian, anti-state, and anti-censorship, which is the complete opposite of what Nazis are. Accusing people of being Nazis when you have no idea what they are actually like and you just get your information from Reddit or Twitter or some shit actually waters down the meaning of Nazi. Please educate yourself.
Those idiots on Twitter should just admit that they are just calling people Nazis for clout. I blame Vaush for starting this. That asshole I also hate for other reasons, too.
Sorry for being more political on here than usual. I just thought my Pippa blog would be a really good spot to defend her.
This is what made me make this post:

Whenever you hear me defending Saul Goodman, you gotta understand the context I'm working with here. Stuff that wasn't mentioned within the show.
The Bar Association has let so many neo-nazis become lawyers IRL! Chuck isn't wrong to worry about "chimps with machine guns" but compared to the right-wing think-tanks who are actively trying to overthrow democracy, Jimmy was harmless.
Besides, I'm not evaluating Jimmy as a man with his own morals. As Kim's toady, he's an 8/10. I do think he's pathetic, in the same way I found Howard pathetic, but Jimmy is pathetic in a way which serves my agenda.

(Nazis, known for co-opting imagery as dog whistles, especially images that coincide with their ideals such as the punisher logo)
Skullgirls Team: let’s remove the Nazi imagery to distance ourselves from the Nazis
Dweebs: Actually 1984 what do you mean; you lost your soul you woke fags. Go woke go broke!

On the topic of Tintin backstories
Ok look it's midnight so this will be dumb Bea ramblings but I've discovered that you can ramble on this website and no one bays an eye, so-
There are many may many many many many MANY different possibilities for Tintin and his childhood cause WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN NOTHING ON THE LAD (we don't even know his NAME for heavens sake-)
So, as per usual, I had made up about 49762.
Not actually, but it feels like it.
Anyway here they are, or at least some of them
As is rather common with the fandom, (and the majority of these headcanon,) he's an orphan. The fun thing is HOW he became an orphan and the result of that. One of the most basic ideas I had was him losing his parents tragically at a young age, probably in a house fire or something of the sort and living in an orphanage or a children's home with nothing but half of his name, hence the name Tintin. It's not a pleasant ride and he ditches at like 13 (It's 1945, it's a wild time an no one is batting an eye at a 13 year old renting an apartment because the world just tried to kill itself this is nothing)
Other possibilities include losing his dad in the early stages of WW2 and his mother later on, whether it's by a bomb (I have two different bomb scenarios,) or by the Nazis directly because WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GOOD HISTORICAL MOMENT IN HERE (also if he did lose his mother to the Nazis, it would probably be because she was helping kick Nazi butt, which suits Tintin's character quite well if you ask me)
Spiralling on from the bomb ideas, Tintin and mother trying to escape occupied Belgium, bombing raid on refugees, shellshocked Tintin who's gone amnesiac because of the trauma trying to navigate the UK (yes it's a fic I'm writing)
Now where did Tintin learn to completely kick butt? The Belgian resistance in ww2, obviously. Could also be how he gets into reporting as well because there were a bunch of undercover newspapers (and Le Faux Soir which was such a passive aggressive act honestly), but also in the ACTUAL resistance cause there were quite a fee schoolboys who helped out. Also, small kid with a lot of spunk who's witty, intelligent and completely unfazed by everything except spiders? Yeah he's perfect, no one would suspect him. He'd do amazing in the Belgian resistance, and so he decides to keep kicking evils butt after the war too. (Also could be how he learnt how to operate a radio...)(little Tintin hiding in an attic somewhere decoding a message coming through the radio is such a powerful image for me LITTLE TINTIN RADIOING THE BRITISH FOR THE FAIX SOIR CAMPAIGN AH- THE ANXIETY-)
Stemming off from the resistance idea, Tintin discovering that he's wanted by the Gestapo for some resistance activity (probably the 20th convoy incident because where there's a train going wrong there's a tintin) and sneaking into France because no one would think that a 12/13 year old would so casually run across the border like that... Anyway- Tintin joining the much larger resistance in Paris, Tintin joining one of the Maquis after the raids in Paris on the resistance, Tintin running around the French countryside with a beret and a gun causing absolute chaos for the Nazis... thats a fun thought honestly. (Also when Tintin interviews a pilot??? And American pilot who crashes and they just adopt into their Maquis?)
ANYWAY, GOING BACK TO ORPHAN TINTIN: Moves in with an emotionally/mentally abusive uncle who makes him feel as though he is worthless and not good enough- Tintin unconsciously believes that even when he thinks he's over it all because when he fails on one of his cases he just keeps posing and pushing until he literally breaks down because if he fails then who is he? (Basically, he thinks that he's only worth a lot because of his career and fame and that if he messes up, he's worthless again and he's lost it all)
And now to a very DIFFERENT idea: Tintin's parents are alive and well but holy heck are they manipulative little millionaires who hate their son because he's too loud/obnoxious/childish/quiet/reserved (he's too everything apparently) and so he runs away CAUSE WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO WHEN YOURE AN IMPULSIVE CHILD he hates wearing an actual suit because it makes him feel like he's back there again and when Haddock makes him wear one for a silly dinner party Tintin suddenly becomes this snarky, abrasive person and Haddock is like "who are you an what have you done to my angel"
I also had a bunch of AU ideas, one of them being that he's Russian (technically ukranian but it's the Stalinist Soviet Union, so if he says that he gets shot,) and he's the very younger brother of Lyudmila Pavlichenko (I really hope I got that right) and he sneakily enlists for the Soviet army in ww2 and follows his super amazing sniper sister around and learns from her until the battle of sevastopol where he thinks she's been killed (she was just injured) and he gets captured by the Germans but RUNS AWAY and ends up wandering through Nazi-occupied, snowy Europe and eventually collapses by a road in a random country and is picked up by none other than MRS FINCH (I love her too much she + Mrs Hudson + Mrs Hall= chefs kiss) who nurses him back to health and helps him get a fake ID and teaches him French cause heck yeah is she in the resistance babyyyyyyy
I also had another AU idea where him to was born in Germany and he and his blind mother moved to live in country side Belgium after his dad gets arrested or smthing I haven't fleshed it out yet but basically they have a massive fight because he wants to know why she won't let him support his home country (I.e. Germany, I.e. Tintin's a clueless kid who doesn't understand what's happening), she's so exhausted and tired because Belgium's been occupied and she s scared and she ends up saying something about how she will always love him but there may come a point where she cannot welcome him with open arms again (implying that if he becomes a Nazi, she won't have it,) he runs off, comes back later to find that she's been taken away to "a special institution to help people in her condition" I.e. she's been taken away to get killed cause she's blind and Tintin from that point onwards is like "I'm such an idiot and I must do everything to prove to my mothers ghost that I am not a nazi" and yeah idk lol
Right I'm going to bed the end.
And yes, I have spent waaaay too many hours scouring the internet of Belgian live under German occupation (Did you know that they opened a hitlerjugend for Flemish boys in the 2nd half of the war? I did not)
If you wanna know more about the resistance things I mentioned, don't be afraid to ask, just expect a really long reply lol
