  • No, a good example would have been the Frelimo fight against the Portuguese colonialists in Mozambique that resulted in a declaration of independence and the creation of a new state.

    The example of Zimbabwe is is somewhere between that and the relatively reformist transition in South Africa, as Rhodesia (in agreement with their government) briefly reverted to being a British colony on paper to conduct elections which the previous rebel forces won and then formally declared independence from the UK.

    I find it highly slanderous to be labled a “Rhodesia lover” for simply stating historical facts. Rhodesia was a racist apartheit state I am absolutly opposed to.

    No, the rules here do not suppress such differing opinions as long as they don’t advocate for genocide (or could be easily misinterpreted as such by the german police).

    I personally agree that the German government has gone far beyond what would be reasonable in that regard, but feddit.org is not the German government. They simply try to find a minimal set of rules that do not directly endanger them of police raids in Germany and otherwise these are basic rules of respecting human rights.







  • Great, so why the big ruckus if you think so?

    Nothing stops people from participating on feddit.org communities if they don’t use thinly veiled dogwistles for such or endorse organisations that call for ethnic clensing like Hamas and use slogans popularized by them.

    Not relativising or denying the holocaust is hopefully a given, but it seems some people from other instances are also not so clear on that.
