  • The grandparents are still being held accountable for what they did, I don’t believe in descendants inheriting crimes, this is where I disagree with OP. Celebrating the grandparents in this example would be the same as celebrating the Holocaust and the people responsible for it.

    I consider society to be “dynamic”; it will change over time, and it makes more sense to make judgements of a general population based off of currently living people and how the newer generations are trending. Basing observations on a generation that is dead/will be dead within the next 15 years does not feel like it can be used to represent the current population. The changes are gradual but when you’re already generalizing large groups of people, it’s easier to break it up by what generation has done/are doing and if they are still around. There is going to be some bleed over between generations, but looking at how the newer generations are changing seems like a better way to see how a population will be changing in the long term.


  • I probably inferred too much from the post’s title, especially after I had seen previous posts with very similar titles framing Canada as being supportive of Nazis.

    While I don’t agree with OP’s stance of associating people today with people from +70 years ago, people have differing perspectives on things and my opinion is going to be based off of how much I perceive the two things to be relevant. To me, their stance would be like holding a person accountable because their grandparents destroying a building long before they were even born.


  • The issue is with conflating people from an event which occurred in the 1950s and associating it with groups of people alive currently, to me these two things are distinctly different from each other, and I wouldn’t link these two things together.

    Events related WWII feel irrelevant anything going on today, it’s been ~75 years since then and the majority of people from that time period are already dead or >90 years old. Their actions were not influenced by people born decades after the fact, and it feels incorrect to link the two groups together. Multiple generations of people have been born in that time span further distancing people from older ideologies.

    By David Pugliese Over the years some Ukrainian Canadians have staunchly defended the 14th SS Division Galicia. They have falsely claimed that Ukrainians who served in the division were conscripted, when in reality 80,000 volunteered and 13,000 were selected. Other apologists argue that the divisio…

    With the title of the article/post, and the summary shown on desktop, it looked like this was just another post associating Canada with accepting Nazis/implying that people with Ukranian nationality are Nazis due to the phrasing of the title being similar to the titles used by the lemmygrad/lemmynsfw users.

    It’s my fault for skimming the rest of the post body, it looked that was a generic image caption crediting a photographer, followed by a short paragraph copied from the article.




  • You wanna check the screenshots I provided where I searched for both “Nazi” and “Canada” in World News and could not any posts about the Canadian Parliament incident? Even this half-assed post fails to provide any actual details concerning the incident.

    It’s pretty easy to mess with people pushing an agenda when they have no argument to begin with. You’re just blatantly here to fight with people while pretending to be concerned about Nazis in Canada, your previous comments to other people here make that obvious.


  • Great, why wasn’t this the original post to begin with? Go and post it as a top-level comment so people don’t need to dig into a comment chain for context or edit your post to have that link in the body of the post.

    This is what shows up when searching World News for “Nazi” while sorted by New. There are no posts referencing Canada at all in any of the search results within the last 2 months. There is no context here in this community to make your post even remotely relevant.

    Your post is also the only one mentioning “Nazis” when searching World News for “Canada” while sorted by new. There are not a “dozen other threads” covering the topic, there isn’t even one thread mentioning it.

    The article you posted belongs in a History community as it is an old article referencing an event which occurred in the 1950s; it isn’t news. If you wanted to make a post about Canadian Parliament giving a standing ovation to a Nazi, then the article you just replied to me with should have been the original post to begin with because that is current news.

    The rules in the sidebar should be enough to tell you that your post is too old to be here. You aren’t even discussing the incident, only using it as an excuse to defend posting outdated news, and trying to attack other users when you don’t even understand why your original post is bad to begin with.


  • plead ignorance as the presence of Nazis in Canada

    If you’re going to say that there are Nazis in Canada, at least use an article written within the last 5 years.

    You couldn’t even be bothered to provide a link to an article citing incident you’re referring to in your post, as a top-level comment or even as a child-comment replying to anyone saying your 25-year-old article is too old to be posted here. You haven’t provided the context as to why the article in your post is relevant to anything, and anyone reading through that article would still have no knowledge about ‘Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation’.

    I’m also unsure why you thought posting a 25-year-old article would be considered relevant news when it makes no mention of an incident happening within the last week.



  • There are lots of reasons for for wanting to delete comments without wanting to delete any replies.

    For example in this comment, I bring up the use of macros as a solution to fix a mouse issue. If someone brought up a point that this software was against the games TOS, I would want my comment removed as fast as possible because I view my comment as potentially harmful (and from context, it would have been obvious what the deleted comment would have contained). If there were other replies giving advice on how to solder (one of the other solutions I give), I would want those replies to remain visible to anyone else viewing the post. Some people, like me, might not have been aware that deleting a comment would remove all other replies, I’ve never seen a warning message that this would happen when deleting something.

    Deleting the comment on mobile instead of editing out bad information is also a lot more likely because it’s a “one button fix”, and a lot more convenient than trying to edit the post (some apps don’t render markdown correctly, and may not display strikethrough text). With the above example, quicky deleting my comment would have been an appropriate way to remove harmful advice, and a reply warning about the use of macros and advice on how to solder would still be helpful without the context of the original comment they were replying to.




  • If you’re really into electronics/DIY, you could look at replacing the switches in your mouse. (or just trying something like contact cleaner) There are quite a few tutorials, so there’s a relatively good chance you will find one which tells you how to take apart your specific mouse. I wouldn’t attempt this if it is your only mouse, but if you’re already considering replacing it then you aren’t really worried about breaking your mouse.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jpotpIO1-U was helpful for explaining how to desolder through-hole components. And maybe look up some guides on soldering techniques. (don’t want cold solder joints).

    Other than that, I’ve seen people say they’ve used Auto Hotkey to fix the issue, some games have a very strict anti-cheat policy though so you may want to make sure a simple script adjusting debounce timings won’t cause you any issues. Also don’t go running code found on the internet unless you’re sure about what it does.
