    As a poly person: no, it is not a “affiar-tolerant monogamy”. That is an open relationship.

    Polyamorous partnerships are far more committed. Also, sex is not always a part of it.

    Of course there is the concept of a primary partner, but there are lot of poly folks that thislike this idea.

    But what all of those relationships have in common: there is no case where only one partner is poly. All is about communication and consent.

    And to the core topic: There is this thing like a polycule. A network of people with somehow connected relationships. Breakups in those structures are often consensual and no big fuzz. But if it gets dirty, at least in my experience, the offending member of the polycoule gets shown the door. And most of the times, those are the new ones. People that think the could convince their partner to get monogamous because they are the only one that is needed.

    Sorry for the long post, you hit a nerve there ;)






  • Erst mal: Viel Spaß!

    Ich hab als Rocktragender CIS Mann in meiner Jugend auf dem Dorf auch die ein oder andere Erfahrung gemacht.

    Ich kann lange Mäntel nur empfehlen. Je nach Rock Länge, könnte auch ein langer Puli oder eine lange Jacke helfen.

    Und, den Trick kenne ich von einer Trans-Freundin: Wanderock. Eine Seite schwarz, die andere so bunt wie du magst.

    Feier schön!




  • I acknowledge that nobody said that.

    And I just said that the current state is not comparable, not yet. The Holocaust started 1940. We are in the precursor though, I never said anything else.

    We are on the way to something that can be get as bad as the Holocaust, for sure.

    And I don’t see any issue comparing it. But the current comparsion is trivializing what happens 1940 and can happen in the near future again.

    And again; that is my perspective and the perspective of some Germans is spoke to over exactly this thread. This does not mean that you should not make those comparisons!

    You should be aware about the fact that you will offend people, and, that such memes can be as a matter of fact violating law in some countries. Not this one, but one should know this.

    That is all.

    And to your last part: 100% on the nose. See, if people start thinking, the the current state is comparable to 1940, then we are fucked. Because 1940 is described as the worsed genocide of the modern world.

    And especially Americans misused the word and trivialized the Holocaust. So maybe I am overly sensitive ok this one.

    I cite Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor:

    I cannot use [the word ‘Holocaust’] anymore. First, because there are no words, and also because it has become so trivialized that I cannot use it anymore. Whatever mishap occurs now, they call it ‘holocaust.’ I have seen it myself in television in the country in which I live. A commentator describing the defeat of a sports team, somewhere, called it a ‘holocaust.’ I have read in a very prestigious newspaper published in California, a description of the murder of six people, and the author called it a holocaust. So, I have no words anymore.

    I always said this will offend SOME Germans.

    And I never said that this is not a death camp. I never declined the similarities to early nazi Germany.

    You are making this shit up in your hat. Come on!

    I said, multiple times, that we are not at this Ausschwitz stage YET.

    And if you are already using this imagery now, what will you use if we reach this stage?

    I responded to a very specific comment.

    I acknowledge the need and the status quo.

    Of course i am not expressing concern. I do not express concern for people i do not know, that is not how my brain works.

    I am concerned about where the road may be leading. I am concerned that 50% of Americans voted for this orange mini hitler.

    I am concerned that comparison like this may hide how bad Hitler and the NS regime really was, and therfore how bad it could get.

    I am concerned for all of us not just for a few. Because if this goes the Adolf way, we are all done.

    I am concerned that, IF Donald fails, the next one comes and is successful.

    I am concerned that the American people will not fix their political system that enables this in the first place. Because every mention of this leads to offended comments by Americans because, how dare I, critizing the US two party system, the winner takes it all, and the immense power the president has.

    I AM concerned. I don’t need to express this. Thoughts an prayer is American pseudo solidarity, not something that will help.

    Because the USA have something Hitler didn’t: fucking nukes.

    I am not saying this. I just explained a perspective. What is up with you folks?

    Really?

    Ok, let’s be 100% clear here. I am offended. Yes. Maybe because my grand grand parents died in (grand grand dad) or afterwards due (grand grand mother) Ausschwitz. They where there as political prisoners because they didn’t share the regimes opinion.

    And because this, I fully understand “your” side. I am not offended by the author or any individual.

    And I can overcome this feeling, knowing your perspective.

    But let’s do a little game: i share an opinion. And opinion that is not yours. And what are you doing? Dismissal and “punishment”. See any correlation? This is a risky game, that for sure must be played, with high stakes. You may feel the need for such edgy content. And you surely need provocative, over the top, content to raise awareness.

    Sure, it is offending me, and the initial commentor. But nobody is prohibited to like or share this, and I have no issues with the people they do.

    What damn rules? What the hell are you talking about? I just shared a perspective! I explained why some may react in a negative way to this meme.

    Please, help me out here: what to you think I have “rules” for exactly?

    There are is one single rule, and that is neither by me nor is it relevant for the argument. And that is the the term Holocaust is the name for the exact event that startet 1940 with the mass execution of jews. There will be no “other” or “second” Holocaust. It is a proper noun.

    So comparing anything to the Holocaust must happen under this premises.

    And I just pointed out, that the meme itself does this comparison, most likely inadvertently. And some Germans may react offended.

    That’s all. I don’t day you should not upvote, share, or use this. I just shared a point of view.

    So, again, what rules?
