Why is there always one?

Antideutschers 🫩

I've fallen out with some of my German cousins. because I'm an anti Semite for not supporting everything the far right government does in Israel.

Ironically, these people are also strongly anti AFD.

don't really get it.

fascism disguised/being sold as historical guilt and empathy for the "Jewish people"

Controversial take: you shouldn't have institutional rape. Anyone who riots for their right to rape is maybe not good.

Zionists: fuck you, you're hamas!

OP, can you link some examples of "random Germans on Lemmy" defending Israel? Should be easy if you claim "there's always one"?

No, this is strictly shit posting and subtooting to vent frustration. I'm not going to make a bunch of random Germans into targets. I usually try to engage in good faith and help change perspective. Targeting people like that would be counter to that.
- So you target an entire nation instead.

I see many germans like this everyday. Shame to share the same soil

One day I hope you at least don't need to share the same side of the soil as them

Seems unnecessarily divisive. You could apply this template to practically any group of groups. But, ya know... go team!

Which teams? The critisism of genocide team and the... progenocide team?
- Not sure if you're being purposely obtuse or you truly don't understand. I say, "Go team!"... and you're displaying exactly what I'm talking about
  I bet we'd be friends if we both dropped the shit
I think it's because everyone expects Germans to know better. And it's pretty sad when it looks like the lesson that was learnt wasn't "subjugation and genocide of a targeted demographic is bad" but instead "criticism of Israel is bad".
People expect it from magas and religious nutters but not from Germans in 2025.
- I appreciate the explanation. It still seems unnecessarily divisive though. If one had no context at all, this meme would just come off as "all Germans bad" or "all Germans are (insert one's perception)". Internalization of reactionary media isn't rational, and this just seems to throw fuel on a fire that doesn't even exist
  People are just people at the end of the day, and some are less informed or more hateful than others, wherever you go. No need to create an outgroup in order to condemn something inherently evil
If condemnation of apartheid and genocide is divisive, then maybe that's a useful division to bring to the foreground. I don't understand what it is that you see as the problem here. Can you explain?
- You can and should condemn apartheid and genocide; but who is the "random German on Lemmy"? Are Germans bad? Is there a specific user you're referring to, or are you casting a wide net and making "Germans" an outgroup? Maybe I don't get it, but it looks like you're condemning one thing at the expense of another... and that's unnecessarily divisive to me if your only goal was to bring something into the foreground of conversation. Can you explain what your meme means?

Is there an article giving context and outcome of that picture?
