Also, it's not that relevant but as far as I know it was never described officially as a rave for "peace". Even old promotional material doesn't.

They described it as "a journey of unity and love" as well as, I quote, a celebration of "friends, love and infinite freedom".

A celebration of infinite freedom a few hundred meters from an open air prison


If it was random, not-explicitly-nazi germans who were having a picnic outside Auschwitz and got merked by escaped prisoners, I'd still be like "yeah maybe you weren't soldiers, but "

I hate how they keep framing this as "omg peaceful party-goers just massacred by savage orcs!" totally side-stepping all of the history that's lead up to this day and why this attack happened.

everyone keeps telling me how bad I'm supposed to feel for these people. I really don't at all, maybe if you're partying a few miles from a concentration camp you deserve to be fuckin killed. people are pretending like this a new thing, musicians and performers have for decades refused to perform in Israel exactly for this reason.

the promo material for this looks like any rave anywhere else - electronica and drugs and PLUR. all good things, but let's call a spade a spade here

also I bet that if we scraped the history of the people talking about how peaceful these raves are, that we would find their previous whining and moaning about how dangerous raves are/were from back in the 90s/2000s.

This "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" is going really fucking hard right now. All it would take is to not tolerate intolerance and not put a timeline on someone else's freedom and you could have good foreign policy. Millions of people die for bullshit. It's fucking bullshit. And what do we get in return? Cheap plastic? Rush hour traffic? What the fuck???

Why is the z black

Auschwitz was a literal death camp. Stop normalizing the Shoa
