       @lizzy this is not what was said though. and the follow-up was "it's impossible to be racist against white people".this is just racism, and i will not pretend it's not. just like i will not pretend that 2 + 2 = 5.i mean, i could care less about people being racist on the internet, not like i can do a lot about it besides pointing it out, blocking and reporting.

       @lizzy you're changing the topic. this is irrelevant to the issue of whether someone is deliberately being racist, as an individual, towards white people, which is not acceptable.

       @lizzy hmm yes let's weigh the pros and cons of the SED dictatorship. con: tens of thousands of political prisoners tortured. pro: high schoolers slightly better at math.you rant about onesidedness of "wessis" only to then give the second most ridiculously one-sided "summary" ever."annexation"? don't be ridiculous. in what world is an overwhelming majority approving the unification treaty *in both countries* an annexation.

       @lizzy yeah, that was half tongue-in-cheek.all things considered, the GDR was the much worse state, without dispute. that is why it failed and dissolved itself in the FDR. they were not forced by the GDR. they failed.if you want to assess the GDR on its merits, the first thing you need to do is stick to the facts.and describing the reunification as some kind of doomsday annexation is not that. that is factually false.ex falso quodlibet.

       @lizzy i did not get to reading that yet, i was still researching the rest of this huge message with lots of links..apollocheese! i should have waited with my reply. part of why i didn't is that as a mastodon user i am incentivized to click reply once i've written a certain amount of characters 🙃

       @lizzy still i hope to convince you to take a more balanced view of the reunification. your op was about as one-sided as it gets, and your post now is just adding one-sided citations and analyses. (the "annexation" thing was just the culmination of that which is why i latched onto it.)
