Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

MODERATORS
 

Members of the previously unknown neo-Nazi group called National Front Fædreland are making plans to take over power in Denmark, purchasing weapons and committing murders, while sharing a steady stream of Nazi propaganda and hateful messages, images and videos.

"They express a desire to take over power in Denmark. In one of their videos they say: 'Look at Mussolini and Hitler, they were ridiculed in the beginning, they had no power, but then they took it.' They then use that to say, 'look, we can also take over power, even if we are ridiculed,'" he adds.

In other messages, one member of the group mentions, among other things, that he wants to purchase weapons, while another expresses a desire to kill immigrants and homosexuals, and he also tries to get the other members to kill a specific Danish-African woman.

Another member requests videos from the Bondi Beach terrorist attack in Australia last year because he would like to see Jews shot and killed, while a third says he was allegedly arrested by PET for allegedly planning an assassination.

I'd highly recommend anyone watch the show Mussolini: Son of The Century, which incredibly skillfully shows how Mussolini and his fascists came to power. The US is following the same playbook.
