Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said "Blood Tribe."

Being nazi is "having a differing opinion"?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I doubt nazis have any opinions that differ from his.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Opinion, world view, religion, sexuality, race ...

This isn't about just nazies. If one advocates for a world where common people are allowed to take justice into their own hands and just murder people perceived to be bad then that is a horribly violent world where nobody is safe. I would be making the exact same argument on a right wing forum where someone suggest we should just shoot the communists. That's a horribly ignorant thing to say.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

It literally is just about literal nazis. Yes, they should shoot Nazis until Nazis go away again.

Pacifism didn’t win WW2, and it won’t win now. This “enlightened centrist” take is why this is happening again. Libs, socDems, demSocs, anarchists, Marxists and communists need to realize that fascism is here. It’s not going away with “talks.”

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee -4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

People here are literally advocating murdering others for thought crimes. They only need to hold a set of certain beliefs and that is a good enough justification to murder them. No, actually it's even worse; people only need to think you hold a set of beliefs and that's enough. One doesn't need a PhD. to figure out how a society acting in that way will go sideways in a heartbeat.

Not thought crimes. Marching in the streets with literal swastikas on flags. Their "set of certain beliefs" killed 17 million people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims) as part of their beliefs: and that's without counting the deaths they caused by starting a war.

It's not some clever gotcha to pretend this is a grey area. It's not folks saying to go after GOP members, people in militias that are dogwhistling, or even the Proud Boys. It's not folks that loudmouths on twitter are claiming are nazis. The issue here is literal fucking nazis. I actually have a PhD, and I consider it wise to chase literal goddamn nazis out of town with violence. Tolerating the most extreme intolerance is not a path toward a good future.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Ask Heather Heyer if she thinks Nazism is just a thought crime?

Read about the Paradox of Tolerance before the leopards eat your face.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

They're Nazis you prat.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

perceived to be bad

Nazis, dude. "Perceived," my ass.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm not talking about just nazies.

Also, vigilante justice like this means there is no court process and investigation about wether said person actually is guilty of the crime they're accused of. Innocent people will fall victim to it aswell. I'm sure there are more that one people in this thread thinking I'm a literal nazi aswell but I'm not and murdering me would mean murdering a person for "crime" they did not commit.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I’m not talking about just nazies.

Cool. What other groups are you talking about?

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, you fucking are.

[–] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Making death threats is already illegal in the US, i don't see how waving nazi flags doesn't fall under that.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

You're not allowed to murder people on the streets for making death threats either.

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

It is when more than half the cops and 1/3 of the politicians share the same rancid and destructive ideal.

And we are forced to pretend they are normal people and let them speak at our schools and walk our streets.
