I really hope we don't get riots like in the UK now. I am sure we will see a lot of incitement from the extreme far right and i am worried that the populist right will flank the incitement rather than distance from it.

I guess we all know what happened in this comment section!

It seems he has been already denied asylum last year, but escaped the authorities somehow.

Now some politicians are suggesting idiotic laws and spreading populist bullshit, like every time.

somehow

Refugees that get denied asylum after years are informed days to weeks ahead when exactly the authorities show up to bring them back to their origin country.

Doesn't seem that smart

I'm sorry, what are you expecting?

[-] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Expecting? I was expecting exactly what we both see. No debate of substance is permitted on this subject. You know that already.

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago

If comments like "all muslims are bad" are a good start to a "debate of substance" in your view, I don't actually mind you not participating.

[-] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

This straw man says more about you than any argument I have ever made here.

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 12 points 2 months ago

Huh? You were complaining about how evil mods were suppressing debate (paraphrasing obviously).

But the removed comment thread literally started with a blanket "muslims are bad" comment.

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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  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 !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  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.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

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

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 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 mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
