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.

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.

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.

Concentration camp. It's a concentration camp. Call it a concentration camp. You should call it a concentration camp because it's a concentration camp. DON'T FUCKING GIVE TRUMP WHAT HE WANTS DON'T USE HIS SANEWASHED WORDS, IT'S A FUCKING CONCENTRATION CAMP

"But why didn't the good Germans opposed what was happening??"

I miss the boring late 1990s, and I hate to be living in historical times. Bin Laden really managed to destroy the US with those 4 planes.

The onion is scary accurate sometimes. This is exactly what is happening.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bin Laden? Bush helped him escape. Then kept the military industrial complex rollin’ while spying on US Citizens. Source

[–] Tja@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

I just skimmed the article, but it looks like it was not Osama but members of his familiy...

But yeah, Patriot Act and sequels are still running to this day.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 65 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I have been told multiple times on Lemmy now that it isn't a genocide because no one has been murdered yet.

Similarly, I was told a couple of days ago that America isn't a fascist dictatorship because they aren't shooting protesters yet.

People will keep their head in the sand until they're loaded into a boxcar themselves. Possibly even then.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 year ago

anyone denying the long ongoing latin american genocide has their head either in the sand or up their ass. every dipshit who said things couldn't get worse than weimar joe or kamala doesn't understand just how bad things can get and elected for things to get worse all for the sake of their conscience. it hadn't shit to do with what would actually make things better or worse. they didn't want to help gazans. they wanted to feel good about themselves.

so. now i implore you, reader. the election was the chance to do something the gentle way. now it's time to do things the uncomfortable way. monitor the police and tell your marginalized peers what they're up to. hide people. fight. grow food and share it. don't be a fucking coward. get out here and help us help as many people survive as we can. voting was literally the least you could do. now it's time to do a little more

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah I just typed this yesterday and it's worth putting here too: in the 1930s in Germany there was a group that basically tasked itself with the protection of democracy and they waited for a signal from leadership that never came. Because leadership was waiting for the one moment. Don’t wait.

US prisons are lethal.

Plus the body count is in the hundreds of thousands if you include his previous 4 years.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

So there's no genocide because of U.S. prison conditions? That's what you're arguing here?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry... you're denying the Holocaust happened because of German prison conditions?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What? No I'm saying the US has been building concentration camps for years where people are routinely raped, tortured, starved, and murdererd.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unless you are denying that Trump is instigating a genocide, what exactly is your point?

Did you just feel like telling someone at random about conditions in American prisons?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they're just stating that we've already had concentration camps, things are just ramping up ig. 🤷‍♀️

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think anyone is suggesting otherwise. We had them in WWII.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not everyone knows this history, especially people who are not US or Japanese Americans

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're very snarky today, aren't you

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Providing useful contextual information to a global audience isnt what I'd consider "snarky"

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Eh, that's on me, I think I was reading too much into things, my bad

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Just like MAGA on Palestine, the tankies will deny it the whole time.

[–] sol6_vi@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This shit looks like District 9 for humans.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 26 points 1 year ago

not a coincidence district 9 looked like that

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know, the Nazis at least built barracks for the Jews.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

had Jews build their own barracks I'll bet

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neat photo op for a trump hatchet woman. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth…

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously, every photo with her in it is clearly posed. Really going balls to the wall with the propaganda...

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Hands on hips and demanding answers cause she’s the only reason anything happens.

[–] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

this is inhumane. if this is what the US government can provide then they are fucken failures in all aspects of governance. could this be worse conditions then what the Nazis provided for their concentration camps?

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Tent camp on an island with hurricane season coming in 3.5 months. Average temperatures for Cuba: 80

I'm sorry everything will be just fine.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

That woman looks looks a bonewalker. Are we sure she's not an undead?
