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.

In other words, a concentration camp.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 27 points 5 months ago

We took away your home, off to the forced labour camp.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago

Hop skip and a jump to a death camp.

Forced Labor is just a euphemism for enslavement.

[–] LoonyLenny 23 points 5 months ago

Robots

The term “robot” originates from the Czech word “robota,” which means “forced labor.”

BASHIR: What is this place?

SISKO: A Sanctuary District.

BASHIR: Twenty-first century history is not one of my strong points. Too depressing.

SISKO: It's been a hobby of mine. They made some ugly mistakes, but they also paved the way for a lot of the things we take now for granted.

BASHIR: I assume this is one of those mistakes.

SISKO: A bad one. By the early twenty twenties there was a place like this in every major city in the United States.

BASHIR: Why are these people in here? Are they criminals?

SISKO: No. People with criminal records weren't allowed in the Sanctuary Districts.

BASHIR: Then what did they do to deserve this?

SISKO: Nothing. They're just people without jobs or places to live.

BASHIR: So they get put in here?

SISKO: Welcome to the twenty-first century, Doctor.

Bell Riots comment; I came here for this. 10/10.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

If we get Bell riots because of this it will be worth it.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, September 2024.

When people say, "we should just house the homeless" this is not what they meant!

[–] pheonixdown@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago

Sadly, it kind of is what some of them meant...

The MAGAt plans are becoming clearer by the day.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They've been clear since before 2020...

You mispelled 1939.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free, so I can enslave them, as they are the easiest, most vulnerable parts of society and nobody will defend them."

This will be fun. When should I report to my labor camp? **🌈🫠

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

With the phrase "arbeit macht frei" just above the gates!

[–] n0respect@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The historical parallels are so parallel that they're the same picture. Yet some people still can't see it.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Or they DO it and are all "hell the fuck yeah!".

But they get food, shelter, and most importantly a purpose! - Future MAGAts

Just like house elves, prisoners, and slaves?
