I swear racists are some of the worst low-IQ people I have ever met. What did this guy think was going to happen?! This is how all hate-spreading racist and/or fascists should be treated. Good Job Minneapolis!!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I was sitting here, having a sip of soup, and when I looked up at my screen, the first thing I saw:
... racist Jake Lang was abruptly aborted ...
Minneapolis, Minnesota folks have proven themselves on the world stage for dealing with the fascist felon and his cronies. I expect all other states have taken careful notes.
Meanwhile, racist fascist Jake Lang has earned the brainless and dubious distinction of an entry in the history books. Notably with the image of him gripped in fear as he's surrounded by Americans.
You gotta love these fascists coming from a all over the country to your local community to tell you guys that your neighbors (or maybe even just you) are criminals even though they know jack shit about your community
This is all about spreading hatred and fear, like a disease, and all these Muppets have already been infected
The only real solution is to eradicate the disease
So what I'm reading is outside agitator paid by "them" provokes peaceful protesters.
Probably. Near the end of what I watched he’s repeatedly saying “deport the white liberal women” which.. idk how else you can take that but as trying to start shit, since it doesn’t really fit the bigotry message very well.. sexism for sure, but it just doesn’t sound like a normal thing for a nazi to say. I mean this is the first I’ve heard that one, yet the people around him thought nothing of it.. very sus.
While most Minnesotans expressed joy at Lang’s aborted rally, fascists around the world fumed that police did not do a better job of protecting one of their own and lobbied for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, a threat he made last Thursday in response to community resistance to ICE kidnapping operations.
Here is the link of him on January 6th beating cops

Ha, not so big and tough are you?
People like Jake Lang, talk a tough game, but they're secretly pussies underneath.
Don't besmirch the good name of pussies like that.
Yes, would not eat Jake Lang
Yeah. Pussies can at least take a hell of a pounding and enjoy it.
Jake Lang is a Mossad agent attempting to steer neo-Nazi hate groups towards anti-Muslim sentiment.
imo, he got off extremely easy in this situation.
Woke is back fam! Get fucked nazi!
Just one? It's a start.
Good to know the WSWS isn't against violence on principle, just who it should be directed at.
I hope once the Socialist Equality Party finally gets a foothold on political power in the US they can make further progress by running their opponents out of town.
We will only be truly free when our ideas are free from interference by others.
Good, I was just starting to run low on asparagus piss
As a none-native speaker, please help me parse this article:
a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang
A racist organized a rally that is
- pro-immigration
- (anti?) ICE
- anti-Muslim hate (so essentially pro-Muslim?)
Why? I'd expect him to do the opposite.
Prior to the event, Lang promised he would burn a Quran on the steps of Minneapolis City Hall,
That sounds distinctly not anti-Muslim hate. So is it a [anti-Muslim] [hate rally]? Then I am not sure why it'd be pro-immigration at the same time?!
Pro-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement),
Anti-muslim,
hate-rally.
I can see the potential ambiguity for a non-native speaker with the articles phrasing.
Now that you mention it ... of course! Thanks!
It's saying the rally was in favor of ICE and opposed to immigration and Muslims.
Yeah, but then why does it say "pro-immigration"? To be a proponent of something means supporting it. And those people hardly support people immigrating to their country.
It is poorly phrased.
a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang
ICE is short for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement".
The next part is even phrased worse.
Anti-Muslim hate-rally would be a better phrasing, but "hate rally" is a weird phrase already. A good editor would have dropped "hate" from the phrase entirely.
So, rephrased: "a pro-ICE and Anti-Muslim rally"
The "immigration" in there belongs to "Immigration and Customs Enforcement", which is the full name of ICE. So it's saying that he's pro-ICE, or pro-[Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. The hyphen is a bit confusing there.
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement” —abbreviated as “ICE” — is the organization that he supports. He’s not in favor of immigration, he’s in favor of the organization that traditionally enforces immigration laws, in other words anti-immigration.
Also worth noting that this organization’s mission has been skewed from simply enforcing the laws into “kidnapping people with tan skin or or who have an accent” and generally being a modern version of the Nazi “brownshirts”. So that is what he is supporting.
Your error was just parsing him as pro "I." when he is actually pro "I.C.E."
He is in favor of immigration enforcement, not immigrants.
- Pro-immigration and Pro-ICE
- Anti-Muslim. Burning their Quran is definitely part of that.
- He’s a racist.
- Pro-immigration, Pro-ICE, racism, Anti-a Muslim are all from the same mindset that drives all right wingers in the US.
EDIT: The distinction here is that Pro-immigration translates to “Pro-deportation” in right wing colloquial expression.
Anti-immigration.
Pro-ICE.
Anti-Muslim.
So just a general piece of shit.
You’ve described conservatives perfectly.
I hope I’m not the only one that resists throwing up in my mouth when one speaks.
Pro-immigration [...] drives all right wingers in the US.
I am not sure, I fully understand. Because being a proponent of something means you support it. So pro-immigration people are in favor of others immigrating to their country, and that's certainly not what the fascist want? They want immigrants, illegals, aliens (whatever they call them) out of the country so they are anti-immigration.
Yes I think Jumbie mistyped, "anti-immigration" is correct for the right-wingers, or as I call them the Wrong Wing.
The only way they could be called "pro-Immigration" is if you're using "Immigration" as a short name for ICE and US Border Patrol and Dept of Homeland Security together in general. As we in Los Angeles sometimes call them "la migra". Because although they have different jurisdictions, undocumented people have to run/hide from all of them.
This is correct and also (as I tried to clarify above) interchangeable with the rightwingers wanting to deport all non-whites.
I apologize for the mistake.
I specified above (I should have initially).
To a US rightinger scumbag, immigration is interchangeable with deportation of the browns.
