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.
-
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 10/19
-
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.

It's pretty simple.
1 + 1 = 2
If you didn't vote for a Nazi, you aren't a Nazi.
!A == !B
The question is, did you vote for a Nazi?
Oh so now you have to affirmatively vote for a Nazi. Well good news, Trump isn't a Nazi, or a Neo Nazi. There are other flavors of shitty politics.
He is a Nazi. Blonde-haired blue-eyed Nazi.
His political campaign is built upon Hitler's rise to power. Not a 1:1, that'd just be fucking weird and obvious.
I'm not gonna argue semantics here with you. If you didn't vote against a Nazi, you are a Nazi.
If you don't speak out against Nazis, you're a fucking Nazi.
Fuck Nazis.
See? That's easy. How about you try?
Oh I don't like Nazis either. But his political campaign isn't built on Hitler's. It's a pretty stock modern campaign that had better messaging than the Democrats. And before you accuse me of liking his messaging, he won the election. So it was better messaging.
Calling everyone who doesn't vote for the Democrats a Nazi just isn't a winning message. That may seem weird to you but all everyone else hears is that you don't know what a Nazi is, and you're just throwing a word around.
Especially this new transitive power of being a Nazi by doing nothing. Even in the aftermath of World War 2 you weren't considered a Nazi without a party number. By the time you're done accusing people of being Nazis by the transitive power, everyone, yourself included, will be a Nazi. After all, you might accidentally sit at a table with one and then poof, you magically get an evil fashion sense.
fixed it. The fact that you're calling it "messaging", tells me all I need to know about you.
I'm not calling anyone who didn't vote for Democrat a Nazi. I'm calling anyone who didn't perceive Trump as a fascist threat, and voted against the obvious choice, a Nazi. Either you understood the threat that Donald Trump poses to continuing American life as we know it, or you actively supported him being in power. There will no other options but Harris and Trump. There's no gray area. It's pretty black and white. You either vote against the fascist, or you support the fascist.
Technically German citizens didn't do anything for the rise of power of Hitler. People still make jokes about how Germans are Nazis. 99% of the population there wasn't even alive for World War II. The shame was immeasurable and impacted Germany economically and psychologically as a culture. Why would there be shame if they weren't ashamed of what they did? And if they were ashamed, that means they're guilty. Guilty of what? Being a Nazi.
I wonder how the prisoners in the concentration camps after World War II felt when they went back home and their neighbors knew where they were and still they did nothing. Do you think that they... understood their neighbors weren't Nazis? Do you think they cared? I don't.
One does not "accidentally sit at a table of Nazis". When you find out the table is Nazis, you fuck up the table.
Whenever I find out somebody's a Nazi, I punch them in the face as hard as I possibly can. There's no delay. There's no guilt. Believe it or not, a fist straight to the face. Today, I'm proud to say, my daily life is 100% Nazi-free. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this winning streak up though. You may willingly sit at a table with Nazis out of a sense of politeness, but I will burn that motherfucker down.
So no, there's not a "transitive power" on Nazis. It's pretty cut and clear. You either are a Nazi, or you are not. Like if you voted against fascism, or not.
So now not only do we have to vote, we also have to guess which one is the correct one with no communication.
And you say there's not a transitive power here but you keep describing a transitive power. Oh and you've called for violence against people who just want to be left alone.
You're really racking up the motivations for voting.
If you have to guess which one is the bad one...
No, I'm calling for violence against Nazis. Violence against actual Nazis is always acceptable.
I shouldn't have to motivate you to vote, nobody should. If you're not motivated to vote, then you accept the ramifications of your actions.
We'll come back in six months to see how you're feeling about it all. I'm feeling that you're probably gonna have a great time though.
How are we supposed to know? You said all messaging was propaganda. So we have two names on a page. That's it. And yes, people not voting are just trying to be left alone.
You're advocating for violence against people who just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids.
unfortunately as an adult you don't get that luxury. if you want to be left alone, move to Uzbekistan and live in the mountains.
I'm advocating for violence against Nazis.
if they didn't vote, who will know unless they tell. and if they tell, then they clearly want to incite, because by your definition, they "just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids". I don't think anyone who wants that would even care enough to mention they didn't vote, and in a few years they'll be too ashamed to bring it up anyway.
Oh so now we're on don't ask don't tell?
You're just hitting all the highlights aren't you?
And no. You don't get to tell people they have to leave their home. In your rush to fight a Nazi you're starting to really sound like one.
