Ok, I'm really glad I asked now, thank you for the clarification, and apologies for the misunderstanding!

And yes, I agree that raising concerns is far from enough, my previous comment was more in reference to the headline, not really an answer to the problem. That answer would be zero tolerance, which is what Germany likes to say they have, but obviously the reality is very different, and it's really quite scary that even in a place that has supposed zero tolerance laws, the kind of hate theses people survive on still manages to win elections.

Hitler said it himself - the only way to stop him would have been if people saw his party for what it really was and destroyed it then and there, but he, and we, know the power of propaganda, and those with no shame or aversion to lying will always win the propaganda war because they can say whatever the hell they want and need to. Then if you actually fight back, they frame you as the aggressor and win a little more. The system really is designed to perpetuate itself and maintain the power in the hands of a few.

Scary times.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

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.
