Human rights are edgy now
(lemmy.world)
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
Without addressing those issues no humane response will be had either way. Although trying to address them doesn't seem to help either. But the "both sides need to stop fighting" line doesn't work for me. One has to take into consideration the power imbalances and systemic segregation involved. Under some circumstances I don't think it is at all immoral to act in violence- I do think it becomes a self perpetuating firestorm that takes on a life all of its own, but that doesn't mean that the adversaries are by necessity equally culpable for causing it, or that they struggle on equal moral footing.
