Let me get this straight:
Silencing nazis (instead of straight jailing them) is an issue with human rights.
But killing tens of thousands of palestinians it's fine.
You understand, America, that your opinion right now is worth shit, right?

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 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.

I’d say like half of us do… this administration makes me embarrassed to be an american.
I’ve been embarrassed to be American since WW2.
The moon landing was pretty cool. But it also happened right in the middle of the Vietnam War, so yeah, your point stands.
Silencing nazis (instead of straight jailing them) is an issue with human rights.
I know a few better things you should do instead, but pointing them out is against the rules.
Let's just say that I wrote "jailing" because it was the worst thing I could write without being banned.
Nazis tend to get their feelings hurt when you treat them the same way they treat others
I don't really get why. I mean, they seemed so happy putting people in gas chambers and ovens... Can't see why wouldn't they want to be put through the same... And, most important, why should it be a big deal now when it wasn't when they were doing it.
They pretend the Gas chamber thing didnt happen.
Good thing is : this is illegal in germany.
haah right... the country that cant even provide healthcare to its people, ejects brown children with cancer because 'paperwork', and provided israel all the material they needed to complete an actual genocide...
thats who is claiming some moral point? hilariously hypocritical
They're also straight up rolling out a genocide of trans people, don't let that slip past them.
slip past them?? im pretty sure trans-genocide is a part of the official republican platform
I don't really understand the obsession the Epstein files. We all know what's in there, and we all know what's going to happen if they get released, that is: nothing will happen.
The obsession is that for whatever reason this is the one thing that’s got maga people upset. They literally have no response when you ask them about the files. They start stuttering and get red in the face. It’s glorious.
And also that it’s now obvious it’s the one thing that’s got Trump upset, to the point that he’s consistently doing shit to distract from it, meaning it’s probably the one thing he’s worried about on his road to emperor or whatever
So really, we're using the epstein files to distract magaicans from the ongoing construction of the 4th reich/3rd republic/2nd confederacy, of which they are otherwise in favor? I'll be honest with you when I put it out like that i don't think it's going to work.
Germany certainly has plenty of human rights issues. Nazis being oppressed is not one of them.
Nazi lives (don't) matter!!!
And fucking rightly so!
Nazi oppression is an issue.
It's not happening enough
Remind me...
- Which country checks tourists' social media for anti-Trump posts on entry?
- Which country regularly arrests (and in many cases deports) both their own citizens and foreigners without consulting a court?
- Which country spies on its own citizens to figure out if they may have had an abortion?
But sure, even thinking about doing something about a right-wing party that has been classified as extremist by multiple courts and explicitly lists several human rights violations as their goals... that's a step too far...
Report by the US State Department
So safe to ignore, got it.
Significant human rights issues included restrictions on freedom of expression
Yeah, in Germany, Elon Musk would have been arrested for his "expression".
One can dream. But at least he would be fined. Whatever that's worth.
America is next level when it comes to hypocrisy.
Sounds to me like America is planning a Special Military Operation.
The only human right issued in germany is the crushing of palestinian anti occupation supporterd that trump love
That's far from the only issue. Of course all of the things I'd name (systemic racism, horrible prison conditions, gaps in our "universal" healthcare, dismantling of the social state) are also things the current US administration would be in favour of.
Half of the things you list are things which Germany is one of the best in the world: prison conditions, healthcare, social state. It's not perfect, sometimes is worse than it was 10 years ago, but hardly worth of calling it a "human rights issue" .
Can we get rid of the US already jeez
takes one to know one?
Germany is making AFD's life more difficult –> JD Vance is unhappy –> USA concludes that Germany has human rights issues and the issues are that AFD has become more active and Germany should have prevented that from happening. Okay.
Maybe USA should decide whether it's a problem to let AFD do its stuff or if it is a problem to not let AFzs do its stuff? 🙃
Pot, meet kettle.
Elect a clown, expect a circus
I still remember when people cared about reports from US. Good times.
Bias as in "anti-Nazi" bias?
