A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

We are the baddies. We are allowing our governments to do it. We are the German citizens who for whatever reason let Nazi Germany become a murder machine.
Today we are quiet so that we don't get targeted. How long until we have to pledge our support so that we don't get targeted? How long until we have to contribute so we don't get targeted?
And here you have it how Germany turned like this during WWII. Propaganda, and dehumanization of the adversaries. As you can see this is still possible even now.
Probably easier than ever
Yup. Take universal internet access and combine it with the handful of megacorps that control the modern web; with that combo it has never been easier for shitty people to come together and reinforce each other's shitty beliefs.
Germany reunification isn't even 25 years old and the nazis are already number 1 party there.
Just balkanize them asap
"Let"
The majority of voters chose this.
If only hillary didn't win the primary in 2016, then trump wouldn't have won the election.
Fuck the moderate white.
Wasn’t it closer to slightly more than a third?
Among voters, it was more than half. If you didn't vote, you don't count.
If you didn’t vote, you voted for this. This is a representative democracy, and voting is the absolute least you can possibly do.
You don’t get out of your civic duty by abstaining – you’re implicitly supporting the winner by failing to do the bare minimum. You’re doing far worse if you uttered one sentence to convince others to abstain with you, which many, many did.
Unless you live in a literal cave, you’re complicit.
I think that misrepresents the situation in a bad way though. Of possible voters, it was barely over a third—they are not a majority, don’t make it appear as though they are
In a democracy, not voting means that you are saying, "I'm fine with whoever the rest of you choose. I'm good with either."
Actually, if I recall it was ultimately still slightly less than half (after the massive excess of California votes that don't count came in). He still had the most votes of the candidates, but no candidate garnered more than half.
Which is really just splitting hairs on a technicality, ultimately 77 million people voted this way, and it would have still been a deep problem even if Harris had won the popular and electoral votes.
"Don't you dare compare us to the nazis!! That's plain antisemitism! You're a nazi!" I'm sick and fucking tired of this rhetoric. Grow some balls Netanyahu and admit you're a fucking nazi. The world already knows it.
His dad wrote a book which flirted with suggesting that the Jews who didn’t escape the Holocaust were inferior.
There is some deeply fucked up internal racism in some Jewish communities.
Oooooooooffffffff what the fuck
Bibi himself:
It’s a fucked up way to insinuate that Hitler wouldn’t have suggested the Holocaust if not for Muslims. Which, no fuck that. I know I could Google “Poland pogram” and find some medieval account of mass graves or something entirely motivated by the fucking blood libel. Poisoning the wells (bubonic plague) or making matzo balls with the blood of gentiles.
It’s like the outrage that any criticism of Israel summons. That it’s antisemitic to say “yeah no this is pretty fucked up.” As if the fucking state of Israel under war criminal Bibi is identified with Judaism itself.
One of the things that shocks me to this day - I played a National Security Defense Game at GenCon as Bibi. I basically did what he has done. I played it as he did. I could not fucking win - everyone was like yah no you are a mega corrupt criminal. I was courting Trump, spreading conspiracy theories. I got booted the fuck out of office.
I retroactively win lol.
"We can't possibly be Nazis because we disagree with them about who the Untermensch are."
Ok, so does this kick off WW3 or are other nations just going to roll over and allow this to happen?
How the hell is this even a plausible timeline we’re living in?
It's always been like this. We just have the Internet now so we can learn about it happening.
Sorry, I was under the assumption that the plan was what Bibi planned all along. He planted the idea in the orange moron that it was his plan to give himself plausible deniability.
Zionists deserve all the vigilante justice that's coming to them.
Everyone single one of them should be afraid.
Israel of all countries turning into a full-blown fascist state complete with its own holocaust would be really funny in an ironic way if it wasn't so deeply sad and tragic.
The cycle of abuse on a national scale. Its crazy to see.
Good job everyone who advocated for 3rd parties or abstained because this ghoul was ‘the same’ as Biden or Harris. I hope you’re sleeping well that razing Gaza is the same as not doing that.
Great work. Perhaps you’ll get a discount on the new trump branded resorts they’ll build on that land, which we fucking warned you he wanted to do years ago.
I’m done trying to warn people. You won’t fucking listen so I’m wasting my breath, and these ‘I told you so’s just taste too bitter.
Wake me when you’re ruffling the ashes of your own countrymen from your hair (or don’t, because I’ll be seasoning your egg salad with what’s left of my bones).
e: MItHC reference, and since I’m both disabled and queer, I’m going down with this ship
So many of the “people” saying that were Russian trolls, I can’t imagine actually buying into it though… like if your ideology aligns with a Russian troll farm how do you even continue to function? Like, reassess your life ffs
That's who you want to blame? World full of Nazis and you wanna stop and waste your energy, breath and time on fighting folk who couldn't condone moderate genocide?
Shows your priorities. Despicable.
I got banned from the chappo sub yesterday for laughing at them for their protest vote.
At least I don't wake up every morning knowing I helped put maga in
Trumps collaborating but this was always zionisms goal and method. Lets not hang this completely on America. This is Israel.
