Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

- They don't. Reddit still has a copy of everything you have ever typed on that website (even moreso now that they auto-save every draft message). They need to for liability reasons in case you were doing a Trevor Moore impression and talked about where you would put a mortar. It just has the added benefit of still providing training data for LLMs.
- I can't be sure what jacobin magazine was using, but CNN et al have already linked to actual archive.org scrapes of reddit that include his messages. I am not personally sure how "p-hustle" was linked to him and whether he disclosed that or others figured it out.
They don't need it for liability reasons; they just want to sell it as AI fodder.
So is he a goodie or a baddie. TELL ME WHAT TO THINK
Why are people so fucking stupid? Idiots who probably didn't even know what a totenkopf was a week ago are now like "OMG secret Nazi 😱."
Our attention-span economy overrides actual politics and action.
Are you saying he didn't serve in the military?
Or are you saying he did apologize for spreading capitalism with the sword of US imperialism?
I am greatly enjoying in real time the mass migration of a certain population of Lemmy commentators from:
How DARE this evil Nazi man have this Nazi tattoo! Well I for one, will never vote for him.
To, three days later:
How DARE the establishment Democrats try to smear this honorable progressive by pretending he has a Nazi tattoo! Well I for one, will never vote for them.
(Yes, I know, different elements of the same population can have contrasting views. I get it. At the same time... where were all you guys who are now convinced this is is all a Democratic hit job, three days ago when we were trying to defend this good man from this particular Democratic hit job? Thought you cared about truth in politics.)
