Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

MODERATORS
Who should the CDU have a coalition with then? ~/s~
Nobody. Their former voters will magically start voting (again) for the CDU once the AfD is forbidden.
"but muh free speech"
That's not about free speech (we don't have that in the US American understanding), but about whether the party is acting against the liberal democratic basic order.
Yeah I know and I agree, both AfD and RN should be banned. They have no place in a democracy
What's RN?
Rassemblement National, the French ~~nazis~~ far right
Which it definitely is.
Let's hope, that finally some authoity has the guts to file a complaint.
That's very difficult, because the law banning right wing parties has to be written in a way so they don't accidentally ban the CDU as well.
There wouldn't be a new law for this. The courts would ban it after a review
Not the courts but the federal constitutional court.
So they are just a bunch of traitors.
Always have been
When haven't fascists been traitors?
Usually they do things like internationally isolating their country, leading to economic problems and poverty due to lack of international trade, or even outright picking unwinnable fights with the rest of the world, leading to eventual, inevitable, and total defeat, additionally they will imprison and/or kill a large part of their own population.
What is destroying or severely damaging your own country (all while pretending you love it) and imprisoning and killing its people, if not treason?
Is the sky blu? Does it hurt when i hit you with an axe?
That fits like the fist on the eye as the Germans say.
Like ass on bucket
Like bullet in nazi brain
But ask the judicial system to ban the party? Nooooo! Convince your voters with democratic arguments as to why the rich shouldn't be taxed and why immigrants are the problem.
This isn't your Göebbels' propaganda machine. They've fine-tuned it to perfection: picking out the exact type they're looking for and feeding them a highly concentrated line to produce the exact result they want (voting for fascists).
We tried to tell everyone but for some reason it didn't get picked up in the press very much.
Even with the more sophisticated targeting (we can thank technological progress for that), it's still using methods pioneered by Göbbels. For example retelling the same lie over and over again, until people start to believe it.
Oh sure, it’s just evolved to be more brainfucky.
