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.
-
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.

You got to get rid of those nazis or they'll be ruling the roost in an election cycle, trust me. --an american
Some of his ideas, like defunding CBC, are foolish.
I don't think Pierre Poilievre is a Nazi. Statements like that are unhelpful.
He likes to dine with Nazis, and we all know the old adage about Nazis at a dinner table.
That was America's favorite phrase in 2024...
People said the same thing about MAGA/Trump.
Conservatives are holding the door open for fascism, and if you can't close it, it will come in.
“Progressives”/Liberals are straight up begging for authoritarian dictatorships.
I missed when calling for smaller government, less regulations, less red tape, untouchable free speech, and less censorship suddenly became “fascism”.
You're adorable.
PP is a populist conservative politician so he's not actively fascist, but do you know what happens when your society has a fascism-shaped hole? Politicians like PP expand to fill that hole.
I wish people would stop calling him a populist. Doug Ford is a populist. PP is pretending to be a populist and is, at best an ideological populist but populists pivot. He doesn’t. We should be referring to him as an Opportunist because it all looks like an act to me.
If it walks like a populist and it quacks like a populist...
The dude is aligned with trump and is a fascist. I wouldn't call them nazis just yet, but they are certainly very, very fascist.
I work in a very conservative workplace in Alberta, and when I call trump a fascist I get zero pushback. In fact, they just nod in agreement. When I say that Peter rabbithait is aligned with trump, they don't argue against that point either.
The "good ones" know their support for him is short lived, and they will have to piss or get off the pot soon. I hope goodness prevails.
Spoken like a true nazi
First time on Lemmy/Reddit?
Probably hundreds or thousands of times this image has been posted by supporters of the literal fascists picking apart the United States, mocking others for overreacting over the last months and years. The thing has happened, how do you think you have a point?
How is the American government “fascist”?
It gets posted thousands of times because it’s true. “Nazi” Is the default attack by the far left. Someone *doesn’t * want free speech abolished? Nazi!
Here's dozens of concrete examples of how Trump's government is directly enacting fascist policies. I'm not sure if you're trolling so I put in a very small amount of effort to locate these articles, there are hundreds online.

P. S. If you hit the paywall they're available on paywall bypass websites.
The democrats did/do all of those things too. Installing “loyalists” to top jobs is what every admin does. Biden did it. Obama did it. Everyone does it.
The media example is dumb. There are dozens of media, most highly critical of the trump, allowed in to the White House briefings etc. What 60 minutes did with that rambling Kamala interview deserves to have consequences, as they deliberately edited it to make her look better so as to not hurt her election chances.
Also just FYI - the Nazis were a socialist party. They were left wing.
No, they really aren't
Aren't? The Nazi party hasn't existed for almost a hundred years. The National Socialist German Workers' Party - Nazis - were left wing socialists.
There are still nazis, the nazis aren't, and we're never left wing.
National Socialist German Workers’ Party
DPRK. It's a name
Oh, i don't know, fascist policies? That should be pretty fucking obvious
Fascist policies such as…..?
Do you genuinely live under a rock? Can you actually be that oblivious? You need to educate yourself bud
Can you please educate me by showing me some of these fascist policies?
Tell ya what, you've been graced with marvelous things called a brain, and eyes and hands. I'm sure if you did the most basic cursory glances anywhere you would see them :) I believe in you!
Awesome, so you can't provide a single fascist policy.
Thanks!
Awesome! You're ignorant to his fascist policies!
Thanks!
Oh ffs. Stop playing it down. Look at the riding he’s being given. Battle river. It’s conspiracy city. Far cry from Carleton.. I know that part of Alberta well . I’m telling you right now: it ain’t good . He went from serving coffee to the convoy to living with them.
Step off with the gaslighting. This is the type of exact crap the Americans just went through. Knock it the hell off.
Hey, just wanted to say you're right. And these people here are bad faith commentators. They push things towards hyperbolic statements in the same way the right went nuts in their own way.
Unfortunately I fear this is what we have to come to accept now until everything blows up.
Protip:
Shove your head up your butt and you won't have to close your eyes to ignore the nazis
Seriously consider what you're saying here. That PP is a Nazi, he clearly is not, while telling me my head is up my ass
People running for high office that make campaign stops with white supremacists are 100% nazis, no exaggeration necessary.
People that are not nazis don't tolerate nazis.
No, what you're doing is lazily leveraging the nazi context for your political benefit. PP is not a Nazi for having a photo op or being tangentially associated with some asshole. It's as lazy as showing pictures of people with Epstein and calling them pedophiles because they were in a photo.
It's bullshit politics. The sad part is that you will never realize how it's your credibility that is lost. And unfortunately since you associate with certain values, you lose credibility for the whole. There's reason to shit on him for spending time with these people. But when you go hyperbolic and dramatically call him a Nazi, you lose the plot
Shoving your head up your ass won't keep you safe from the nazis.
Good luck, boy.
There is no argument you have here. Pp is not a Nazi. All this does it's discredit you. Be more precise
I agree, it sucks when Americans try to project their issues onto us.
