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.

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!
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!
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, the democrats do not install Biden loyalists - people who have loudly and publically repeatedly announced uncritical support of Biden. They do not hire staff that are without any formal education or without significant qualifying experience for important roles - whereas Trump does all of those things. To say they all do the same shows a very uncritical assessment of reality.
The Nazi party believed firmly in social & familial heirarchy, oppressed the underclasses openly through targeted programs to eliminate trans, gay, Jewish and other minority groups, worked hand in glove with the factory owners and corporations to crush and outlaw unions, praised and supported the former Monarchy and Kaiser, and purged the communist party from the German political assembly through violence and incarcerations - and ultimately sent all communists, Marxists and labour leaders to death camps along with any other minorities they had decided to murder. So to insist they were left wing simply because their party name includes the word 'socialist' is naieve and ignorant to history.
Check sources from actual historians and you will find the same conclusions and volumes of evidence.
The only (in)famous people I know claiming the 'Nazis were left-wing' are the criminal liar Dinesh D'Souza, and all the usual right wing grifters Stephen Crowder, Prager 'University', Matt Walsh and so on - they are lying, as they do about most things. There are much better sources of news and information.
hahahaha
hahahahahahahahaha
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
