Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

MODERATORS
Meanwhile on Lemmy...
Right, the guy who rants about immigrants having "bad genes" and lies about them eating people's pets as a way to dehumanize them is totally not a fascist.
The guy who attempted a putsch to secure power outside of democratic channels is certainly not a fascist.
The guy trying to provoke his neighbors into a territorial dispute and threatening to "annex" countries for natural resources is totally not a fascist.
The guy who is enriching his corporate cronies while they consolidate power for the regime is definitely not a fascist (nor is the guy doing Nazi salutes at his inauguration).
The guy rounding people up with a secret police force and sticking them in camps can't possibly be a fascist.
The guy demonizing anything to the left of white nationalism as communism/socialism isn't a fascist.
No way the guy who was denounced by his own VP as "America's Hitler" is a fascist.
And therefore the people who support him can't be fascist!
That's a pretty smart take you've got there.
You forgot "the guy who is calling for his political opponents to be killed or deported isn't a fascist".
Would sure help your case if there weren't so fucking many Hitlers rolling around.
They have to compete to see who's the best one.
Not strictly relevant, but I would watch a reality TV show called, "America's next top fascist."
I don't like my current government (the German one) at all but they aren't nazis. There's definitely a party here where that label is appropriate, but the Union/SPD is just your good ol' run-of-the-mill incompetent.
I mean, the cxu is definitely racist, but I wouldn’t call them Nazis. I agree about that other party though.
That's kind of close for me. Everyone who's racist or othwise bigoted, nationalist, authoritarian, oligarchic, theocratic, hyper-militant, etc., is going to be someone whose behavior I dislike.
I will tolerate everyone but the intolerant. I don't care what colour your skin is, what car you drive, which team you support, who you sleep with*, what clothes you wear, what gender you are. I care if you make other people's lives miserable because of those things or for any other bigoted reason I haven't mentioned.
*as long as they are consenting adults.
I think this is the metaethically appropriate response to the paradox of tolerance.
Only slightly related, but there are two things in the world I can't stand: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.
Yeh baby! I mean obviously the Dutch are the exception to all of the above.
misread this as "mathematically appropriate"
I heard that in Finn's voice when he says, "Mathematical!"
People are being rounded up into concentration camps.
That’s exactly why people are speaking out. When mass detentions, extrajudicial killings, and systemic abuse become normalized, silence turns into complicity. History has shown us where this path leads if it goes unchecked. Calling attention to it isn’t exaggeration, it’s a warning.
THE WORLD IS DOOMED!!!!
Same bad news happening all over the world.
