World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

See, the mistake these German visitors are making is that they aren't Nazi-era rocket engineers. If they just fit into that category they'd be welcomed with open arms.
Easy mistake to make really
I an equally intolerant towards what's happening as European. (also im veeeery progressive)
But isn't calling them fascists more adequate? Since n%*zis were distinct to an ideology vs jews for example.
I see that mr bust did the salute, but I've also seen an article about a neo fascism group called dark enlightenment. That should be the group we're talking about here.
Curious how you guys see it
They are every bit as anti-Semitic as Hitler was, they just want to use the Jews to being on the end times.
isnt trump administration funding israel and are approving of the current government?
The connection between Israel and the entirety of jewish people is zionist at best and antisemitic itself at worst.
Not all jewish people have a connection, let alone are in favour of Israel, nor has Israel any right to speak for all jewish people. Add to that, that the current far-right israeli government is not supported by or representative of all israeli citizens and maybe you can see why not all criticism of Israel or its current government is antisemitic, although a lot of antisemitism likes to hide behind criticism of Israel and the current israeli government.
In the same way it's absolutely possible to be antisemitic and still support the current israeli government as well as funding Israel.
If the current US government are Nazis or if the more broad term of Fascists should apply is debateable however, imho fascist is the more accurate term, if only because it has broader application for the very broad coalition of far-right authoritarians in the US.
Hitler also supported the creation of a Jewish colony to remove them all from Europe. That's why the Holocaust was the "Final Solution", because Hitler tried to solve "the Jewish Question" various ways throughout the 30's.
Oke I feel uncomfortable on this matter.
Thanks for your input, I will look into it when I'm more robust. But Ill keep your inputs in mind
And they also regularly engage in antisemitic dogwhistles like claiming Soros is secretly funding things, etc. The nature of modern far-right political movements is that competing prejudices often get switched out based on context. So their antisemitism competes with their islamophobia. And the evangelical Christian zionists in the Trump regime basically believe that Jews in Israel will either convert to Christianity or be wiped out as part of their end-times ideology. So even their support for Israel only really sees the Jewish people of Israel as objects in their dispensationalist ideology.
