They said it’s “threatening violence”, breaking Rule 1
Nazis should be dead. Punching is the compromise
Punching is just one method to achieve the goal.
Letting Confederate live is how Trump happened
Reminder: The Capitalists won the Civil War.
Nobody ever said you should stop punching
The left: Maybe we have to do violence?
Liberals: How dare you!
Nazis: We already did some violence, it was awesome. We’re going to hint at doing more every way we can think of, but stop short of explicitly and unconditionally promising to
Liberals: Well they already did it, so let’s put it behind us.
“Look forward, not backward”
Are you insinuating it’s not the right wing influence on reddit causing this, but rather the “wrong” kind of left wing …? Lemmy is weird.
Cause isn’t so simple. One enables the other.
Look at how neo-Nazis abuse liberalist values to demand a protected platform. “Tolerance”, “free speech”, “anti-violence”, you know they don’t believe in these but they’ll always demand it from you.
I think he’s insinuating that libs enable fascism
There is a trend on this platform for people to be just as mad at center-left people as the fuckin actual Nazis. And it’s counterproductive as fuck
Liberals are not center-left, and the reason why that’s important to recognize is because in the struggle between socialism and capitalism, liberals by definition side with capitalism. Historically, liberals have sided with fascists over leftists, because leftists affirm systemic change.
Nazis aren’t going to change, they have to be defeated. You defeat them by changing the liberals.
Fine – spraying hatred on the “liberals” won’t do that though.
Pointing out a double standard is not hatred
I’m referring to a sentiment I see all over lemmy quite often. I don’t think you get to dismiss all those cases are politely pointing it out. Plenty of other users here notice it too, and point out how counter productive it is. I mean even just the term “liberal” is seen as a proxy for evil here. My guess is that plenty of “liberal” people don’t even conform to the views they are presumed to hold, and plenty of “liberals” are very much on board with most of the same leftist ideas as the ones claiming ideological purity over the liberals. The biggest difference is that some of the purists may know more history than some of the people they hate and claim are the problem.
Both can exist simultaneously and share blame.
Yeah, I suppose. It’s just vastly more an issue with the right.
first time?
reddit finally decided to shadowban me
NAZIS SHOULD BE PUNCHED.
I mean, my grandfather would probably have said they deserved worse.
If you see a nazi sitting down and having breakfast with 11 people, you’re seeing 12 nazis.
Ah yes, the tranazitive property.
Reddit’s AI banbots are basically killing the platform leaving nothing but scrapbooking and macrame subs.
Welcome to the club. I said, “Remember, if you see a Nazi, punch a Nazi.”, as a play on if you see something, say something.
I decided not being able to comment or post is not a big loss, but I do still read over there.
I actually find my Reddit experience improved dramatically post-ban
Removed by mod
Funny, a world mod banned me from a comminity for the exact same reason.
They’re the reddit of lemmy.
And now a lot of them are moving over to piefed I notice.
Violence against fascists is defense of humanity
You deserve it by grossly understating what Nazis deserve. /s
lol yeah that was also one of my three strikes for getting perma’d from The Old Place
I got banned from news@lemmy.world for calling out nazi sympathizers. Granted I did call them cunts, so YMMV.
At this point anyone who isnt banned by at least a few .world spaces is a nazi sympathizer.
The person you responded to is a liar though. No one was sympathizing with Nazis in any way and they came in telling people to kill themselves. They were banned completely justifiably.
You would definitely say that. You haven’t ever suffered from the failure that is humanizing fascists. Humanzing them is sympathizing with them. They choose to not be human. Heck theyre proud to not be human.
It’s more insulting to them to call them human, as that implies youre on the same thing as them, something they objectively do not believe.
This is so stupid I don’t even know where to begin. Dehumanization is what leads to disgusting cruelty like Nazis engage in.
You do realize it’s possible to support the execution of Nazis and still think they are humans? Such a bizarre world in which that would ever need to be said out loud.
No, I personally do not think we should execute humans under any circumstance. However fascists are not human.
They, again, choose not to be. And as the paradox of intolerance states, we cant really accept them in human communities.
Dehumanization is something they voluntarily did to themselves. You cant even say they were tricked or duped into it. We’re in the information age. Practically all adults in the us have made it past 8th grade. They chose to believe they weren’t human like us. I’m simply honoring their wishes and beliefs.
This is just a semantic trick you think you can use to stay holier than thou and also kill people who deserve it. Doesn’t work that way. Humans can only become not human by dying and becoming dust again. Semantic tricks don’t change that. I sense this conversation will go even more poorly from here so I’m blocking you for my mental health.
And right wingers wonder why we dont engage and just tell them to hurry the natural process of decay.
Continuing the lie that calling out dehumanization being wrong is “sympathizing with Nazis”.
I specifically said Nazis are pieces of shit but still human and you told me I’m scum and to kill myself.
What an innocent fucking victim.
