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.

Meh scum can fuck right off. No sympathy for rapists.
For all the downvoters. Read the fucking article. I'm talking about scum, not refugees in general. Fucking hell.
Not what I said is it? Equating refugees to rapists/scum means it's working on you.
Those 28 people sent back are conflicted felons. All of them committed serious crimes (Schwerverbrechen)
what the fuck is this?
An actual informed opinion instead of just an outraged comment?
Sir, this is Lemmy, I'll have to ask you to leave!
Where the fuck did I call all refugees rapists?
Right here.
Yes the convicted felons they are sending back. Wtf is happening here.
What is happening? I dunno, called out on your hateful rhetoric, perhaps? The article does not mention their crimes, just that they are convicted felons, but still people.

The article links to the above also, which resulted in the suicide of someone who spent his whole adult life in Germany who was deported to Afghanistan. Is he also "scum"?
Maybe people know more than what's written in the article. Say, they might have read the German press. Like this article.
28 people, all convicted of serious crimes, examples given are a rapist, someone who got into trouble with the law 150 times, we have attempted manslaughter, aggravated robbery, aggravated bodily harm, another rapist, more aggravated bodily harm, more rape.
Three were held back by the state attorneys saying they want to prosecute further and/or want them to sit in prison for longer, two were not at home when police came to arrest them, one of those is now a fugitive.
Oh and all get 1000 Euros so they won't straight-up starve on arrival.
Since they do not even seem to know why he was deported, no he was not. I don't know what that article has to do with me not liking rapists and murderers though. Non refugee ones can be shot into space for all I care as well.
Aight.
Because you assumed they are all "rapists and murderers", which they are not.
Yeah there is also grievous bodily harm and manslaughter. Not saying I'm in favor of the deportation, but all 28 committed serious crimes.
Rapists shit on human rights as well
Deportation as reaction to crime or deviation is a failure of the justice system: a) Deportation to current Afghanistan for rape is not much of a penalty. b) Deprivation of liberty (jail) allegedly serves social rehabilitation; jail is thus supposed to display Täterarbeit, work with/on perpetrators to achieve accountability. Deportation of criminals deprives a society of justice.
A deported rapist isn't going to rape any of the natives and citizens anymore.
As for the women of Afghanistan, at least the Taliban will protect their dignity and Allāh will not forget them. /s
So if I understood you correctly, "natives and citizens" symbolises people in Germany in context.
Deporting unwanted behaviour doesn't lessen its effect in both societies, which are likely connected in some way anyways (ie not North Korea). Rape is still bad for a society if it exists in other societies, because the non-prevention (not working on perpetrators/would-be perpetrators) and subsequent normalisation of rape harms everyone.
Deportation of unwanted behaviour is a bit like exporting toxic waste; don't expect the poison not to come back in some way.
You make decent points.
However, it seems that in some ways neither society takes rape seriously.
In the case of many Western justice systems, such as Germany, the rapists aren't seriously dealt with—the word "coddle" comes to mind, and we dare not mention that Islamic culture seems to tolerate rape even more.
So how do we deal with rapists?
Longer sentences? Too costly and many have criticized imprisonment.
Castration? It seems to tame other male mammals and ensures that the rapes won't result in pregnancies, but many think it's barbaric.
Social engineering—as all, or almost all, men are to varying degrees potential rapists, all need to be treated—which at the very least would mean more annoying PSAs that millions of non-violent men must suffer.
an additional court system for rape, where the burden of proof is lighter, but so are the punishments?
Idk.
But it seems that many men, who found refuge in a country that millions of Afghanis would probably love to go to but won't be allowed in, who squandered the goodwill with violations of those among its more vulnerable natives and citizens, are being sent away; and I don't think they will have that easy a time in Afghanistan. Perhaps they will be regarded as fools, as un-Islamic for leaving, easily identified if they come from some small village.
but if they stay in Germany, there might be one of 2 results:
the process reformed them, and they won't violate again—possible but I wouldn't count on it.
they are not reformed, and will violate again.
Also keep in mind that this isn't really "exporting toxic waste", but rather sending it back to where it originated, and if we are concerned with rape victims, maybe Germany could take an additional 5x that number of female refugees from Afghanistan, including their daughters and sons under 6 (the older ones possibly been too corrupted by Islamic Afghani culture).
