Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

Man in burqa accidentally joins Nazi march and pretends to be part of their gang.
His face looks a bit like a stereotypical random Syrian teenager as well to me which is funny.
I wouldn’t blink if you told me these were randoms you picked up on the streets of Beirut or Latakia. I can probably find a doppelgänger for every person in these photos in a 5-minute stroll down the Ras Beirut corniche and recreate them with very little effort.
I wish there was anything to say about this like “Isn’t it cute how racists are willfully blind to what’s in front of them” but it’s not. I’m beyond finding the humor in shit like this.
Think you failed to recognise the sarcasm of my comment to ridicule the buffoon in the video. Wind your neck in and consider that I know
I read the sarcasm, that's why it comes across racist mate. Think, would you have made the same comment if he were white?
Blimey, you really are determined. Yes, doesn't matter, its the irony of how he looks vs what he objects too. Good enough for your belligerence? Is being South Asian origin Muslim sufficient or do you wish to persist?
Do you always call people who disagree with you belligerent? Blimey.
I'm now convinced that you represent the department of arguments. Call it a day

I'm brown. My family is from S. Asia. We are living through increased scapegoating everytime we put the TV on. Comparing the head coverings of the buffoons to religious or traditional dress is humourous within our communities. On a related note, we also quietly joke about uncles with big bellies, bad suits and bushy beards as Indian Santa's. Poor taste in the wrong context, but you can always chuckle in privacy at your uncles.
I was actually confused for a bit there because i read sieg heil in the title and then saw someone in a hijab record the video
