To be fair America has being do this to anyone not white and Christian since it's founding

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

Yep, but now they’re being extremely flagrant about it.

[-] SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 71 points 1 month ago

Obscuring your DOT number is illegal. I’m sure the police will definitely enforce that rule in this instance…

[-] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Oh man, that'll be the one thing that makes the whole operation unravel! The cops'll get him! Checkmate, gators!

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 63 points 1 month ago

Which tells you why it's so important to keep accurate notes of who's a nazi bitch and who's not.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

This time around, we can keep lists too.

Why are mods deleting comments and locking articles?

My comment was prefaced as being hyperbole and I said ICE should be held to account. What is this, Reddit?

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

mods here in this comm are known fascist supporters. if you “dehumanize” a nazi they boot you.

ICE should not only be held accountable but demolished.

[-] admiralpatrick@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

If you convince the public that one group is undeserving of human rights, then it's easier to convince them of the next group. It's also incredibly easy to expand the first group you've already dehumanized to include even more people than it did before.

Even if you think nazi's don't deserve human rights, what definition of nazi are you using? On the internet, especially Lemmy, people will take each other out of context, call each other nazis over the slightest disagreement and then strut around like they've somehow won the debate.

You say nazis don't deserve human rights but then people go around calling each other nazis over nothingburger disagreements which, according to your logic, immediately revokes their human rights.

And the jump to "the mods must be fascist supporters" is an absolute dive straight into insane troll logic.

Nazi lives don’t matter

[-] ysjet@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Please look up the Paradox of Tolerance, also known as the Contract of Tolerance.

[-] admiralpatrick@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The paradox of tolerance doesn't say shit about adopting the tactics of your perceived enemies (dehumanizing people to justify jailing them or worse) nor does it condone it. It also does not give one a pass to advocate violence against people one accuses of being part of the not-tolerated group.

Again, if the populace of Lemmy didn't jump straight to "You're a nazi/bootlicker" as a default method of disagreement, these kinds of comments could be taken differently.

[-] ysjet@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Why are you defending the intolerant so hard?

You need to understand, this isn't "adopting their tactics." This is "if you do not tolerate others, you no longer are protected by the social contract."

You can opt out if you wish, but that has to cut both ways, or your contract of tolerance is worthless.

[-] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 18 points 1 month ago

Nothingburgers like concentration camps and denying people human rights because they're brown? Fuck all the way off with your slippery slope horeshit.

I never said they don’t deserve human rights. I’ve said they are not human. They trade all humanity when they choose to be nazis. Why are you tolerant of nazis enough to not see this point as a repercussion of their own choices?

New refugee from Reddit - is there a better community for discussing politics without heavy handed mods stepping in?

[-] admiralpatrick@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Looking at the modlog, it was because the comment section was turning into a lynch mob, frothing at the mouth, and calling for more and more intense violence. Hiding behind "I'm totally joking, but..." isn't the magic shield you think it is.

No, this isn't Reddit, but that doesn't mean we're going to platform calls for violence and extremism.

[-] delgato@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Okay thanks I will take your word that those “violent comments” were there, since you hold all the evidence. I’m an adult and know if calls for violence go too far, I don’t need a mod to hide stuff from me and delete and lock comments without explanation.

[-] admiralpatrick@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

They're literally in the modlog - all you have to do is look.

Unrelated to anything here, what are these called?

[-] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 1 month ago
[-] toast@retrolemmy.com 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Thanks. I wonder what they are used for.

[-] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago

I have no idea. But here's an easy way to make them.

[-] toast@retrolemmy.com 8 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Still not sure exactly what I'd do with them, but I do love arts and crafts

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Troping Cals obvs…

[-] knightly@pawb.social 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Area denial weapons. The name comes from the Old English "calcatrippe", meaning "heel-trap", which itself came from the French "chause-trape", or "shoe-trap".

Their design ensures that they will always land with one spike pointing up, so they can be scattered in the path of advancing enemies to slow them down or injure their feet.

[-] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 16 points 1 month ago

Doesn't look like anything to me. These violent delights will have violent ends, though.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 1 month ago

How long before "it's a job" no longer covers your ass? We keep accepting this stance.

[-] Naich@lemmings.world 50 points 1 month ago

The Nuremberg trials established that "I was just following orders" is not a defense for crimes against humanity.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 month ago

Funny how we still allow it today. Nuremberg trials just held those in WWII responsible. Look around at the world, it is filled with people that " just follow orders."

[-] SCmSTR 12 points 1 month ago

For the record, I have never accepted this stance and have always stood against the excuse.

Explanation is not justification.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago

How many people do you know work for a company like Amazon, Wal-Mart, Meta, police officers, military personal, etc....?

Shit swamp prison is just the most extreme version of it.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

It's almost like every single detail and level of this is steeped in corruption and lawlessness

[-] blarth@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 month ago

So they must believe they’re doing something good and altruistic then, right?

[-] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 14 points 1 month ago

That review hit the nail on the head: Why do all these people feel like they have to hide if they aren't doing anything wrong?

They know what they're doing is wrong. They are doing it anyway. They want you to believe they are "just following orders" or "just following the money" but they know what they're doing. They are not your neighbor, your family, your coworker. Maybe they were once, but they've sold their soul and they are not that anymore.

These people are irredeemable. They are the enemy of every good person on the planet, and the sooner everyone accepts that, the sooner we can do what is necessary to stop them. Fascism comes in all shapes and sizes and colors, it wears all sorts of flags and clothes, but it's still fascism down to the roots, it will kill or convert everything it touches into a tool for its own use, and it will use those tools to destroy everything good and kind in the world. Nevermind the woke mind-virus, this is the fascist mind-virus and it's absolutely real, we've seen it before, and we've seen what it can do.

We must fight it again. They want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we're not. We won last time, and we will win again. But be prepared to fight hard, because we'll need to.

Those companies need black highlighters like the ones the government uses to highlight important information in documents

Track every one of these motherfuckers.
