They said it’s “threatening violence”, breaking Rule 1
You deserve it by grossly understating what Nazis deserve. /s
I got banned from [email protected] for calling out nazi sympathizers. Granted I did call them cunts, so YMMV.
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.
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.
I wish it went both ways. I’m all for being able to say Nazis should be punched, even if I think it’s a stupid statement. But I also said LGBTQ politics should be kept out of Pokemon communities and got banned for that. Free speech for all or none at all
No investigation, no right to speak. Homophobes should be censored.
Until we have equal rights we aren’t going to shut up any time, any where. If you want LGBTQ politics out of pokemon you better fix the problems LGBTQ people are facing.
Better way to put it, until people can look at “LGBTQ politics” in the same manner as games they concider "non-political, we aren’t going away
Violence against fascists is defense of humanity
I mean, my grandfather would probably have said they deserved worse.
Their ideology is literally violence against the vulnerable.
Yes, that is why I am here now. Got the ol’ perma ban on Reddit. Also rule 1 against Trump’s SS.
Also rule 1 against Trump’s aSSclowns.
FTFY
Thanks! Didn’t realize I misspelled it!
Hey we are twins. Same thing I was banned for 2 or so years ago.
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.
The left: Maybe we have to do violence?
Liberals: How dare you!
Nazis: We already did some violence, it was awesome. We have every intention of doing more.
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.
Both can exist simultaneously and share blame.
Yeah, I suppose. It’s just vastly more an issue with the right.
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
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.
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.

lol yeah that was also one of my three strikes for getting perma’d from The Old Place
yeah, last few years has been like that. can’t say shit anymore.
Yep. I picked up 2 temp bans, a sub permanent ban, and then a total ban after 16 years once Reddit went public. All of that in two months. I haven’t changed but the world sure did. One of them was me showing the medical gear you should carry to attend the first No Kings rally. I was “inciting violence” and got banned from my cities /r
Better here anyways. I just needed a push.
I got bans for checks notes using an anonymizer and deleting an account, then on a new account being told I broke rules for using an anonymizer on a linked account and getting sitewide banned for it because I was “evading bans.”
Can’t wait to anonymize my new throwaway and then request deletion through the california privacy law enabling it.
They have a ton of tech to track you down. I just gave up the app all together. I don’t even click on the goggle search results for Reddit anymore.
I wish there was a browser addon which would create bogus ai slop comments and just save them as drafts.
Admittedly I wish this was built into RES and just happened randomly across reddit. The ai misinformation war needs to start to punish the companies selling user data imo.

would you care to repost that? i wouldn’t mind taking a look
Reddit is a shithole
