Rules
- 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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- 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 (incl. Substack). 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 admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

Did you get this idea of left/right politics completely from TikTok or something?
yeah, because that's where the kids are and that's what they are learning.
you can mock it all you want, but it's their primary source of information about the world.
i find it hilarious how the media 'doesn't get it' why young people are this way... well because the media is full of old farts who they don't listen to. they also think anyone over 30 is old. i have four teeange nephews... everything is tiktok and discord. there is nothing else. even instagram is considered weird and old to them.
and they are anti-progressive and pro traditionalism. they think lgbt people are annoying and whiny and get unfair advantages in life, and they are very angry that everyone blames them for societies problems because they are boys, when all they are trying to do is figure shit out, and nobody is helping them. and when they ask for help, they get mocked and told to go fuck themselves because they are 'privileged white boys'.
why would not want to go back to a society where they were treated better? nobody has any empathy for them or their problems and they know it.
Lmao, a couple dumbfuck teenagers thinking they're oppressed = leftists blame men as the source of all evil π
Was this supposed to be the example of leftists calling men the source of all evil? Even a screenshot from the nichest corners of Tumblr would've been better than this.
this is exactly why they are the way they are. you don't think they are people. your replies here are exactly why they are becoming conservative... because conservatives don't shit all over them them for existing.
It's simple dude. If I got up in your face and called you a stupid piece of shit... then asked you to vote for my side... you'd want? be happy to do that?
if you want young men to vote for your side, stop calling them 'dumbfuck teenagers'.
If you called me a stupid piece of shit, and I was somebody who was claiming to be oppressed for being a male teenager, you'd completely be in the right. You would knock some sense into me as well maybe.
And claiming that I'm dehumanizing teenagers is fucking hilarious π€£. Are you a male rights activist perchance? And are you going to show me leftists (not Xitter/Tumblr liberals) claiming that "Men are the source of all evil" or not?
You are entirely missing the point, but it doesn't matter because you won't see it anyway. You're so blinded by your own righteousness and hate, that anything you do is correct, and anything anyone else does is wrong.
