A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Designate a concept as a terrorist organization, and then you can label anyone you don't like as antifa so you can prosecute them.
It's ridiculous how far the US is now into fascism. If the frog knew any history it would know what it means to be in a nice warm water por on top of a stove.
This feels like those theatre plays for children where the wolf is hiding behind the main character and all the children are shouting "the wolf is there!!" While the main character remains oblivious.

It's annoying to explain
Because it's actually quite simple
So listen closely
Because I'll say it only once
If you're anti-ANTIFA you are FA You can say what you want
But that's the truth
And I wish I didn't have to constantly be against something But how is that supposed to work with all those goddamn Nazi pigs?
And if it annoys you to hear that that's not my problem
but your problem... not hard to understand at all.
I could take care of nice things
We could take care of nice things
Instead, we have to deal with the scum
If you're anti-ANTIFA you are FA You can say what you want
But that's the truth
And I wish I didn't have to constantly be against something But how is that supposed to work with all those goddamn Nazi pigs?
How is that supposed to work?
How is that supposed to work?
How is that supposed to work, please?
Is antifa in the room with us right now?
US govt going mask off.
Against fascism? Terrorist
Against Trump? Terrorist
Pro-LGBT? Terrorist
Pro-free speech? Believe it or not, terrorist
You undercook fish, terrorist, you over cook chicken, terrorist.
This is going to lead to an escalation of political violence.
If something as nebulous as antifa is "terrorist", then it's easy for anyone to be classified as a terrorist. See also what is going on in the UK with Palestine Action. But instead of embarrassed unarmed bobbies doing the arresting, in the US it will be masked, unidentified goons, mirroring ICE practices. So that lowers the threshold to drop into a "homo sacer" category that can be basically shot on sight. Which means, more people will have nothing to lose. Which means more political violence.
Oh, he learns from the israeli despot.
First they came for the communists <- You are here.
Can't wait for everyone he doesn't like to be branded antifa.
Who runs Antifa, trump? WHO FUCKING RUNS ANTIFA???
NOBODY DOES, YOU SHIT-BRAINED FUCKWIT
When he brings in a random political enemy and dubs them "antifah'z leadurr" and literally nothing changes, his dumbass dickriders will still cheer and party while their freedom continues to erode. They get to blame the most absurd reasons spoonfed to them from daddy propaganda and we have to live with knowing it's their goddamn fault this happened.
Thanks for reading my rant.
That's the point.
It's a anyone that don't want around. Label them antifa and now you can do everything the law allows with terrorists and worse.
Antifa is anyone or anything the Führer wants to disappear.
He's Facist and AntiFa is short for Anti-Facist
Makes sense from his fantasy version of the world.
Can't wait for him to fall asleep in public and not wake-up
Trump Jnr was on some show a few days ago explaining how Antifa stands for Anti-Fascist but that they’re using the tools of fascists and are become fascist themselves.
This is how they will explain it to the sheep in red hats
Anyone protesting or says anything mean again him from now on = antifa
and he wouldn't be wrong if these people are well, anti fascist.
just a way to criminalize resistance with a swift handwave.
This is what a lot of commenters are missing. This might be the most dangerous part.
If you're against fascism, you're now an enemy of the state.
Better start doing Nazi things to hide your true anti-fascist terrorist feelings, so you don't get arrested!
I hate this country. I hate having been born here. I hate the fact fascism is on the rise. I hate that people are openly embracing it again. I hate that I have to consider leaving everything for a less shit country. I hate almost everything.
Which country are you thinking of moving to?
Antarctica
Probably my favorite line in Lower Decks is from Shaxs.
PAH-WRAITH: You can snap my neck, but what will you do against all your victims? All the Cardassian warriors getting their revenge.
SHAXS: They weren't warriors. They were occupiers!
Shaxs has some great anti-facist quotes!
BOIMLER: I just asked if you learned how to throw pots on Bajor.
SHAXS: You think I had time for anything other then resisting? Fighting Fascism is a full time job!
That says more about Trump, than anything else.
He's pro-fa
Without the "pro"
Gosh. I hope the antifa chief doesn't get fired.
If you can declare a non organization a terrorist organization, you can also claim that anyone you don't like is a member.
This is deliberate
It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use
This is true for nearly everything he's done so far. Yet, he just keeps doing them.
That’s fine, I’ve designated conservatives as terrorists.
They’ve legit already done that themselves
Uncle-fa banning antifa. Hah.
Guess someone that isn't right-leaning have to be blamed for the assassinations and the far-right sure as hell won't have anything coming at them.
They’re also planning on banning big foot
