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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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.)

MODERATORS
"Conservatives" will never ever do anything against nazis, fascists or other far-right extremists because they think the same and are simply too cowardly to speak it out. Instead they will hide behind a veil of alleged moderate 'middle-class' attitude to get to power. And they will drop that act like it never was a thing the moment it's time to rule with their far-right friends.
Your views on the world and about ideas and people are as extreme and similair to the once you see as enemys as they are naive.
The founding fathers and mothers of germany and many resistance members were conservatives just as there were progressivs. And even in modern day we still have a vast part of conservativ parties that hard line against fascists. Even the BIW party in germany, who is even more faar right than CDU, is and has upheld its hard course against fascist even when they were up for the choice of gaining more power with them. This alone underminds your whole narative.
Walter Lübcke, a conservativ party member, a victim of nazi terror, just like many other humans with him.
The fight is not "left vs right" no it is democrats vs fascist and other dictator lovers.
I'd advise you to step out of your online bubble and talk with people :) Spread love and not further hate. Unity instead of divison and allianation
Which vast part is that? The one that happily agreed when the C*U leadership tried to push deportation laws with AfD support? The C*U that happily jumped onto the band-wagon of a far-right campaign to cancel their own candidate for the constitional court? Or the C*U that spend the last years parroting every single far-right culture war topic the fascists invented? Maybe it's the C*U that is constantly trying to normalise the idea of cooperating with those AfD nazis, so they can instantly pretend it was only Merz that rejected them the moment they get rid of that worst chancellor ever? Oh, wait... I know! It's the C*U that refuses to initiate the evaluation to get them banned for being unconstitutional. Because why would their help to ban their future coalition partner?
Can we talk about actually relevant parties instead of some local splinter group of an already irrelevant local right-wing party with a double-digit number of members and barely more votes than that?
And guess who stayed mostly silent while there was a loud outcry from left parties? The C*U. And guess who even recently dared to accuse left parties of not having reacted at all when Lübcke was killed? Some minor C*U politician called Friedrich Merz.
I'd advice you to get help for your mental issues. Oh, wait... you better don't as the nazi supporters you are trying to excuse will come for those with documented mental issues quickly.
