Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Right now it is very difficult to tell who the Nazis are... It is baffling
One quick field test: If the fella is to the right of George Bush, he's a fascist.
You'll miss some of the prep-school Nazis, but catch most of them this way
Actually it works best if you look at them all as ethno-Fascists (Fascists whose ideas are around ethnicity, rather than nationality like the more traditional Fascists) which is a pretty rare variant.
Obviously Zionists aren't the National Socialist Party of The German Worker.
However they are ethno-Fascists, same as the NAZIs, hence sharing a lot of characteristics such as a race-centric discourse, extreme racist views and extreme sociopathic violence against those they see as "enemy races", all of which explains to an extent why Zionists are so similar to NAZIs except in terms of which ethnicities they see as superior and which they see as "vermin".
Also both ideologies were born at around the same time and were even for a while allied, though NAZIsm was defangued and mainly destroyed after WWII, whilst Zionism was given their own nation and left to spread their racism for 3 generations, which further explains the similarities between NAZIsm and Zionism (especially in terms of the style of propaganda).
This latter part also explains how Israel is a nation dominated by late 19th century white colonialism views who unironically see themselves as having "Western values", whilst most of the West has actually significantly improved beyond such mindset since the 19th century and are nowhere as prone to things like mass murdering of civilians because of their ethnicity.
