Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

This is why I love the left. You're all holed up in your silos and have no idea what the opposition to you actually believe. At the same time the opposition is actively expanding out so many people believe this sentiment and when the left are confronted with these things it's shocking to them. Meanwhile these ideas have become common.

There's just no resistance to them spreading ideas.

First: Nazi lives don't matter

Second:

Start proving this shit

Lemmy loves communism, loves killing millions of people, especially Jews, loves racism, loves misgendering historical figures, I could probably go on.

Seriously, prove it. Now.

Save for the communism stuff, duh. "Oh no, the people own the means of production? How terrible!"

The rest, prove it.

.inb4 "I don't have to prove anything to you" or moving the goal posts

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The comment is the proof. I can also go on to r/conservative or r/h3 to show similar ideas.

My point is, Lemmy and others on the left are so holed up in corners like Lemmy that they are unprepared to actually engage.

People on the left do not engage with the world. Second of all, calling everyone Nazi and fascists isn't doing Jack shit. Fucking evolve and adapt

Your proof is the comment you made? That's some horseshit "trust me bro" logic.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is the proof. You don't know what you're arguing. I'm not saying what they said is valid. I'm saying their opinion is a common opinion. My proof is their opinion and your reaction to it.

Is every red hat as stupid as you, or are you intentionally moronic? Do you need to be institutionalized? Are you trying to get first place in the Fucking Stupid-ass Moron Olympics?

Provide fucking evidence besides saying "that's the evidence" you fucking walnut!

YOU cannot be trusted, so "trust me bro" mentality doesn't hold up. Show evidence from credible sources. Right now.

Remember math class? Show your work.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So many lines of just fucked up insults. Lame ass ones too. Not a Red hat. But also not like you. Proof is already provided.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

You have not provided anything, bro. You have literally no argument. And I'm not the asshole you have been replying to. You've got nothing because you have presented nothing.

The other guy looks like a dick, but this thread makes you look dumb.
