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.

A punk band is not real because they say they are real. A punk band is real when they speak truth to power. Big ups to Bob Vylan for putting their mouth where their money is.
As someone in another post commented: Streisand effect. I never heard of these guys until now.
The genocide apologists are going to have a lot of egg on their face. They just keep digging themselves a deeper and deeper hole. History is written by the victors, but the younger generations have the last word. And history will not be kind.
its great PR/good press for said artist.
Dropped from the label, they removed their visas in the usa so a ct on their revenus and could face "justice"
It is a good pr for the palestinian cause not the artist
You know I’d never heard of these guys until the outrage and I’ve been listening all day and I’m quite a fan.
Also, if you shouted death to Hitler in the ‘40s would you be getting this backlash too.
Charlie Chaplin released The Great Dictator in 1939, and while Hitler banned the film in Nazi-controlled countries, he allegedly watched it more than once after Chaplin personally arranged to have a copy sent to him (the balls on that guy).
Maybe not "death to Hitler," but it's fucking scathing, and the final speech would be considered extreme if it was released today.
Fantastic film if anyone hasn't seen it. Hysterical, on point satire.
Jack Kirby was threatened for drawing Captain America punching Hitler. The difference back then was the mayor of NYC pot a protection detail on the Marvel offices instead of coming out to bat for Hitler.
It's more interesting to ask if " Death to Hitler" would have got you this reaction in the 30s. By the 40s we were at war with him and his followers. In the 30s he was in power, but there were still diplomatic relations.
Haha, no. You underestimate the power antisemitism has always had in the US
Also, if you shouted death to Hitler in the ‘40s would you be getting this backlash too.
Among the Axis countries yes.
Even among the allied countries, yes.
There was still a lot of people who were afraid of offending Hitler/Germany at the time.
While at war with them?
There were plenty of Americans who felt he had the right idea.
There is no backlash. It's manufactured outrage by Zionists and their puppets in media and politics.
I’m certainly in favor of seeing the IDF in prison. Bring on more chants.
No, the change is right. They need to die.
As in the organization needs to die. Which would quickly bring about the death of Zionist Israel as well, most likely.
That's probably true of most things people think/say about the IDF at this point. Even my massively zionist "most moral military" aunt is calling it a genocide and is starting to oppose them
I wish my parents paid as much attention as your aunt. The other day they gave me the very good news that all the articles I send them about the genocide are made up! The BBC had to rescind their articles because the sources aren’t trustworthy, they told me. So no genocide at all!
😐
The IDF are Nazis and committing genocide daily.
People chanting: “Death, death to the IDF!!” Is the bare minimum repercussion that’s to be expected. More people should join in!
Anyone defending or censoring for the IDF if a fucking goose stepping fascist.
So their US visas got revoked. Meh. Who needs to go to the US anyway, who needs to be interrogated by some fascist chode at the border.
Sadly, they will probably be convicted of some sort of hate speech and sent down.
Bob vylan doesn't have to say it. The trump administration said it to the world they would do this
Could someone with better search skills or knowledge of their discography link to their music for me? I’ve heard it’s good but I legitimately can’t find anything but news videos when I go looking (I don’t use any music handler platforms)
Start with their second album, We Live Here. It's got some incredible, visceral punk on it. The Price of Life, and Humble As the Sun are top notch, but a touch more polished.
