Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

The USA needs a regime change

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

More like secession.

antifa, the decentralized far-left movement

What bullshit is this? Being against fascism isn't "far left". I mean, what kind of bar have they set, here? If someone is straight up communist are they far, far, far, far, far left? There's so much between antifa and "far" left that you could fit dozens of countries in that space.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Like it or not, in mainstream parlance, Antifa doesn’t signify simply being anti-fascist; it signifies being one of those people that goes to KKK and Neo-Nazi marches and intentionally starts fights. And that is very far-left.

It's like saying Brazil is far north when viewed from Antarctica

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

It’s a redefining of what counts as center. Their far right antics just look moderate right if you can pull the center along with you.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

It' politico they belong to a right-wing media outlet from Germany called Springer. They are simply shit stains of human beings - I will not give examples, but they alone caused the entire legal system develop a system on how to rectify intentional slander by the press.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

If you want to keep your rights you're a far-left radical. Bow down to your king.

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago

To be fair, a movement is not its name. National socialists aren't socialists. Antifa in practice is far-left, as any sane person should be.

[–] Restaldt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Thats the neat part.

Antifa isn't a group its whoever the fascists want it to be

[–] AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 45 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Of course, by the headline, you'd assume "shooting at Texas immigration facility" and "8 accused" would mean "8 people fired shots at the facility"...

But the reality is that 8 people had guns on them, (claimed for self defense), ONE guy in the group shot a police officer pulling up to the (already mostly dispersed) protest OUTSIDE an immigration facility, and ALL of them then got accused.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

This is so much horse shit. They couldn't prove the other attendees were colluding with the shooter at all. They were convicted on optics alone.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why?? Feels fishy... careful of the agitators kids...

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Felony Murder type laws probably?

Like if 5 folks show up to a robbery and one kills someone they all get charged with murder.

My response is more of a “how” not a “why”

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

No i mean why would he open fire on police after everyone is dispersing and there was no immediatr conflict. Most activists ae smarter than that. There was no reason to escalate. He was by definition agitating and was oviously not very well vetted if they all knew eachother

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

It was Texas. I'm sure everyone had a gun.

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 days ago

Political prisoners.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 22 points 3 days ago

The Justice Department called the violence an attack plotted by antifa operatives but attorneys for the accused denied that characterization, saying there were no antifa associations and that it was merely a demonstration with fireworks before gunshots broke out.

The regime lied about what happened, lied about the protesters having any links to antifa groups and grossly misapplied terrorism charges.

But even if it had been exactly what the regime falsely claims it was, it's undeniable that attacking the guards at a concentration camp deserves a medal of valor.

[–] DigitalDidgeridoo@kbin.earth 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Is "antifa" even a real organization that actually exists, or is it just a logo?

[–] wizbiz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago
[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago

It's a principle.
There are thousands of organizations that follow the principle and many adopt it's name, but it's no more an organization than feminism.

I’d love for a single source here lmao

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Hopefully gets overturned on appeal. An absolute abuse of power.
